Chapter 1: Introducing the SolarEdge Power

Harvesting System The SolarEdge power harvesting solution maximizes the power output from any type of solar Photovoltaic (PV) installation while reducing the average cost per watt. The following sections describe each of the system’s components. Figure 1: The SolarEdge power harvesting system components Chapter 1: Introducing the SolarEdge Power Harvesting System     10 EV Charging Single Phase Inverter MAN-01-00629-1.2

The power optimisers are DC-DC converters connected to PV panels in order to

maximize power harvesting by performing independent Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) at the panellevel. The power optimisers regulate the string voltage at a constant level, regardless of string length and environmental conditions. The power optimisers include a safety voltage function that automatically reduces the output of each power optimiser to 1 Vdc in the following cases: During fault conditions The power optimisers are disconnected from the inverter The inverter ON/OFF/P switch is turned OFF The safety switch on the Connection Unit with Safety Switch is turned OFF The inverter AC breaker is turned OFF Each power optimiser also transmits panel performance data over the DC power line to the inverter. Two types of power optimisers are available: Panel Add-on power optimiser – connected to one or more panels Smart panels - the power optimiser is embedded into a panel EV Carging Single Phase Inverter The EV Charging Single Phase Inverter (referred to as “inverter” throughout) efficiently converts DC power from the panels into AC power that can be fed into the main AC service of the site and from there to the grid. The inverter also receives the monitoring data from each power optimiser and transmits it to a central server (the monitoring platform; requires Internet connection). The EV Charging Single Phase Inverter is designed to provide reliable and economical charging of an electric vehicle (EV). It provides Mode 3 EV charging from both the grid and the PV system, and is designed to work with all plug-in vehicles with J1772 (Type 1) socket and (Type 2) IEC62196 sockets. An EV Charger cable (ordered separately) is required for EV charging: The EV Charger Cable connects the EV plug to the inverter The wall mounted EV Charger cable holder is used for hanging the EV Charger cable and plug, protecting the plug from rain when not plugged into the vehicle , and provides strain relief for the inverter when the cable is pulled.

Chapter 2: Installing the Power Optimisers

Safety The following notes and warnings apply when installing the power optimisers. Some of the following may not be applicable to smart panels: WARNING! When modifying an existing installation, turn OFF the inverter ON/OFF/P switch, the Safety Switch (if applicable) and the AC circuit breaker on the main AC distribution panel. CAUTION! Power optimisers are IP68/NEMA6P rated. Choose a mounting location where optimisers will not be submerged in water. CAUTION! This unit must be operated according to the operating specifications provided with the unit. CAUTION! Cutting the power optimiser input or output cable connector is prohibited and will void the warranty. CAUTION! All PV panels must be connected to a power optimiser. CAUTION! If you intend to mount the optimisers directly to the panelor panele frame, first consult the panel manufacturer for guidance regarding the mounting location and the impact, if any, on panel warranty. Drilling holes in the panel frame should be done according to the panel manufacturer instructions. Chapter 2: Installing the Power Optimisers     16 EV Charging Single Phase Inverter MAN-01-00629-1.2

Installing a SolarEdge system without ensuring compatibility of the panel

connectors with the optimiser connectors may be unsafe and could cause functionality problems such as ground faults, resulting in inverter shut down. To ensure mechanical compatibility of the power optimisers’ connectors with the PV panel’ connectors to which they are connected: Use identical connectors from the same manufacturer and of the same type on both the power optimisers and on the panels; or Verify that the connectors are compatible in the following way: The panel connector manufacturer should explicitly verify compatibility with the SolarEdge optimiser connector; and A third-party test report by one of the listed external labs (TUV, VDE, Bureau Veritas UL, CSA, InterTek) should be obtained, verifying the compatibility of the connectors. For more information, refer to https://www.solaredge.com/sites/default/files/optimizer-input- connector-compatibility.pdf IMPORTANT SAFETY FEATURE Panel with SolarEdge poweroptimisers are safe. They carry only a low safety voltage before the inverter is turned ON. As long as the power optimisers are not connected to the inverter or the inverter is turned OFF, each power optimiser will output a safe voltage of 1V. Package Contents Power optimisers Stainless steel grounding lock washers Installation Guidelines The minimum and maximum string length guidelines are stated in the power optimiser datasheets. Refer to the Designer for string length verification. The Designer is available on the SolarEdge website at https://www.solaredge.com/products/installer-tools/designer#/. EV Charging Single Phase Inverter MAN-01-00629-1.2 17   Package Contents

