Appendix C – Verifying StorEdge Functionality

After system installation and configuration is completed, verify that the system is properly operating:

► To verify the meter:

1 Make sure other power sources (e.g. non-SolarEdge PV inverter) are not producing power.

2 Verify the AC is ON.

3 Check the meter (installed in export or consumption position, CT arrows point to the grid):

4 Turn the inverter ON/OFF switch to OFF.

5 Connect loads on one of the measured phases.

6 Press the external LCD light button to display the Import or Consumption meter status screen, and check that the import or

consumption power is greater than zero:

7 Press the LCD light button to display the Export meter status screen, and check that the Export power is equal to zero.

If it is not equal to zero check the CT direction on all connected phases.

► To verify Maximize Self-consumption:

1 Verify the inverter ON/OFF switch is ON.

2 Turn on as many loads as needed so that consumption will be greater than the inverter’s maximum AC power. In the

inverter LCD check that the Meter status screen is displaying import power greater than zero.

3 Press the inverter LCD light button to display the Smart Energy Management and the Battery status screens, and check that:

 State = Discharging (assuming consumption > PV production, inverter maximum AC power > PV production)

 PWR > 0

► To verify battery charging:

1 While the PV modules are exposed to sunlight, verify that the battery is charging properly:

2 Minimize consumption by turning off all the load circuit breakers, except for the inverter.

3 In the inverter LCD check that the Meter status screen is displaying import power close to zero.

4 Press the external LCD light button to display the Battery status screen, and check that:

 State = Charging

 SOE percentage is increasing

 PWR > 0
