How to connect a GSD to a SolarEdge Inverter

Installing a GSD (Generation Signalling Device) on an SolarEdge inverter system to meet the new Queensland Emergency Backstop requirements is simple 3 step process:

 

1- Mount the GSD in a suitable location – i.e. within the MSB or the switchboard containing the protective device for inverter supply.
If using a network protection AC Board (supplied by AC Solar Warehouse) this can be pre-wired with a GSD on request.

 

2- Connect AC power to the GSD by wiring it directly to the Main Switch Inverter Supply.

 

3- Connect the GSD control cable to the SolarEdge inverter’s PRI (power reduction interface) port on connector pins 5 and 6 via the RJ45 adapter that is supplied with the GSD.

 

SolarEdge has released an App Note providing detailed instructions on connecting a GSD to SolarEdge systems . Check out the guide here.

 

You can also reference our recently published article on the Queensland GSD requirements for more details.
