Post Installation Verification and Configuration
Follow the checklist below to verify that the system is properly connected and configured. The checklist is suitable for a backup system with a single StorEdge Inverter, a
single battery, and a single SolarEdge Modbus Meter installed at the grid connection point.
For other system configurations, follow the steps in the StorEdge Installation Guide supplied with the StorEdge Inverter.
