Intended Use
The SMA Energy Solution Home is a PV and storage system and optimizes self-consumption of PV energy and lowers the energy obtained from the utility grid by the following measures:
Use of self-generated PV energy
Intermediate storage of PV energy in the battery
Energy management of the battery either with the inverter as System Manager and the SMA Energy Meter or the inverter as a subordinate device and the Sunny Home Manager
Visualization of consumption and generation data from the system in the SMA Energy App, in Sunny Portal, and in the SMA 360° app
Use of self-generated energy for selected loads or the entire household in the event of power outage
The power measured at the point of interconnection is recorded using either the SMA Energy Meter or the Sunny Home Manager. The product used does not replace the energy meter of the electric utility company.
The SMA Energy Solution Home is equipped by default with a manual secure power supply function. When needed, for example in case of a power outage, the inverter can continue to supply electric current from the battery and the PV system to selected loads by means of a socket connected to the inverter. In order to supply the whole household with battery backup power in case of a power outage, the system can be equipped with a backup solution (e.g. SMA Backup 1P).
All components must remain within their permitted operating ranges and their installation requirements at all times.
