Add unconfigured modules to existing inverter configurations

[haydn]

Hello,

I was editing the 'module allocations' (string layouts) of a few inverters & managed to accidentally remove some modules from their inverters. I think I clicked 'manual selection' which somehow unassigned them from their inverters. 

I have tried to find a way to reassign them to their inverters without deleting the entire string layout, as it has taken a long time to get this far. Could you please advise how I can reassign them? If I click configure I can only manage to assign them to a new inverter.

Thanks,

Haydn

Dear haydn,

Thank you for your inquiry.

Unfortunately, it is not possible to add unconfigured modules to existing inverter configurations. It should also not be possible to accidentally remove some modules from their inverters, as you can only exit the inverter configuration window once you have configured all modules in the selected module areas.

If the unconfigured modules belong to a separate module area, you must first select ‘Configure module areas together’. In this way, you cannot forget any modules. Unfortunately, it is not possible to subsequently add another module area to a system section that has already been configured.  You can only assign the unconfigured modules to a new inverter.

Hi hotline_oh,

I'm not exactly sure how, but it is definitely possible to accidentally remove modules from their inverters. This was not done in the inverter configuration window, but while changing the string layout. i.e. I was assigning different modules to the already configured strings to move them around the roof & give a nicer layout.

I am now left with an inverter configuration that has a number of strings listed as "String 2 (0 Modules)". On 1 inverter there are 4 MPPTs with 0 modules assigned. 

It is really quite frustrating that I will have to go through the process of manually assigning the strings again.

Dear haydn,

Thank you for your screenshot.

Once the inverter configuration is done, you can freely allocate interconnected modules to the inverters, MPP trackers or strings of a system:

1. Click button to go to Edit Module Allocations mode.
2. Select the modules and allocate them to an electrical node using the right mouse button.
3. In the context menu, you will now see the electrical nodes that can accommodate the selected modules. The following conditions apply:

• The number of selected modules must correspond to the number of modules of the target node.
• Modules can only be swapped within a module area.

When modules are allocated, strings may be created without an allocation. You can fill them automatically. To do this, right-click on a module without an allocation and select: Automatically allocate Remaining Modules.
