Kit Contents Rapid shutdown cables Micro-SD card and SD card adapter with firmware files (Note: DO NOT THROW AWAY THE CARD AND THE ADAPTER; keep them for installation of other rapid shutdown kits) Cable Installation Perform this procedure before connecting the strings to the Safety Switch [Chapter 4: Connecting the AC and the Strings to the Safety Switch in the SolarEdge Installation Guide]. 1 Turn the inverter ON/OFF switch to OFF. If installing the kit in an inverter that is already operating, wait until the LCD indicates that the DC voltage is safe (<50V), or wait five minutes before continuing to the next step. 2 Turn the Safety Switch and the AC switch on the main circuit board to OFF. WARNING! If you cannot see the inverter panel, or if a malfunction is indicated on the LCD panel, wait five minutes for the input capacitors of the inverter to discharge. 3 Loosen the four Allen screws on the front cover of the Safety Switch, and open the cover. 4 Carefully disconnect the two DC cables from the left side of the switch and from the DC connection spring clamp terminals, as illustrated below1. Use a standard straight-bladed screwdriver to disconnect the cables from the terminals. Figure 1: Inside the AC/DC Safety Switch 1 The internal components may vary depending on the Safety Switch model; the figures in this documents show the AC/DC Safety Switch for single phase 7.6-11.4 kW inverters. DC connection terminals Disconnect here Disconnect here Switch terminal block Rapid Shutdown Kit - Installation and Configuration (Single Phase Inverters) Rapid Shutdown Kit Installation - MAN-01-00186-1.6 2 5 The rapid shutdown cables have a resistor connected to one end (on the red cable). Connect these ends to the switch, making sure that the red and black cables are reversed relative to the cables connected at the top of the switch (going into the DC side conduit between the inverter and the Safety Switch), as detailed below. Apply a torque of 2 N*m (18 lb*in): If the cables at the top are red and black from left to right, connect as shown below. Figure 2: Rapid shutdown cable connected option 1 If the cables at the top are black and red from left to right, connect as shown below. Figure 3: Rapid shutdown cable connected option 2 6 Use a standard straight-bladed screwdriver to connect the other end of the rapid shutdown cables to the DC connection spring-clamp terminals: Connect the black cable from the switch to the DC- terminal block, and connect the red cable from the switch to the DC+ terminal block. 7 Check that the cables are located and connected in the correct positions to ensure the rapid shutdown functionality. 8 Close the cover: Attach the switch cover and secure it by tightening the four screws with a torque of 0.9 ft.*lb / 1.2 N*m.

Those systems with unique characteristics may be handled with small additions to this Expedited Permit Process or may require much more information, depending on the uniqueness of the installation. The following pages contain forms for the Standard String System to use with the Expe- dited Permit Process. The Micro-Inverter, AC Module, and Supply-Side Connection forms are also available as interactive PDF files at www.solarabcs.org/permitting. In jurisdic- tions that have adopted the Expedited Permit Process for PV Systems, these forms can be filled out electronically and submitted in either printed form and via email. An elec- tronic format is used so that the supplied information is standardized and legible for the local jurisdiction. 2017 W Meriday Ln 03/28/23 Expedited Permit Process for PV Systems2 Expedited Permit Process for Small-Scale PV Systems Standard String System The information in this guideline is intended to help local jurisdictions and contractors identify when PV system installations are simple, needing only a basic review, and when an installation is more complex. It is likely that 50%-75% of all residential systems will comply with these simple criteria. For projects that fail to meet the simple criteria, resolution steps have been suggested to provide as a path to permit approval. Required Information for Permit: 1. Site plan showing location of major components on the property. This drawing need not be exactly to scale, but it should represent relative location of components at site (see supplied example site plan). PV arrays on dwellings with a 3’ perimeter space at ridge and sides may not need separate ﬁre service review. 2. Electrical diagram showing PV array conﬁguration, wiring system, overcurrent protection, inverter, disconnects, required signs, and ac connection to building (see supplied standard electrical diagram). 