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SettingUp
CommunicationtotheMonitoringPortalonpage71.

filetotheSolarEdgemonitoringportalduringsiteregistration.Foranexamplepapertemplate,referto
http://www.solaredge.us/files/pdfs/physical-layout-template.pdf.
Site Mapper
UsetheSolarEdgeSiteMappersmartphoneapplicationtoscanthepoweroptimizerandinverter2D
barcodes.TheapplicationcreatesanXMLfilethatcanbeuploadedtotheSolarEdgemonitoringportal
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http://www.solaredge.us/groups/installer-tools/site-
