  Nodal, excited compactons in the $\mathbb{C}P^N$ models with V-shaped
potentials are analyzed. It is shown that the solutions exist as compact
$Q$-balls and $Q$-shells. The solutions have a discontinuity in the second
derivative associated with the character of the potential, however, their
energy and charge densities are both continuous. The excited $Q$-balls and
$Q$-shells are analyzed as electrically neutral and electrically charged
objects.