Frame-mounted power optimisers are mounted directly on the panel

frame, regardless of racking system (rail-less or with rails). For installation of frame-mounted power optimisers, refer to http://www.solaredge.com/sites/default/files/installing_frame_ mounted_power_optimizers.pdf. The steps in this chapter refer to panel add-on power optimisers. For smart panels, start from Step 2: Connecting Power Optimisers in Strings on page 20 .Also refer to the documentation supplied with the smart panels. The power optimiser can be placed in any orientation. If connecting more panels than optimiser inputs in parallel, use a branch cable. Some commercial power optimiser panels have a dual input. Position the power optimiser close enough to its panel so that their cables can be connected. Make sure to use power optimisers that have the required output conductor length: Do not use extension cables between a panel and a power optimiser, between two panels connected to the same optimiser, or between two optimisers other than in the cases specified below. You can use extension cables between power optimisers only from row to row, around obstacles or pathways within a row, and from the end of the string to the inverter, as long as the maximum distance is not exceeded. NOTE Use at least 11 AWG/ 4 mm² DC cables. The total cable length of the string (excluding power optimisers’ cables) should not exceed 300 m from DC+ to DC- of the inverter. Completely shaded panels may cause their power optimisers to temporarily shut down. This will not affect the performance of the other power optimisers in the string, as long as the minimum number of unshaded power optimisers connected in a string of panels is met. If under typical conditions fewer than the minimum optimisers are connected to unshaded panels, add more optimisers to the string. To allow for heat dissipation, maintain a minimum of 2.5 cm clearance between the power optimiser and other surfaces, on all sides except the mounting bracket side. Chapter 2: Installing the Power Optimisers     18 EV Charging Single Phase Inverter MAN-01-00629-1.2

Figure 3: Power optimiser clearance

When installing panels in a confined space, for example, if installing Building- integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) panels, ventilation measures may be needed to ensure the power optimisers are not be exposed to temperatures outside their specifications. NOTE The images contained herein are for illustrative purposes only and may vary depending on product panels. Step 1: Mounting the Power Optimisers For each of the power optimisers(1):  1. Determine the power optimiser mounting location and use the power optimiser mounting brackets to attach the power optimiser to the support structure . It is recommended to mount the power optimiser in a location protected from direct sunlight. For frame-mounted power optimisers follow the instructions supplied with the optimisers, or refer to https://www.solaredge.com/sites/default/files/installing_frame_ mounted_power_optimizers.pdf.  2. If required, mark the mounting hole locations and drill the hole. (1)Not applicable to smart panels. EV Charging Single Phase Inverter MAN-01-00629-1.2 19   Step 1: Mounting the Power Optimisers

Drilling vibrations may damage the power optimiser and will void the

warranty. Use a torque wrench or an electric drill with adjustable clutch that meets the mounting torque requirements. Do not use impact drivers for mounting the power optimiser. Do not drill through the power optimiser or through the mounting holes.  3. Attach each power optimiser to the rack using M6 (1/4'') stainless steel bolts, nuts and washers or other appropriate mounting hardware. Apply torque of 9-10 N*m / 6.5-7 lb*ft.  4. Verify that each power optimiser is securely attached to the panel support structure.  5. Record power optimiser serial numbers and locations, as described in Reporting and Monitoring Installation Data on page 49. Step 2: Connecting Power Optimisers in Strings You can construct parallel strings of unequal length, that is, the number of power optimisers in each string does not have to be the same. The minimum and maximum string lengths are specified in the power optimiser datasheets. Refer to the Designer for string length verification.  1. Connect the Minus (-) output connector of the string’s first power optimiser to the Plus (+) output connector of the string’s second power optimiser  2. Connect the rest of the power optimisers in the string in the same manner. WARNING! If using a dual-input power optimiser and some inputs are not used, seal the unused input connectors with the supplied pair of seals. Figure 4: Power optimisers connected in series Chapter 2: Installing the Power Optimisers     20 EV Charging Single Phase Inverter MAN-01-00629-1.2

