@contactmike1: While I want to do so, since data to SolarEdge was turned on again I've not had the time to start mapping my system (I have 32 panels). Unfortunately I wasn't able to get a copy of the installers' map. (I don't even remember seeing one while monitoring the install.) My plan was to just create the map by blocking one panel at a time, watching which panel on the SolarEdge string went down, then assigning the S/N to that panel. I'm hoping I'll have time to do this around the end of the year (when I hope to be finished with my garage construction). BTW, really impressed with your system. I was only able to afford the 32 panels with one PowerWall. I now wish I'd installed a 2nd PowerWall.
As to why Tesla isn't providing the panel-detail data to SolarEdge, I wonder if it's because they don't want to be inundated with calls from customers complaining that one panel's output is "unexplainably" lower than others?
Just to give you guys an update on SolarEdge:
Requested solar edge access March 1st. It took 3 weeks and multiple follow up phone calls, but I finally got access today. After checking the access and complaining to Tesla that I don't have proper access, Tesla has given me the run-around on the physical layout, mapper access, and API key. Next, I called solar edge, they just gave me an API key over the telephone. However, for the physical layout, I got a very unexpected answer and hadn't seen this on the forum anywhere. Solar Edge claims ALL installers have access to systems, and I can simply call any solar installer who does solar edge inverters, give them the layout information, and they can input it on my account. I'm sure they will charge $$$ for it, but hey, if this works, it's a good workaround for folks who want the physical layout access without having to become their own installer and moving the install off Tesla's account first. I'm checking to see if any installers will actually do this. I'll see what they say, and if they would also have to move the install away from Tesla's account to do it, or what the deal is. But it's the first time I heard this answer.
I'm going to give it go. As for Tesla, I still haven't paid yet and haven't threatened anything about withholding payment. Tesla is so big, I'm not sure if trying to hold up the payment would give any leverage or not. Trying the easier road first.
Tip for anyone who has a future install.
You must remember to get a copy of the installer's layout map and all the inverter QR codes before they leave! If you forget this step, there's very few viable options for getting a physical layout input into solar edge. The install guys think you are crazy when you ask for it, but just make a copy of it or take photos with your phone. They were happy to let me do so, although they couldn't understand why I'd possibly want that information.
