Step 4: Verifying Proper Power Optimizer
Connection
Whenamoduleisconnectedtoapoweroptimizer,thepoweroptimizeroutputsasafevoltageof1V.
Therefore,thetotalstringvoltageshouldbeequalto1Vtimesthenumberofpoweroptimizers
connectedinseriesinthestring.Forexample,if10poweroptimizersareconnectedinastring,then10V
shouldbeproduced.
Makesurethemodulesareexposedtosunlightduringthisprocess;otherwise,thepoweroptimizersmay
notbepowered.Ifyouuseatracker,thepoweroptimizerwillturnONonlyifthetrackeristrackingthe
sunandthemoduleprovidesatleast2W.
InSolarEdgesystems,duetotheintroductionofpoweroptimizersbetweenthePVmodulesandthe
inverter,theshortcircuitcurrentI
SC
andtheopencircuitvoltageV

holddifferentmeaningsfrom
thoseintraditionalsystems.

note.pdf.
To verify proper power optimizers connection:
Measurethevoltageofeachstringindividuallybeforeconnectingittotheotherstringsortotheinverter.
Verifycorrectpolaritybymeasuringthestringpolaritywithavoltmeter.Useavoltmeterwithatleast
0.1Vmeasurementaccuracy.
