SMA sunny home manager - Changing the Device Name

Entering the string properties provides the following advantages:

efficiently.
Enter the PV array power manually
You can find out the connected PVarray power present on each inverter from your installer. Using
the PVarray power, SunnyPortal can calculate your nominal PVsystem power (see
Section12.4.2, page110).
