System Properties
You can change the following system properties subsequently that you assigned when creating a system.
System properties | Explanation |
|---|---|
System properties | You can add an asset image for each asset, which will be displayed in the asset properties and dashboard. |
System data | The system data are general data relevant to the PV system. The following data can be changed, for example:
|
Operator and installer data | Information on the operator and installer of the system. With this information, we will be able to offer you additional services such as SMA Smart Connected, and contact the correct persons in the event of problems. |
Location | You can manage your system portfolio by means of your location information, and receive location-specific weather and power forecasts. The location is selected via map input and can be adjusted manually if necessary. |
PV modules | If a PV array is installed in the system, power and yield prognoses can be identified on the basis of this information and a performance ratio (PR) calculated as accurately as possible. The values must be stated in kW. For an optimized energy management you can indicate the module surfaces of your PV system as well as their orientation and inclination. Thus, various orientations can be configured and taken into account. To calculate the performance ratio, sensors for solar irradiation and module temperature must be configured for all PV modules. A sensor for outside temperature can be integrated in addition. Locally available sensors or satellite-based data can be used. |
SMA SPOT | The PV current generated by your system can be directly marketed with SMA SPOT.1) |
External access | The access to the system and the quality of the data communication are configured here. The following configurations are possible:
The service access is activated automatically as soon as the SMA Remote Service has been enabled in the settings for system monitoring. If the external parameterization is disabled, this can only be undone via the user interface of the SMA Data Manager or the SMA inverter powered by ennexOS. |
Automatic updates | All update-capable SMA products of your system can receive automatic function and security updates. The function can also be set individually for each device in the parameter list. |
System password | Here you must set a system password for communication with SMA inverters with Webconnect function and with Sunny Home Manager 2.0. |
1) This function is not available in all countries.
Profiles for data communication
Different profiles are available to control the intensity of data communication in the system. The profiles can be edited in the system properties at any time in Sunny Portal to adjust the intensity. Note that when switching from a low to a high intensity data communication, the data from the past is not retroactively adjusted. The adjustment applies from the date of the change. The following profile can be selected for data communication:
- High (default setting): Devices send all relevant data to the Sunny Portal every 5 minutes.
- Medium: Devices send all relevant data to the Sunny Portal every 15 minutes.
- Low: Devices send the most important data to the Sunny Portal 6 times per day.