3. If you intend to monitor the installation, using the monitoring platform, record the

physical location of each power optimiser, as described in Creating Logical and Physical Layout using Installation Information on page 50. EV Charging Single Phase Inverter MAN-01-00629-1.2 21   Step 2: Connecting Power Optimisers in Strings

Step 3: Verifying Proper Power Optimiser Connection

When a panel is connected to a power optimiser, the power optimiser outputs a safe voltage of 1V (±0.1V). Therefore, the total string voltage should equal 1V times the number of power optimisers connected in series in the string. For example, if 10 power optimisers are connected in a string, then 10V should be produced. Make sure the PVpanels are exposed to sunlight during this process. The power optimiser will only turn ON if the PV panel provides at least 2W. In SolarEdge systems, due to the introduction of poweroptimisers between the PV panels and the inverter, the short circuit current ISC and the open circuit voltage VOC hold different meanings from those in traditional systems. For more information about the SolarEdge system’s string voltage and current, refer to the VOC and ISC in SolarEdge Systems Technical Note, available on the SolarEdge website at: https://www.solaredge.com/sites/default/files/isc_and_voc_in_solaredge_ sytems_technical_note.pdf To verify proper power optimiser 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. NOTE Since the inverter is not yet operating, you may measure the string voltage and verify correct polarity on the DC wires inside the Connection Unit with Safety Switch. For troubleshooting power optimiser operation problems, refer to Power Optimiser Troubleshooting on page 70. Chapter 2: Installing the Power Optimisers     22 EV Charging Single Phase Inverter MAN-01-00629-1.2

Chapter 3: Installing the Inverter

Connection Unit with Safety Switch Figure 16: Connection Unit AC Terminals Wire type Connect to terminal PE (grounding) GND Line L Neutral N  6. Check that the wires are fully inserted and cannot be pulled out easily.  7. Tighten the AC cable gland with a torque of 2.8-3.3 N*m  8. Verify that there are no unconnected wires to the inverter and that the unused terminal screws are tightened. To connect additional grounding:  1. Repeat steps 1- 3 from the previous procedure.  2. Open the AC cable gland and insert the grounding cable through the AC gland.  3. Strip 8mm of the grounding wire insulation (seeFigure 15). Chapter 4: Connecting the AC and the Strings to the Connection Unit     32 EV Charging Single Phase Inverter MAN-01-00629-1.2

4. Insert the grounding cable to the equipment grounding bus-bar (see Figure 14).

 5. Tighten the bus-bar screw with a torque of: 3.4 N*M EV Charging Single Phase Inverter MAN-01-00629-1.2 33   Chapter 4: Connecting the AC and the Strings to the Connection Unit

Connecting the Strings to the Connection Unit with

Safety Switch You can connect systems with multiple DC strings in parallel to the DC input terminals of the Connection Unit with Safety Switch. Inverters may have a different number of pairs of DC input terminals, depending on the inverter power rating. If more  strings are required, they can be connected in parallel using an external combiner box before connecting to the Connection Unit with Safety Switch. When connecting multiple strings, it is recommended to run separate circuits to the Connection Unit with Safety Switch or to position the combiner box near the Connection Unit with Safety Switch. This simplifies commissioning by allowing testing and servicing near the inverter. NOTE Use 16-6 AWG, 75-90°C copper wires only. To connect the strings to the Connection Unit with Safety Switch:  1. Equipment grounding: Connect the DC equipment ground conductor to the equipment grounding terminal block (bus-bar) in the Connection Unit with Safety Switch.  2. Insert the DC conduit into the DC-side opening on the Connection Unit with Safety Switch (left side at the bottom of the Connection Unit with Safety Switch).  3. Connect the DC wires to the DC+ and DC- terminal blocks, according to the labels on the terminals, connect two wires (DC+ and DC-) per string:  a. Use a standard flat-blade screwdriver to connect the wires to the spring-clamp terminals. The screwdriver blade should fit freely in the terminal opening. Too large a blade can crack the plastic housing.  b. Insert the screwdriver and firmly tilt it to press the release mechanism and open the clamp.  c. Insert the wire into the top opening.  d. Remove the screwdriver – the wire is automatically clamped. CAUTION! Ensure that the Plus (+) wire is connected to the + terminal and that the Minus (-) wire is connected to the Minus (-) terminal connector. Chapter 4: Connecting the AC and the Strings to the Connection Unit     34 EV Charging Single Phase Inverter MAN-01-00629-1.2

