The site mapper allows SolarEdge installers to streamline the registration of a new system by mapping its physical layout in the SolarEdge cloud-based monitoring platform. This application is integrated with the SolarEdge monitoring platform and enables the following functionality: • Simple onsite registration of new systems. • Creation, editing and on-site verification of system physical layout. • Scanning and assigning SolarEdge power optimizer serial number to the right location in the system physical layout. • The scanning can be done by utilizing the mobile device’s integrated camera or with an external Bluetooth connected scanner. • Working off-line with no data connection. The data is stored locally on the mobile device and allows data synchronization with the SolarEdge monitoring platform when data connection is available.

With SenseraAlign, positioning your solar panel has never been easier. Simply place your device on the solar panel bracket and follow the onscreen instructions to best orient your solar panel. The Calibrate page helps with calibrating your compass sensors. The Direction page helps with pointing the solar panel in the optimal direction. The Angle page helps with tilting the solar panel at the correct angle for how many times the solar panel will be adjusted throughout the year. The different settings include: - 0-1 adjustments per year (Low efficiency) - 2 adjustments per year (adjusting every 6 months / Medium efficiency) - 4 adjustments per year (adjusting every 3 months / High efficiency) All calculations are based on location so enabling location permissions is highly necessary.
