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.
