SolarEdge GO — Fleet & Site Management

ACTIVE WORKFLOW

SolarEdge GO fleet management gives Wadadli Solar visibility across all active SolarEdge sites from a single dashboard. This is used for daily monitoring, proactive alert response, client reporting, and pre-visit preparation.

Fleet Dashboard Overview

The GO fleet dashboard provides a real-time view of all sites under your installer account.

What you see: - All registered sites with current status - Active alert count and severity summary - Sites with communication issues - Sites currently underproducing relative to expected output - Recent events (new alerts, cleared faults, etc.)

Daily use pattern for Wadadli Solar: 1. Open GO each morning → check fleet dashboard 2. Review any new alerts from overnight 3. Identify any sites with communication failures (data gap > 12 hours) 4. Prioritize and act on any red/critical alerts before field day starts

Site Management

Accessing a Site

  1. GO → Sites → search or scroll to site
  2. Site overview shows:
  3. Current production (kW)
  4. Today's energy (kWh)
  5. Lifetime energy
  6. Last communication timestamp
  7. Active alerts (if any)
  8. System status indicator

Site Status Indicators

Status Meaning Action
Producing System operating normally No action needed
Error Active fault detected Review alert detail
Communication Issue No data for extended period Check communication path
Standby Night / low irradiance Normal — check again during daylight
Partial Production Below expected output Investigate string or optimizer issue

Alert Management

Alert Severity Levels

Level Color Meaning
Critical Red System offline or safety fault (arc, GFDI) — immediate attention
High Orange Significant production impact — address this week
Medium Yellow Minor production impact or communication issue — monitor and schedule
Low / Informational Blue/Gray Status notification — review but may not require action

Alert Workflow

For each active alert:

  1. Review alert detail — GO shows the alert code, description, timestamp, and affected equipment
  2. Check context — Is this a new fault or a recurring one? Is production affected?
  3. Remote diagnosis — Use GO diagnostics to check system state without a site visit (see GO Diagnostics)
  4. Decide: resolve remotely, schedule a visit, or flag for client communication
  5. Resolve or defer — Mark alert as reviewed; document resolution action

Alert Types Commonly Seen in Fleet

Alert Likely Meaning First Remote Check
Communication failure Inverter not reaching cloud Is site Wi-Fi/router OK? Has client changed network?
Optimizer not reporting Single module offline Is production otherwise normal? Or whole string down?
AFCI (Arc Fault) DC arc detected System offline — requires physical visit
GFDI (Ground Fault) Ground fault System offline — requires physical visit
Grid voltage fault Utility fluctuation Check if self-resolved; contact utility if persistent
Over-temperature Inverter heat management Check if mid-day peak or persistent

Arc and Ground Faults Cannot Be Resolved Remotely

AFCI and GFDI faults require physical inspection before resetting. Never remotely reset these faults without understanding the cause. Flag for immediate scheduling.

Site Performance Monitoring

Expected vs. Actual Production

GO compares site production against expected output based on: - System size - Weather data - Historical performance baseline

Underperformance flags appear when actual production drops significantly below modeled output. Causes can include: - Soiling (gradual degradation) - New shading (tree growth, new structure) - Equipment failure (string or optimizer offline) - Communication issue hiding real production data

When a site flags underperformance: 1. Check if the issue is real production loss or just a data/communication gap 2. If real production loss: check string and optimizer status 3. Schedule thermal inspection if cause is unclear

Reviewing Historical Production

  1. GO → Site → Reports or Analytics
  2. View production over custom date ranges
  3. Compare against same period prior year
  4. Export data for client reporting if needed

Remote Site Configuration

Certain settings can be adjusted remotely via GO on compatible inverter firmware:

  • Export limits (if originally set and client/utility permits changes)
  • Communication settings (Wi-Fi network update)
  • Alert notification preferences

Firmware Dependency

Remote configuration requires the inverter to be on recent compatible firmware. Older inverters may require a local Bluetooth connection for configuration changes. Check GO to confirm what remote access is available for a specific site.

Multi-Site Reporting

For clients with multiple sites under Wadadli Solar management:

  1. GO → Reports
  2. Select sites to include
  3. Choose report type:
  4. Production summary
  5. System health overview
  6. Alert history
  7. Export as PDF or CSV for client delivery

Pre-Visit Site Review

Before any scheduled site visit, open GO and review:

  • [ ] Current alert status — any active faults?
  • [ ] Last 7 days production trend — gradual decline or sudden drop?
  • [ ] Communication history — any gaps?
  • [ ] Optimizer status — any showing offline?
  • [ ] Most recent event log entries (visible in GO site view)

This pre-visit review takes 2–3 minutes and ensures you arrive on-site with context, not just a work order.
