8 Configuration
8.1 Configuration Procedure
Once you have commissioned the inverter, you may have to adjust various settings via the rotary
switches in the inverter or via a communication product. This section describes the procedure for
configuration and gives an overview of the steps you must perform in the prescribed order.
Procedure See
1. If required, integrate the inverter in a Speedwire
network. Section 8.2, page 36
2. To manage the PV system data or to set the in-
verter parameters, capture the inverter in a com-
munication product. Manual of the communication product
at www.SMA-Solar.com
3. Change the system time and system password. Manual of the communication product
at www.SMA-Solar.com
4. If required, register the inverter in Sunny Portal. Manual of the SMA Speedwire/Web-
connect data module
5. Set the active power limitation in case of PV sys-
tem control failure. Section 8.4, page 37
6. If required, reduce the attenuation of ripple con-
trol signals. Section 8.5, page 38
7. For partially shaded PV modules and depending
on the given shading situation, you should set
the interval at which the inverter optimizes the
MPP of the PV system. Section 8.6, page 38
8.2 Integrating the Inverter into the Network
If the router supports DHCP and DHCP is enabled, the inverter will automatically be integrated into
the network. You will not need to carry out network configuration.
If the router does not support DHCP, automatic network configuration will not be possible and you
will need to use the SMA Connection Assist to integrate the inverter into the network.
Requirements:
☐ The inverter must be in operation.
☐ There must be a router with Internet connection in the local network of the system.
☐ The inverter must be connected to the router.
Procedure:
• Integrate the inverter into the network by means of the SMA Connection Assist. Download the
SMA Connection Assist and install it on the computer (see www.SMA-Solar.com).
