SolarEdge SEAUTO-TX-5000 User Manual

CAUTION!
Installing a SolarEdge system without ensuring compatibility of the module connectors with the
optimizer connectors may be unsafe and could cause functionality problems such as ground faults,
resulting in inverter shut down. To ensure mechanical compatibility of the SolarEdge optimizers’
connectors with the PV modules’ connectors to which they are connected, use identical connectors
from the same manufacturer and of the same type on both the power optimizers and on the PV modules.

Les connecteurs du module doivent être mécaniquement compatibles avec les optimiseurs de
puissance. Sinon, le système SolarEdge installé peut être dangereux ou causer des problèmes
fonctionnels, tels que les défauts de terre, qui peuvent provoquer un arrêt de l’onduleur. Afin d'assurer la
compatibilité mécanique entre les optimiseurs de puissance SolarEdge et les modules auxquels ils sont
connectés, il faut Utiliser des connecteurs identiques du même fabricant et du même type aussi bien
pour les optimiseurs de puissance que pour les modules.

IMPORTANTSAFETYFEATURE
Modules with SolarEdge power optimizers are safe. They carry only a low safety voltage before the
inverter is turned ON. As long as the power optimizers are not connected to the inverter or the inverter is
turned OFF, each power optimizer will output a safe voltage of 1V.

Installation Guidelines
l Frame-mountedpoweroptimizersaremounteddirectlyonthemoduleframe,
regardlessofrackingsystem(rail-lessorwithrails).Forinstallationofframe-mounted
poweroptimizers,refertohttp://www.solaredge.com/sites/default/files/installing_
frame_mounted_power_optimizers.pdf.
l Thestepsinthischapterrefertomoduleadd-onpoweroptimizers.Forsmart
modules,startfrom.Alsorefertothedocumentationsuppliedwiththesmart
modules.
l Thepoweroptimizercanbeplacedinanyorientation.
l Toallowforheatdissipation,maintaina2.5cm/1"clearancedistancebetweenthepoweroptimizer
andothersurfaces.
l Ifconnectingmoremodulesthanoptimizerinputsinparallel,useabranchcable(availablefrom
SolarEdge).Somecommercialpoweroptimizermodelshaveadualinput.
l Positionthepoweroptimizercloseenoughtoitsmodulesothattheircablescanbeconnected.
l Makesuretousepoweroptimizersthathavetherequiredoutputconductorlength:

o
Minimizetheuseofextensionsbetweenpoweroptimizers,anduseonlyifconnectionbetween
optimizersindifferentrowsorarraysisrequired.

o
Donotuseextensioncablesbetweenthemodulesandthepoweroptimizers.
l Theminimumandmaximumstringlengthguidelinesarestatedinthepoweroptimizerdatasheets.
RefertotheSolarEdgeSiteDesignerforstringlengthverification.TheSolarEdgeSiteDesigneris
availableontheSolarEdgewebsiteathttp://www.solaredge.us/products/installer-tools/site-
designer#/.
l Completelyshadedmodulesmaycausetheirpoweroptimizerstotemporarilyshutdown.Thiswill
notaffecttheperformanceoftheotherpoweroptimizersinthestring,aslongastheminimum
numberofunshadedpoweroptimizersconnectedinastringofmodulesismet.Ifundertypical
conditionsfewerthantheminimumoptimizersareconnectedtounshadedmodules,addmore
