Using the portal, you can:
l
View the latest performance of specific components.
l
Find under-performing components, such as modules, by comparing their performance to that of
other components of the same type.
l
Pinpoint the location of alerted components using the physical layout.
l
See how components are connected to each other.
l
Pair power optimizers remotely.
To display a logical layout, insert the inverter serial number in the new site created in the application.
When the communication between the inverter and the monitoring server is established, the logical
layout is displayed.
To display a physical layout, you need to map the locations of the installed power optimizers. To generate
a physical mapping, use either the Site Mapper application or a mapping template, which should be filled
out using the detachable stickers (see
Providing Installation Information
, below).
The logical and physical mapping can be used for debugging a problem using the SolarEdge monitoring
portal.
If you do not report the physical and logical mapping of the installed power optimizers to SolarEdge, the
SolarEdge monitoring portal will show the logical layout indicating which power optimizers are
connected to which inverter, but will not show strings or the physical location of power optimizers.
The inverter may be connected to the SolarEdge monitoring portal via LAN or via an external modem
connected to the inverter's RS232 connector. Alternatively, you can connect the inverter to another
inverter that is already connected to the server, in a master-slave configuration. Refer to
Communication to the Monitoring Portal
Providing Installation Information
Use one of the following methods to connect your PV system to the SolarEdge cloud-based monitoring
platform (monitoring portal).
Site Mapper Application
Android
Use the SolarEdge Site Mapper smart-phone application to scan the power optimizer and inverter 2D
bar-codes, and map the system physical layout in the SolarEdge monitoring portal.This application is
integrated with the SolarEdge monitoring portal and enables:
l
Simple on-site registration of new systems.
l
Creating, editing and verifying system physical layout.
l
Scanning and assigning the power optimizer serial number to the correct location in the system
physical layout.
