7.9 Data Query
7.9.1 Changing the Data Query Frequency
You can change the frequency at which the Sunny Beam is to query data from the inverters. The
default setting is 1 hour.
1. Select "Settings > Data query > Data query every:".
2. Set frequency.
☑ The frequency for data queries has been changed.
Power consumption
The higher the data query frequency is, the more energy the Sunny Beam will consume.
One query per hour is sufficient. The data is cached in the inverter.
Overnight shutdown of the Sunny Beam
By default, the Sunny Beam will not query any data from the inverter overnight. Once the
sun has set, solar inverters no longer feed in power; therefore they no longer produce data
either. If you are using a wind inverter by SMA, you need to deactivate the Sunny Beam
overnight shutdown to be able to query the complete data of the wind inverter (overnight
deactivation, see section 7.9.2)
