9.1 Creating a SunnyHomeManager System in SunnyPortal
SunnyPortal is used as the user interface of the SunnyHomeManager. In general and in this document, systems
equipped with a SunnyHomeManager are referred to as a "SunnyHomeManagersystem."
To create a Sunny Home Manager system for the first time or a new one, you must use the system setup assistant of
Sunny Portal at www.sunnyportal.com/register.
The system setup assistant will guide you through all further steps:
• User registration
• Registration of the SunnyHomeManager system
– System properties such as the system name and password
– Registration and identification of the SunnyHomeManager
– Configuration of the energy meter
– Extended system properties such as the nominal system power, location, annual yield, feed-in tariffs, and
more.
In the User Information column, the system setup assistant provides helpful background information and other
information for all entries.
Even if you already have a PV system in which you want to integrate a
SunnyHomeManager, you have to create a new system.
Only after the SunnyHomeManager has been registered, can other devices in the system be detected or further
devices integrated.
In order to be able to transfer the devices of the previous system to the new SunnyHomeManager system, you
must first deactivate these devices (usually at least 1 inverter) in the old system. Then you can add the devices to
the new system.
The procedure for adding or replacing devices is described under Configuration > Device overview >
Overview of new devices.
Requirements:
☐ The PV system and all devices in the local network must be in operation and connected to the
SunnyHomeManager via a router.
☐ The registration ID (RID) and the identification key (PIC) must be available. The information can be found on the
type label that is attached on the side of the product as well as on the label provided.
☐ The status LED must glow green and the performance LED must be off on the SunnyHomeManager.
☐ In order to be able to display PV generation and consumption in your household, energy meters for the
measurement of the power- and energy values must be connected. By default, the SunnyHomeManager fulfills
this requirement.
Procedure:
1. Start the web browser and go to www.SunnyPortal.com/register.
