The SolarEdge Monitoring System
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 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
platform.
If you do not report the physical and logical mapping of the installed power optimizers to SolarEdge, the
SolarEdge 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 SolarEdge monitoring platform 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 Setting Up
Communication to the Monitoring Platform on page 69 .
