Defining Load Profiles
You can select typical load profiles or create and edit your own load profiles. 2 load profiles can be combined in case of off-grid and self-consumption projects. 5 templates can be combined in case of energy systems. In the menu My Sunny Design > Own load profiles, you can create or manage your own load profiles.
