Operating Manual STPx0-3SE-40-BE-en-10 83
9.18 Setting SMA ShadeFix
You can set the time interval in which the inverter has to determine the optimum operating point. If
you do not want to use SMA ShadeFix, you can disable the feature.
In battery-backup operation mode, SMA ShadeFix is automatically deactivated.
The basic procedure for changing operating parameters is explained in another section (see
Section9.9, page76).
Procedure:
• In the parameter group DC-side > DC settings > SMA ShadeFix, set the parameter Time
interval of SMA ShadeFix and set the required time interval. The ideal time interval is
usually 6 minutes. This value should only be increased if the shading situation changes
extremely slowly.
☑ The inverter optimizes the MPP of the PV system at the predetermined time interval.
• In order to disable the SMAShadeFix feature, in the parameter group DC-side > DC settings
> SMA ShadeFix, set the parameter SMA ShadeFix switched on to Off.
9.19 Saving the Configuration in a File
You can save the current configuration of the inverter in a file. You can use this file as a data
backup for this inverter and then import this file into this inverter again or another inverter from the
same type or device family to configure the inverter. When saving, only the device parameters will
be saved, not any passwords.
Procedure:
1. Open the user interface (see Section9.1, page66).
2. Log into the user interface (see Section9.2, page69).
3. Select the menu Device Configuration.
4. Select [Settings].
5. In the context menu, select [Saving the configuration in a file].
6. Follow the instructions in the dialog.
9.20 Adopting a Configuration from a File
To configure the inverter, you can adopt the configuration from a file. To be able to do this, you
must first save the configuration of another inverter from the same type or device family in a file (see
Section9.19, page83). When saving, only the device parameters will be adopted, not any
passwords.
Requirements:
☐ Changes to grid-relevant parameters must be approved by the responsible grid operator.
