Satellite-based data (not available in all countries)
Sunny Portal provides the possibility to display solar irradiation values, outside and cell
temperatures, and wind speeds at the system's location without local sensors. These values can be
used to determine the performance ratio of PV systems for example. The system location can be
integrated with the aid of Google Maps.
Energy monitoring
Several SMA Energy Meters and Modbus energy meters from other manufacturers can be
connected for comprehensive energy monitoring. The product can also read out, save and display
the generation and consumption data of the meters.
In addition, energy meters (e.g. a gas meter) can be registered via the extended functions in
Sunny Portal. The meter readings can be entered manually and displayed.
FTP Push
The FTP Push function can be used to upload collected system data to a freely selectable external
FTP server. The collected system data is uploaded to the specified directory up to once an hour.
Here, the system data is exported in an unchangeable XML format. The system data and user data
is transmitted via standard FTP protocol to the FTP server without encryption.
Sunny Design projects
Systems planned in Sunny Design can be imported into the Sunny Portal and, if necessary,
configured there.
SMA Smart Connected
SMA Smart Connected is the free monitoring of the inverter via the SMA Sunny Portal. Thanks to
SMA Smart Connected, the PV system operator and qualified person will be informed automatically
and proactively about inverter events that occur.
SMA Smart Connected is activated during registration in Sunny Portal. In order to use SMA Smart
Connected, it is necessary that the inverter is permanently connected to Sunny Portal and the data
of the PV system operator and qualified person is stored in Sunny Portal and up-to-date.
SMA Smart Connected can only be used in Sunny Portal when this feature is supported by the
inverters.
Grid management services
The product is equipped with service functions for grid management.
Depending on the requirements of the grid operator, you can activate and configure the functions
(e.g. active power limitation) via operating parameters.
The setpoints from the grid operator can either be implemented via open-loop control or closed-
loop control. For this, the setpoints are specified via Modbus, via analog or digital signals or
manually in the installation assistant. The implementation of the setpoints is reported back to the
grid operator.
Active power limitation
The setpoint for active power limitation is specified in percent. The total system power is taken as
the reference value. For this, the setpoints are specified via Modbus, via analog or digital signals or
manually in the installation assistant.
