SMA Solar Technology AG 4 Product Description
Installation Manual HoMan-IA-en-17 19
Creation of a load profile The Sunny Home Manager logs the PV generation, the grid feed-in,
and the purchased electricity. Based on PV generation, grid feed-in and
purchased electricity, the Sunny Home Manager determines how
much energy is typically consumed at certain times and uses this to
create a load profile for the household. This load profile can be
different for each day of the week.
The Sunny Home Manager obtains the PV generation data from the
connected SMA inverters, from an SMA Energy Meter, or from
another energy meter. The Sunny Home Manager receives the data on
grid feed-in and purchased electricity from an SMA Energy Meter or at
least one other energy meter.
Control of
SMA radio-controlled
sockets Specific loads connected to SMA radio-controlled sockets can be
switched on and off by the Sunny Home Manager. The
Sunny Home Manager uses the PV yield forecast and the load profile
to determine favorable time periods for optimization of internal power
supply and self-consumption. In accordance with the PV system
operator's specifications and taking the determined time periods into
account, the Sunny Home Manager controls switch-on and switch-off
of the loads.
Also, SMA radio-controlled sockets provide the facility to individually
monitor and record the consumption of loads.
Control of Miele devices
via the Miele@home
system The Sunny Home Manager can control supported devices from
Miele & Cie KG via a Miele@home gateway** .
The Sunny Home Manager uses the PV yield forecast and the load
profile to determine favorable time periods for optimization of internal
power supply and self-consumption. In accordance with the PV system
operator's specifications and taking the determined time periods into
account, the Sunny Home Manager controls switch-on and switch-off
of the loads.
Control of devices via a
data exchange protocol The Sunny Home Manager can control devices using a data exchange
protocol defined by SMA Solar Technology AG by communicating
with the devices either directly or via an appropriate gateway using
Ethernet. The device reports its energy demand to the Sunny Home
Manager and the Sunny Home Manager allocates the available
energy to the device taking the PV yield forecast and the consumption
forecast into account.
