SolarEdge Inverter: New System Setup Guide

This step-by-step guide will help you safely turn on your solar energy system equipped with SolarEdge inverters.

Step 1: Turn on the PV breaker in your main service panel

• Locate your main service panel (also known as the breaker panel).
• Find the breaker labeled PV Source Breakers or Solar Backfeed.
• Flip this breaker to the ON position.

Step 2: Flip on the safety disconnect switch

• Find the safety disconnect switch located near your main panel or inverter.
• This will be a simple ON/OFF lever.
• Flip the switch to the ON position.
• A light will turn on to confirm power is flowing.

Step 3: Turn on the load center breakers (two inverters only)

Only complete this step if your system has two inverters. If you only have one inverter, skip this step.

• Follow the metal conduit to your inverters.
• If you see a load center (small breaker box), open it.
• Flip both breakers ON. Each one connects to a separate inverter.

Step 4: Power on the inverter(s)

• Flip the power switch on each SolarEdge inverter to the ON position.
• Verify that the red DIP switch on each inverter is positioned straight up and down.

Step 5: Wait for the system to start

• Wait approximately 5 minutes after turning on all switches.
• Your SolarEdge system should begin producing power automatically.
