NOTE
This step requires connecting one of the communication options. Refer to Setting Up
Communication on page 55.
The SolarEdge Monitoring System
The SolarEdge monitoring portal enables accessing SolarEdge site information, including upto-date
information viewed in a physical or logical view.The monitoring portal is described in
detail in the SolarEdge Monitoring Portal User Guide, available on the SolarEdge website at
http://www.solaredge.com/files/pdfs/solaredge-monitoring-portal-user-guide.pdf. The
SolarEdge monitoring portal 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, 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: 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 portal, you can:
• View the latest performance of specific components.
• Find under-performing components, such as modules, by comparing their performance
to that of other components of the same type.
• Pinpoint the location of alerted components using the physical layout.
• See how components are connected to each other.
• 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.
