Sunny Beam is a communication device which requests, displays
and saves data from up to 12 inverters in a Bluetooth PV system
from SMA. Communication with the inverters takes place via
Bluetooth.

• Processing data from up to 12 inverters.
• Connection to the inverters via Bluetooth Class 1.
• Range of up to 328ft (100m) in the open with direct visual contact. In closed rooms the range
depends on various factors.
• Display of errors and warnings on the integrated display.
