Current Status And Forecast
The Sunny Home Manager continuously logs the energy generated by the PV system. The Sunny Home Manager receives the PV generation data via the connected SMA inverters or via an optionally connected PV generation meter (e.g. an SMA Energy Meter). The Sunny Home Manager also receives location-based weather forecasts via the Internet. Based on this information, the Sunny Home Manager forecasts how much energy your PV system will likely generate in the next 48 hours and thus will be available.
The Sunny Home Manager includes the forecast of the energy availability in its energy planning and suggests cost-effective operating times for home appliances, for example.
To query forecast information, in the Configuration menu on the System properties page under PV system data, the following input fields must be completed:
Longitude
Latitude
Nominal PV system power (necessary for the correct power forecast)
If one of the three entries is missing in the forecast area, either the weather symbols are not displayed, the power forecast is not present or it is incorrect.
