SMA sunny home manager - Radio-Controlled Socket Functions

The SunnyHomeManager establishes the connection to Speedwire devices via a router / network
switch in the local network.
SMA inverters are either fitted with Speedwire or BLUETOOTH ex works or can be retrofitted
accordingly (see product page of the respective inverter at www.SMA-Solar.com).
PV System Monitoring and Parameterization via SunnyPortal
SunnyPortal serves as the user interface of the SunnyHomeManager. The SunnyHomeManager
establishes the Internet connection to SunnyPortal via a router and sends the read-out data to
SunnyPortal.
Using SunnyPortal, the SunnyHomeManager enables monitoring of the system, a display of the
PV energy available over the course of the day, and a live display of all energy flows in the
household. Taking the different electricity prices into account, the SunnyHomeManager uses this to
derive recommendations for the prudent use of electrical energy.
Support for Increased Self-Consumption
Self-consumption means that the PV power is consumed at the site where it is generated.
In every household, there is "natural" self-consumption, because loads (e.g. oven) are in operation
while PV power is being produced and because certain loads continuously consume current (e.g.
refrigerator, devices in standby mode). If the PV system produces a lot of PV power, it is possible
that only a part of that PV power will be self-consumed. The excess PV power is fed into the utility
grid.
A higher self-consumption quota can be achieved if loads are specifically switched on when excess
PV power is available.
The following functions of the SunnyHomeManager make it possible to increase the self-
consumption quota:
Function Explanation
Creation of a PV yield fore-
cast
The SunnyHomeManager continuously logs the energy generated
by the PV system. The SunnyHomeManager also receives location-
based weather forecasts via the Internet*.
Based on this information, the SunnyHomeManager creates a PV
yield forecast for the PV system.
Creation of a load profile The SunnyHomeManager logs data on PV generation, grid feed-in
and purchased electricity. Based on PV generation, grid feed-in and
purchased electricity, the SunnyHomeManager determines how
much energy is typically consumed at which times and uses this to
create a load profile for the household. This load profile can be dif-
ferent for each day of the week.
The SunnyHomeManger receives the measured data for PV gener-
ation, grid feed-in and purchased electricity via the installed energy
meters (S0, D0 or SMAEnergyMeter) or from the inverters directly
via the data connection.
