What is the minimum clearance between inverter and PV module?

Observe recommended clearances to the inverters or other objects. Minimum Clearance between Inverter and PV Module Bottom Side: For roof mounting, the clearance from the inverter to the bottom side of the PV module must be at least 30 mm (1.2 in). This will prevent the grounding bolt from damaging the PV module.

How to install a PV inverter?

step 1: Rotate all the DC switches to "OFF" position. step 2: Check the cable connection of the PV string for polarity correctness and ensure that the open circuit voltage in any case does not exceed the inverter input limit of 1,100V. step 3: Connect the PV connectors to corresponding terminals until there is an audible click.

Where should a PV inverter be mounted?

When mounting on the framework, the mounting position should preferably be in the center of the PV module. This will ensure a longer electrical endurance of the inverter. Greater distances between two inverters can be bridged using an additional cable and two AC field plugs ( > Assembling the AC Field Plug).

How to install PV connectors?

4.5.2 Installing the PV Connectors. step 1: Rotate all the DC switches to "OFF" position. step 2: Check the cable connection of the PV string for polarity correctness and ensure that the open circuit voltage in any case does not exceed the inverter input limit of 1,100V.

Can a SolarEdge inverter be installed outside?

SolarEdge inverters can be installed indoors or outdoors, side by side, one above the other, or in a diagonal layout. To allow proper heat dissipation and prevent power reduction due to excessive temperature, ensure sufficient air circulation and maintain minimum clearance areas between the inverter and other objects, as described in this document.

How to maintain the performance of an inverter?

To minimize damage and maintain optimal inverter performance: It is recommended to keep the inverter shaded and out of direct sunlight to prevent overheating. Overheating causes a reduction in power output, premature wear of electrical components, and faster degradation of mechanical components which degrades the lifespan.
