SMA SB 3600SE-10 - Manual (Page 18)

The Sunny Boy Smart Energy uses the Battery Pack for intermediate storage of excess PV energy.
The Sunny Boy Smart Energy and the Sunny Home Manager receive the data from the connected
energy meter and thus capture both feed-in and purchased electricity. The Sunny Home Manager
receives location-based weather forecasts via the Internet and uses these to create a yield forecast
for the PV system. In addition, the Sunny Home Manager determines how much energy is typically
consumed in a household at different times of the day and uses this to create an individual load
profile. Based on the load profile, the Sunny Home Manager determines the times at which the
loads can be supplied with self-generated energy, and, for example, switches the loads which are
connected to SMA radio-controlled sockets. The Sunny Home Manager transmits specifications to
the Sunny Boy Smart Energy for charging and discharging the Battery Pack. If required by the grid
operator, the Sunny Home Manager also limits the active power feed-in of the Sunny Boy Smart
Energy, taking into consideration the current consumption in the household. If the maximum value
for active power feed-in permitted by the grid operator is exceeded, the Sunny Home Manager
transmits the setpoint for active power limitation to the Sunny Boy Smart Energy.
