The SolarEdge Key is a service tool that enables SolarEdge power optimizers with independent optimization technology (IndOP™) to work with third-party inverters without installation of an additional interface.
To ensure safe voltage during installation, all power optimizers are provided with the SafeDC™ feature enabled. When connected to a PV module, these power optimizers output a safe voltage of 1VDC until they are paired either with a SolarEdge inverter, or with the SolarEdge Safety & Monitoring Interface, and until power production has started.
When connecting PV strings with power optimizers directly to a third-party inverter without a Safety and Monitoring Interface, SafeDC must be disabled by the SolarEdge Key before connecting the string to the inverter.
Key Benefits:
- Fast, one time commissioning per string
- Can be used to enable safety voltage for the power optimizers during maintenance or other instances when DC safety on the roof is desired
- A portable and rugged handheld tool
- Can be used in multiple installations
