System Properties

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:

• System name

• Commissioning

• CO₂ factor

• Plant with self-consumption

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.

Depending on the selected country, the data may be shared with external service providers of SMA Solar Technology AG.

Location

You can manage your system portfolio by means of your location information, and receive location-specific weather and power forecasts.

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.

External access

The access to the system and the quality of the data communication are configured here. The following configurations are possible:

• External parameterization

• Service access

• Intensity of the data communication (high, medium, low)

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.

System password

Change the system password for communication with the SMA devices.

The new system password is transmitted as the password of the user role "Installer" to the SMA devices. If you already changed the system password in the SMA devices of the system, enter this new password in the fields "Old system password" and "New system password".

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.

Speedwire encryption

By activating this function, you can increase the safety of your system.

The Speedwire encryption lets you safely encrypt the local SMA system network with SEC (SMA Speedwire Encrypted Communication) and protect from unauthorized access.

This Speedwire encryption can only be enabled if all devices in the system support SEC. You can activate and deactivate the Speedwire encryption of the system here.
