SMA SUNNY HOME MANAGER 2.0 - Energy Balance

13 Visualization of the energy management
SMA Solar Technology AG
Operating manualHM-20-BE-en-1992
Position Explanation
B Suitable time for manually switching on loads
The SunnyHomeManager takes the following information into consideration for the recommended
action:
• Expected PV power (see position C)
Requirement: The location of the system must be set.
• Expected energy consumption of the household and of loads for which the
SunnyHomeManager receives measured values of the power consumed via switching device
or via direct communication. The SunnyHomeManager determines the anticipated energy
consumption in accordance with the consumption forecast based on the "learned"
consumption behavior of the individual household.
Requirement: The data collection of the loads must be activated.
• Feed-in tariff and electricity tariff
Requirement: The feed-in tariff and electricity tariff must be entered.
• Optimization target
The optimization target indicates whether the Sunny Home Manager should prioritize
ecological- or economical factors during load management.
• Azimuth and tilt angle
Requirement: The inverter strings must be configured.
C Expected PV power in accordance with the PV yield forecast
The SunnyHomeManager determines the available PV power that can be expected in each case
using the weather forecast for the selected location and the "learned" behavior of the specific sys-
tem.
Tip: When you move the mouse over one of the bars, the following details for this time period will
be displayed in a window:
• Estimated PV generation
• Estimated consumption
• Difference between the estimated PV generation and estimated consumption
D Tariff for the electric current purchased from the utility grid
• Red: expensive
• Green: good value
If you have only entered 1 electricity tariff, green is always displayed.
• Other colors: electricity tariffs between the highest and the lowest electricity tariff
E View of the time periods for the planned operation of the loads (load prognosis)
• The configured time periods are shown as colored, semi-transparent bars.
• Time periods planned by the SunnyHomeManager in which the loads were actually in
operation or are going to be in operation are shown as colored, solid bars.
A simple solid line symbolizes times during which the self-consumption of the load is measured.
F Loads legend
The legend shows which color is assigned to which load in the time period view (E).
