More Informative and Easy to Use

Sunny Home Manager: With immediate effect, the Sunny Portal with Sunny Home Manager allows the limitation of the active power fed into the utility grid - either to a fixed value or to a percentage of the nominal plant power. If the generated PV power minus the value for self-consumption reaches the indicated value, the Sunny Home Manager prevents further increase in PV generation.

Analysis: A new "Analysis" page is available for plants with Sunny WebBox, Sunny WebBox with Bluetooth, Sunny Home Manager and Cluster Controller.

Being even better informed: monitoring the communication between
Sunny WebBox and Sunny Portal

PV plants with the professional data logger Sunny WebBox regularly send measuring and event data to the Sunny Portal. Should this communication be disturbed, you can choose to be informed about this matter in future. Sunny Portal reminds you in case of persistent disturbance and gives the all-clear as soon as communication is re-established.
And those who want to have even more details: the time of the last contact with the PV plant is displayed in Sunny Portal at any time.

Inverter comparison: evaluating the inverters' yield automatically

The performance of PV systems with at least two Sunny Boy or Sunny Mini Central inverters can be evaluated with a yield comparison. The specific yield of the inverters is compared and Sunny Portal informs the operator in case a defined threshold is exceeded. With few settings, you determine which devices are to be compared. And it is possible to configure the alarming threshold on your own: in case of deviations you receive a daily email from Sunny Portal.
