Configuring the System with the SMA 360° App

Qualified person

A country data set must be set for feed-in operation

To ensure the inverter starts feed-in operation during initial commissioning, a country data set must be set (e.g., via the product commissioning wizard in the SMA 360 app or on the user interface of the product, or via a System Manger).

If no country data set is set, then feed-in operation will be stopped. This state is signaled by the green and red LEDs flashing simultaneously.

The inverter will automatically start feed-in operation only after the inverter configuration is completed.

The country data set must be set correctly.

If you select a country data set which is not valid for your country and purpose, it can cause a disturbance in the PV system and lead to problems with the grid operator. When selecting the country data set, you must always observe the locally applicable standards and directives as well as the properties of the PV system (e.g. PV system size, grid-connection point).

  1. If you are not sure which standards and directives are valid for your country or purpose, contact the grid operator.

The grid type must be set correctly

If you select the wrong grid type, it can cause a disturbance in the PV system and lead to problems with the grid operator.

Requirement:

  • All system components must be switched on (see manual of the products).
  • The latest firmware must be installed on all system components.
  • All system components must be located in the same network.
  • An SMA ID must be available.

    Procedure:

    1. Download the SMA 360° App from the App Store or Play Store.
    2. Open the SMA 360° App and log in with the SMA ID.
    3. If a system consists of multiple products and Wi-Fi is to be used for configuration, the subordinate devices must each be connected to the network separately. In the SMA 360° app, go to Setup > Network setup to establish a Wi-Fi connection with the product. Follow the instructions. When requested by the app, scan the QR code of the product. It can be found on the type label of your product. Perform this process for each subordinate device within the system.
    4. To start the commissioning wizard, go to Setup > Commissioning.
    5. Follow the SMA 360° app instructions and scan the QR code on the product's cover when prompted by the app to configure it as the System Manager.
    6. Select the Inverter as System Manager in the device settings, then continue with the app instructions.
    7. The Sunny Home Manager 2.0 or an SMA Energy Meter is detected during commissioning.
    8. The battery is detected during commissioning.
    9. The SMA backup solution is detected during commissioning.
    10. The SMA eCharger is detected during commissioning.
