l Energy:Thetotalenergyreadbythemeter.Thevaluedisplayedinthislinedependsonthemetertype
connectedtotheinverteranditslocation:

o
Ifabidirectionalmeterisconnectedattheconsumptionpoint,thisvalueistheconsumedenergy.

o
Ifthemeterisinstalledattheproductionconnectionpoint,thisvalueistheenergyproducedby
thesite.

o
Ifthemeterisinstalledatthegridconnectionpoint,thisvalueistheenergyexportedtothegrid.

Reporting and Monitoring Installation Data
NOTE
Monitoring the site requires connecting the inverter to the monitoring platform, using any of the wired or
wireless options available from SolarEdge. Refer to Setting Up Communication on page 51.
The Monitoring Platform
ThemonitoringplatformprovidesenhancedPVperformancemonitoringandyieldassurancethrough
immediatefaultdetectionandalertsatthemodule,stringandsystemlevel.
Usingtheplatform,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.
Themonitoringplatformenablesaccessingsiteinformation,includingup-to-dateinformationviewedina
physicalorlogicalview:
l Logical Layout:Showsaschematictree-layoutofthecomponentsinthesystem,suchas:inverters,
strings,modules,metersandsensors,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.
l Physical Layout:Providesabird'seyeviewoftheactualplacementofmodulesinthesite,andallows
pinpointissuestotheexactlocationofeachmoduleonavirtualsitemap.
Ifyoudonotreportthemappingoftheinstalledpoweroptimizers,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monitoringplatformincludesabuilt-inhelpsystem,thatguidesyouthroughthe
monitoringfunctionality.

Creating Logical and Physical Layout using
Installation Information
Todisplayalogicallayout,inserttheinverterserialnumberinthenewsitecreatedinthemonitoring
platform.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mapthe
locations,useoneofthemethodsdescribedinthenextsections.
