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 by using a SolarEdge
ZigBee Home Gateway system or a SolarEdge Cellular Modem. 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 SolarEdge cloud-based monitoring
platform (monitoring platform).
Site Mapper Application
Android
Use the SolarEdge Site Mapper smart-phone application t o scan the power optimizer and inverter 2D bar-
codes, and map the system physical layout in the SolarEdge monitoring platform.This application is
integrated with the SolarEdge 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.
For detailed information, refer to the SolarEdge Site Mapper demo movies:
Creating new sites using the SolarEdge Site Mapper mobile application
l
Mapping power optimizers using the SolarEdge Site Mapper mobile application
l
iPhone
Use the SolarEdge Site Mapper smartphone application to scan the power optimizer and inverter 2D bar-
codes. This application creates an XML file that can be uploaded to the SolarEdge monitoring platform
during site registration. The SolarEdge Site Mapper can be downloaded from the application stores.
For detailed information, refer to the SolarEdge Site Mapper Software Guide or to the Site
Mapper demo movie, available on the SolarEdge website at