SolarEdge's fixed input voltage architecture enables the parallel strings to be of

different lengths. Therefore, they do not need to have the same number of power optimisers, as long as the length of each string is within the permitted range.  4. Close the Connection Unit with Safety Switch cover: Attach the switch cover and secure it by tightening the four screws with a torque of 1.2 N*m/ 0.9 lb*ft.  5. Ensure proper conduit sealing; inspect the entire conduit run and use standard conduit sealants to avoid water penetration.

Power Optimiser Troubleshooting

Problem Possible Cause and Troubleshooting Pairing failed Power optimisers are shaded. If you connected the inverter to the monitoring platform, retry pairing remotely (during sunlight). Make sure to leave the inverter ON/OFF/P switch ON and that S_OK appears in the status screen. String voltage is 0V Power optimiser (s) output is disconnected. Connect all power optimiser outputs. String voltage not 0V but lower than number of optimisers Power optimiser(s) not connected in the string. Connect all power optimisers. Panel(s) not connected properly to power optimiser inputs (not applicable to smart panels). Connect the panels to the optimiser inputs. String reverse polarity. Check string polarity using a voltmeter and correct if needed. Chapter 7: Errors and Troubleshooting     70 EV Charging Single Phase Inverter MAN-01-00629-1.2

Possible Cause and Troubleshooting

String voltage is higher than number of optimisers WARNING! If the measured voltage is too high, the installation may not have a safe low voltage. PROCEED WITH CARE! A deviation of ±1% per string is reasonable. Extra power optimiser(s) connected in the string (not applicable to smart panels). Check if an extra power optimiser is connected in the string. If not – proceed to next solution. A panel is connected directly to the string, without a power optimiser (not applicable to smart panels). Verify that only power optimisers are connected in the string and that no panel outputs are connected without a power optimiser. If the problem persists, proceed to the next step. Power optimiser(s) malfunction.  1. Disconnect the wires connecting the power optimisers in the string.  2. Measure the output voltage of each power optimiser to locate the power optimiser that does not output 1V safety voltage. If a malfunctioning power optimiseris located, check its connections, polarity, panel, and voltage.  3. Contact SolarEdge Support. Do not continue before finding the problem and replacing the malfunctioning power optimiser. If a malfunction cannot be bypassed or resolved, skip the malfunctioning power optimiser, thus connecting a shorter string.

Appendix C: SafeDC™

When AC supply to the inverter is shut off (by shutting off the AC breaker at the site), or when the inverter ON/OFF/P switch is turned to OFF, the DC voltage drops to a safe voltage of per optimiser. The SolarEdge inverters are certified for compliance with the following standards as disconnection devices for PV generators, meaning that they can replace a DC disconnect: IEC 60947-3:1999 + Corrigendum: 1999 + A1:2001 + Corrigendum 1:2001 + A2:2005; DIN EN 60947-3 VDE 0660-107:2006-03 IEC 60364-7-712:2002-05 DIN VDE 0100-712:2006-06. In compliance with these standards, the disconnection mechanism operates as follows:  1. Turn the inverter ON/OFF/P switch, located at the bottom of the inverter, to OFF, or disconnect the AC by shutting off the AC breaker at the site. The DC voltage displayed on the SetApp screen begins to decrease.  2. When the DC voltage reaches a safe voltage, the PV connectors at the input to the inverter can be disconnected. A galvanic separation then exists between the PV array and the inverter. EV Charging Single Phase Inverter MAN-01-00629-1.2 81   Appendix C: SafeDC™
