Installation Equipment List
Standard tools can be used during the installation of the SolarEdge system. The following is a
recommendation of the equipment needed for installation:

Allen screwdriver for M6/M8 screw types

Standard flat head screwdrivers set

Voltage tester screwdriver

Drilling motor and bits suitable for the surface on which the inverter will be installed Suitable screws
for attaching the inverter mounting bracket to the surface to which it will be connected

M6 (1/4") or M8 (5/16”) stainless bolts, nuts, and washers for attaching the power optimizer to the
racking

MC4 Crimper

Wire cutters

Wire strippers

Voltmeter
For installing the communication options, you may also need the following:

For Ethernet:
 CAT5/6 twisted pair Ethernet cable
 RJ-45 plugs
 RJ-45 crimper

For RS485:
 Four- or six-wire twisted pair
 Small flat head screwdriver set
Inverter Transport and Storage
Transport the inverter in its original packaging, facing up and without exposing it to unnecessary shocks. If
the original package is no longer available, use a similar box that can withstand the weight of the inverter
(refer to the inverter weight in Appendix B: Technical Specifications on page 58), has a handle system and
can be closed fully.
Store the inverter in a dry place where ambient temperatures are -25°C - +65°C / -13°F - 149°F.
