Effects of Prioritization of Loads

The following effects will be caused by a prioritization of loads:

• If there are several loads with CAN time periods, the lowest-cost energy will be allocated to the load which you have given the highest priority using the slider.

• If there is not enough low-cost PV energy for all loads with CAN time periods, lower-priority loads may not be switched on at all. For this reason, the priority of appliances with low power, such as washing machines and dishwashers, should be lower than the priority of charging devices such as the SMA eCharger, for example.

• Basically, the Sunny Home Manager schedules optional loads only if it can ensure that the planning target is met.

In the case of the time period type Load must be switched on, the priority of the load does not have any effect, as the load is switched on in any event, possibly also with grid-supplied power.
