SolarEdge Combiner Box Use Cases (Optional)
With the Combiner Box
If three SolarEdge Home Batteries are to be connected, connect the DC cables from the battery/batteries
and the Power Optimisers to the Combiner Box. Then, connect the cables from the Combiner Box to the
DC terminals inside the inverter's Connection Unit
Without the Combiner Box
When one or two SolarEdge Home Batteries are to be connected, the DC cables from the battery and
Power Optimisers can connect directly to the DC terminals inside the inverter's Connection Unit. In this
case, the DC supplies from the battery/batteries and Power Optimisers must be combined because the
inverter has a single DC input.
Power Optimisers - If there are two or more PV arrays, combine their DC cables into a single home run
cable.
SolarEdge Home Batteries - When installing two SolarEdge Home Batteries, use branch connectors
(available from Solahart).

13
As the inverter's Connection Unit has a single DC input, crimp together the DC cable from the Power
Optimisers along with the batteries into one bootlace ferrule, terminating within the DC port of the
inverter.
Backup interface (only available for Energy Hub inverters)
Read this before installing or operating the Backup Interface. Failure to do so or to follow any of the
instructions or warnings in this document can result in electrical shock, serious injury, or death, or may
damage the Backup Interface and other property.
Before operating the Backup Interface and inverter, ensure that they are properly grounded. The Backup
Interface and inverter must be connected to a grounded, metal, permanent wiring system, or an
equipment-grounding conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and connected to the equipment
grounding terminal or lead.
