Step 3: Verifying Proper Activation and Commissioning

Step 3: Verifying Proper Activation and
Commissioning
1. Select Information and verify that the correct firmware versions are installed on each inverter.
2. Select Status and verify that inverter is operating and producing power (see also Viewing System
Status on page 46).
3. Verify that the number of paired optimizers is the same as the number of physically installed power
optimizers.
4. Verify that additional configurations were properly set by viewing the relevant Status screens.
5. Verify that the green inverter LED is steadily lit.
Your SolarEdge power harvesting system is now operational.

Reporting and Monitoring Installation Data

NOTE
This step requires connecting one of the communication options. Refer to Setting Up
Communication on page 52.

The SolarEdge Monitoring System

The SolarEdge cloud-based monitoring platform e nables accessing SolarEdge site
information, including up-to-date information viewed in a physical or logical view. The
monitoring platform is described in detail in the SolarEdge Monitoring Platform User
Guide, available on the SolarEdge website at
http://www.solaredge.com/files/pdfs/solaredge-monitoring-platform-user-guide.pdf.
The SolarEdge monitoring platform can display logical and physical layouts of the
installed system, as follows:
Logical Layout: Shows a schematic logical layout of the components in the system, such as: inverters,
l
strings and modules, as well as their electrical connectivity. This view enables you to see which
modules are connected in each string, which strings are connected to each inverter, and so on.
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.
