How to disable 'USB can perform better' message for SMA SUNNY BEAM?
- J
  Joel LeblancSep 12, 2025
  If your computer displays a message that the USB can perform better with your SMA Household Appliance, you can disable the message. Be aware that this will also prevent other USB error messages from being displayed. To do this on Windows XP (steps may vary on other operating systems): right-click on "My Computer", select "Device Manager", open "USB Controller", right-click on "Host Controller", select "Properties", select "Advanced", and tick the box that says "Do not display USB errors".

What to do if my Sunny Beam SMA Industrial Electrical has an unreliable radio connection?
- W
  William HarrisAug 22, 2025
  An unreliable radio connection to your Sunny Beam can occur if it is too far from your Bluetooth PV system, or if there is interference (walls or ceilings) weakening the radio waves. To solve this, place the Sunny Beam closer to a device in your Bluetooth PV system. If this isn't possible, use the SMA Bluetooth Repeater to bridge the radio gap.

  An alarm sound indicates either an error in an inverter or a low battery state of charge. If there is an error in the inverter, contact your installer and provide them with the event message and the serial number of the inverter. If the battery charge is low, charge the batteries.

What to do if padlock symbol is displayed on SMA SUNNY BEAM Household Appliance?
- C
  Chloe ElliottSep 18, 2025
  If the padlock symbol is displayed on your SMA Household Appliance, even after entering the correct system password, and you have inverters with SMA Bluetooth piggy-back, it's likely because the inverter switches off at night. The padlock will disappear once the inverter is switched on in the morning.

Why are there gaps in chart data on my SMA SUNNY BEAM Household Appliance?
- A
  Amy OconnorSep 13, 2025
  If you notice gaps or extreme characteristics in the chart data of your SMA Household Appliance, and you have an SMA Bluetooth piggy-back system, it may be due to setting a time on the Sunny Beam that precedes detection of the PV system. To avoid this, minimize changes to the time settings on the Sunny Beam.

Why Sunny Beam SMA Household Appliance lists inverters from other systems?
- P
  Philip JacksonSep 10, 2025
  If your SMA Household Appliance Sunny Beam lists inverters from other systems, it's likely that another Bluetooth PV system within radio range is using the same NetID. Determine a free NetID again, as described in the section "Determining a free NetID" (page 21), to resolve this.

Why Sunny Beam SMA Household Appliance does not list all inverters?
- M
  Michael FranklinSep 6, 2025
  If your SMA Household Appliance Sunny Beam isn't listing all inverters in your Bluetooth PV system, try repeating the search. Also, verify that the NetID of your Bluetooth PV system has been set on the missing inverters and SMA Bluetooth repeaters, as described in the respective manual. Check the connection quality of the inverters and SMA Bluetooth repeaters, as described in the respective manual, ensuring it is at least good.
