Entering the Feed-In Tariff and Electricity Tariff

The values for feed-in tariff and electricity tariff were already queried and possibly entered during the system registration.

The question about self-consumption was also already asked when the system was being registered. Here you can change your previous setting if necessary. You can either use the electricity generated by your PV system for self-consumption or sell it , i.e., feed it into the utility grid. The Sunny Home Manager uses this information for cost saving and takes the entered values into account during load control to optimize self-consumption.

The entered values affect:

  • Recommended actions for manually switching on loads Current status and forecast > Forecast and recommended action

  • Load control via the Sunny Home Manager (either directly via the local network or via switching devices such as a radio-controlled sockets or a relays)

Procedure:

  1. Enter the feed-in tariff per kWh in the area Reimbursement in the text field Feed-In Tariff. Also select the desired currency in the accompanying drop-down list.
  2. In the text field PV system with self-consumption, select whether self-generated PV energy is consumed in your household (self-consumption).
  3. If you select Yes, the self-consumption of the household is taken into consideration in the load planning and recommended actions.
  4. If you select No, loads cannot be integrated into the energy management of the Sunny Home Manager. A corresponding message will appear and you will be asked to either confirm or change your decision.
  5. In the area Electricity Tariff , enter the time for which the electricity tariff applies in the input fields From and To.
    Tip: Split the night tariff into two tariffs. Configure the first tariff up to 12 midnight. Configure the second tariff from 12 midnight.
  6. Enter the electricity tariff that applies to the entered time in the input field Price.
  7. If the electricity tariff only applies to specific weekdays, activate the checkboxes with the respective weekdays.
  8. If the electricity tariff applies to each weekday, activate all weekday checkboxes.
  9. To enter additional electricity tariffs, select and enter the data.
