      If you are experiencing issues with your SMA Measuring Instruments, it could be due to the SD card being full. Replace the SD card or format the SD card in FAT 32 format. Another potential cause is that the SD card is write-protected. Remove the write protection of the SD card.

    Why is my SMA Measuring Instruments Sunny WebBox not available?
    • M
      millerjoannaSep 2, 2025
      The Sunny WebBox might not be connected to the network or power supply. Ensure the Sunny WebBox is directly connected to the computer or local network with a network cable and is properly powered. Incorrect network settings of the network components can also cause this issue. Use the Sunny WebBox Assistant for commissioning, check the network settings of the computer, reset the Sunny WebBox, and verify the settings for all network components. A firewall blocking the connection can also be the cause. Deactivate the computer firewall or enable the necessary connection. Finally, defective network components, cables, or connections can be responsible. Replace any defective parts of the network.

    What to do if my SMA Measuring Instruments Sunny WebBox does not send data?

      Zachary CampbellSep 3, 2025
      If your Sunny WebBox isn't sending data, it might be due to incorrectly configured data transfer settings. Review your Sunny Portal or FTP Push settings. Ensure you're registered for data transfer to Sunny Portal by registering your Sunny WebBox. A fault in the network could also be the cause. Check the network settings of all components, including the router, Sunny WebBox, and computer, and replace any defective network parts. Perform a connection test to diagnose network issues.

      Nicholas GalvanSep 5, 2025
      If Internet Explorer displays old Sunny WebBox data after an FTP download, it's likely due to the browser's cache properties showing old data. Use an FTP client to load the plant data from the internal FTP server of the Sunny WebBox.

    • G
      Garrett HillSep 6, 2025

    Why does Sunny Portal contain two plants with the same name after a SMA Measuring Instruments Sunny WebBox replacement?
    • C
      Carly WallSep 7, 2025
      This issue occurs due to double Sunny Portal registration. The replacement Sunny WebBox logs into Sunny Portal with a new plant identifier, causing Sunny Portal to create a new plant, even if the name is the same. Assign the plant ID of the old plant to the replacement device. Enter the e-mail address of a user who has administrator rights for the plant in Sunny Portal in the replacement device. Delete the new plant the replacement device created in Sunny Portal.