3. Speciﬁcation sheets and installation manuals (if available) for all manufactured components including, but not limited to, PV modules, inverter(s), combiner box, disconnects, and mounting system. Step 1: Structural Review of PV Array Mounting System Is the array to be mounted on a deﬁned, permitted roof structure? l Yes l No If No due to non-compliant roof or a ground mount, submit completed worksheet for the structure WKS1. Roof Information: 1. Is the rooﬁng type lightweight (Yes = composition, lightweight masonry, metal, etc…)__________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ If No, submit completed worksheet for roof structure WKS1 (No = heavy masonry, slate, etc…). 2. Does the roof have a single roof covering? l Yes l No If No, submit completed worksheet for roof structure WKS1. 3. Provide method and type of weatherprooﬁng roof penetrations (e.g. ﬂashing, caulk).____________________________ Mounting System Information: 1. Is the mounting structure an engineered product designed to mount PV modules with no more than an 18” gap beneath the module frames? l Yes l No If No, provide details of structural attachment certiﬁed by a design professional. 2. For manufactured mounting systems, ﬁll out information on the mounting system below: a. Mounting System Manufacturer ___________Product Name and Model#________________________________ b. Total Weight of PV Modules and Rails ___________lbs c. Total Number of Attachment Points____________ d. Weight per Attachment Point (b÷c)_________________lbs (if greater than 45 lbs, see WKS1) e. Maximum Spacing Between Attachment Points on a Rail ______________inches (see product manual for maximum spacing allowed based on maximum design wind speed) f. Total Surface Area of PV Modules (square feet)_________________ ft 2 g. Distributed Weight of PV Module on Roof (b÷f)_______________ lbs/ft2 If distributed weight of the PV system is greater than 5 lbs/ft2, see WKS1. Step 2: Electrical Review of PV System (Calculations for Electrical Diagram) In order for a PV system to be considered for an expedited permit process, the following must apply: 1. PV modules, utility-interactive inverters, and combiner boxes are identiﬁed for use in PV systems. 2. The PV array is composed of 4 series strings or less per inverter. 3. The total inverter capacity has a continuous ac power output 13,440 Watts or less 4. The ac interconnection point is on the load side of service disconnecting means (690.64(B)). 5. One of the standard electrical diagrams (E1.1, E1.1a, E1.1b, or E1.1c) can be used to accurately represent the PV system. Interactive PDF diagrams are available at www.solarabcs.org/permitting. Fill out the standard electrical diagram completely. A guide to the electrical diagram is provided to help the applicant understand each blank to ﬁll in. If the electrical system is more complex than the standard electrical diagram can effectively communicate, provide an alternative diagram with appropriate detail. 2017 W Meriday Ln 03/28/23 Ex p e d i t e d P e r m i t P r o c e s s f o r P V S y s t e m s 3 Standard String System Site Plan                                                          Better Earth 1815 E WIlshire Ave MARIA QUEZADA Santa Ana, 92705 2017 MERIDAY LN 7600 2017 W Meriday Ln 03/28/23 Ex p e d i t e d P e r m i t P r o c e s s f o r P V S y s t e m s 4 Standard String System Electrical Diagram                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Better Earth 1815 E WIlshire Ave MARIA QUEZADA Santa Ana, 92705 2017 MERIDAY LN 7600 2017 W Meriday Ln 03/28/23 Ex p e d i t e d P e r m i t P r o c e s s f o r P V S y s t e m s 5 Notes for Standard String System Electrical Diagram Contractor Name, Address and Phone: _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ Notes for One-Line Standard Electrical Diagram for Single-Phase PV Systems Site Name: __________________________ Site Address: ________________________ System AC Size: ______________________ SIZE FSCM NO DWG NO REV SCALE NTS Date: SHEET Drawn By: Checked By: MAX POWER-POINT CURRENT (IMP) MAX POWER-POINT VOLTAGE (VMP) OPEN-CIRCUIT VOLTAGE (VOC) SHORT-CIRCUIT CURRENT (ISC) MAX SERIES FUSE (OCPD) MAXIMUM POWER (PMAX) MAX VOLTAGE (TYP 600VDC) VOC TEMP COEFF (mV/oC or %/oC ) IF COEFF SUPPLIED, CIRCLE UNITS A V V A A W V MODULE MAKE MODULE MODEL PV MODULE RATINGS @ STC (Guide Section 5) MAX DC VOLT RATING MAX POWER @ 40oC NOMINAL AC VOLTAGE MAX AC CURRENT MAX OCPD RATING V W V A A INVERTER MAKE INVERTER MODEL INVERTER RATINGS (Guide Section 4) 1) IF UTILITY REQUIRES A VISIBLE-BREAK SWITCH, DOES THIS SWITCH MEET THE REQUIREMENT?
