Providing Installation Information

Physical Layout: Shows a schematic physical layout of the components in the system, such as:
l
inverters, strings and modules, as well as their electrical connectivity. This view enables a bird's eye
view of the actual location of a system component.
Using the platform, you can:
View the latest performance of specific components.
l
Find under-performing components, such as modules, by comparing their performance to that of
l
other components of the same type.
Pinpoint the location of alerted components using the physical layout.
l
See how components are connected to each other.
l
Pair power optimizers remotely.
l
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 the physical layout editor in the monitoring
platform.
The logical and physical mapping can be used for debugging a problem using the m onitoring platform.
If you do not report the physical and logical mapping of the installed power optimizers to SolarEdge, the
monitoring platform 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 m onitoring platform via LAN or by using a Z igBee Gateway system
or a C ellular Plug-in. Alternatively, you can use RS485 chain (bus) connection to connect m ultiple
SolarEdge devices to one inverter that is already connected to the server, in a master/slave configuration.
Refer to Setting Up Communication on page 52 .
Providing Installation Information
Use one of the following methods to connect your PV system to the monitoring platform.

Mapper Application

Android
Use the Mapper smart-phone application t o scan the power optimizer and inverter 2D bar-codes, and
map the system physical layout in the m onitoring platform.This application is integrated with the
monitoring platform and enables:
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
l
physical layout.
