NOTE
Additional SolarEdge inverters (without batteries) can be connected with
RS485. The inverters will participate in export limitation and Smart Energy
Management.
Connecting multiple inverters with RS485 master-slave connection may
require an
RS485 Expansion Kit
(available from SolarEdge).
PV modules connected to power optimizers are not mandatory for charge/
discharge profile programming and for backup power.
Additional Reference
This document describes basic system connection and configuration -
PVsystem (power optimizer strings), one inverter, one battery, backed-
up loads panel and one meter.
For additional configuration options refer to the StorEdge Solution
