What is on the Inverters tab?
Inverters lists every inverter of a solar park in one table, with its group, model, serial number, DC capacity and whether it is linked. Choose an inverter for its own page with the tabs Dashboard and Inverter configuration.
Why it matters
An inverter with the wrong DC capacity or without a data logger gives wrong figures or no data. On the dashboard of one inverter you see whether it lags behind the others, and why an alarm went off.

Who sees what
- The Inverters tab and Inverter configuration are for Admin, Operator and Viewer.
- An inverter's Dashboard is for every role, the customer too. A customer gets there through the Monitoring tab or an alarm.
- Only an Admin or Operator can change things, and only for a site without a park configuration. Otherwise the subtitle ends in "read-only for role …".
- Serial numbers and RMAs show with the right to work orders or to Monitoring RMAs.
- A battery asset has no Inverters tab.
- For a site from the configurator, Inverters sits among the other tabs. For a site without a park configuration it is the fourth step under Configure asset.
