7.9.2 Deactivating Overnight Shutdown
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.
In order to deactivate overnight shutdown, proceed as follows:
1. Select "Settings > Data query > Overnight Shutdown".
2. Remove the checkmark from the "active" box.
☑ Overnight shutdown is now deactivated.
In order to prevent the batteries from discharging when overnight shutdown is deactivated, connect
the Sunny Beam to a power source, as described in section 7.5.2 "Battery Symbol/Charging the
Batteries" (page50), part "Charging the batteries when there is insufficient daylight" (page50).
