Photovoltaic Rapid Shutdown System Requirements
WARNING!
THIS PHOTOVOLTAIC RAPID SHUTDOWN SYSTEM (PVRSS) INCORPORATES
ONE OR MORE PIECES OF EQUIPMENT THAT EXERCISE THE RAPID SHUTDOWN
CONTROL OF PV SYSTEM CONDUCTORS REQUIRED BY SECTION 690.12 OF THE
NEC (NFPA 70). OTHER EQUIPMENT INSTALLED IN OR ON THIS PV SYSTEM
MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT THE OPERATION OF THIS PVRSS. IT IS THE
RESPONSIBILITY OF THE INSTALLER TO ENSURE THAT THE COMPLETED PV
SYSTEM MEETS THE APPLICABLE RAPID SHUT DOWN FUNCTIONAL
REQUIREMENTS. THIS EQUIPMENT MUST BE INSTALLED ACCORDING TO THE
MANUFACTURER’S INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS.
SolarEdge inverters and power optimizers installed together form a photovoltaic
rapid shutdown system (PVRSS). All inputs and outputs of the inverter and power
optimizers comply with photovoltaic rapid shutdown requirements for controlled
conductors both inside and outside the array boundary. To form a PV rapid
shutdown system, no more than 30 power optimizers should be installed in series.
Each power optimizer will output around 1 Vdc when rapid shutdown is initiated.
Rapid shutdown time limit is 30 Sec.
This SolarEdge system is compatible with the Grid support interactive compatible
functionality.
All DC and AC conductors served by the power optimizers and inverters are
controlled by the photovoltaic rapid shutdown system. The AC branch circuit
conductors serving the inverter may remain energized until the AC service panel is
de-energized. Installers must provide signage complying with Section 690.56(C) of
the NEC (NFPA 70).
Buildings with rapid shutdown PV systems, complying with NEC 690.56(C), shall
have permanent labels as described in 690.56(C)(1) through (C)(2):
(1)(a) For PV systems that shut down the array and conductors leaving the array:
The title "SOLAR PV SYSTEM EQUIPPED WITH RAPID SHUTDOWN" shall
utilize capitalized characters with a minimum height of 3/8 in. in black on yellow
background, and the remaining characters shall be capitalized with a minimum
height of 3/16 in. in black on white background.

Chapter 1: Overview
The single phase Energy Hub inverter with prism technology is SolarEdge's all-in-one
solution that uses a single phase DC optimized inverter to manage and monitor solar
power generation, energy storage, EV charging and smart energy devices. When
installed with a battery and the Backup Interface, homeowners are automatically
provided with backup power in the event of grid interruption to power home loads. In
addition, solar energy can be stored in a battery for Smart Energy Management
applications such as export control, offering demand response and peak shaving, and
performing time of use shifting for reduced electric bills.
StorEdge Solution Components
Energy Hub inverter - manages battery and system energy, in addition to its
traditional functionality as a DC-optimized PV inverter.
The Safety Unit, located at the bottom of the inverter, allows simple installation and
connectivity to other system components and includes a DC Safety Switch.
One or multiple batteries (optional) - DC-coupled batteries designed to work with
the SolarEdge system. The batteries can be connected to the system optionally.

18 Chapter 2: Installing the Power Optimizers

 ATTENTION!
 Tous les modules doivent être connectés à un optimiseur de puissance.
CAUTION!
If you intend to mount the Power Optimizers directly to the panel or panel
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.
 ATTENTION!

Pour installation à même le module ou la monture du module, consultez
d'abord le fabricant du module sur la position et son impact sur la garantie du
module. Le perçage de trous dans le cadre du module devra se faire suivant les
instructions du fabricant.


CAUTION!
Installing a SolarEdge system without ensuring compatibility of the panel
connectors with the Power Optimizer connectors may be unsafe and could cause
functionality problems such as ground faults, resulting in inverter shut down. To
ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility of the Power Optimizer
connectors with the PV panel connectors to which they are connected:
Use identical connectors from the same manufacturer and of the same type
on the Power Optimizers, panels and the inverter DCinput; or
Verify that the connectors are compatible in the following way:
The panel connector manufacturer should explicitly verify compatibility
with the Power Optimizer connectors and the Inverter DC input
connectors.
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.
