11.6. 4 Structure of the Excel Files
The data is saved as Excel files on your PC in the respective plant's directory. The directory has the
name of the plant which you have created in Sunny Data Control.
By default, the plants' data is in the directory:
"C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\\Eigene Dateien\SMA\Sunny Data
Control\Plants".
If you have already saved plant data with earlier versions of Sunny Data Control, your directory
containing the plant data will continue to be used (C:\Programme\SMA\Sunny Data
Control\Plants).
If you selected a different directory on your PC during installation of Sunny Data Control, open the
directory in which Sunny Data Control is saved, and open the directory "Plants".
In the saved data, a distinction is made between measurement data and daily energy data. This
data is read out from the Sunny Boy Control separately, and is saved in separate files.
• Daily files are saved together in a consolidated yearly file.
• All other measured values are saved together in consolidated monthly files.
For each Sunny Boy Control, there is a subdirectory with a name which comprises the text "SBC"
and the device's serial number (e.g. SBC119010325).
This is where the files with the saved measurement data are situated. The measurement data from
the individual channels is sorted according to day, and is saved on a monthly basis in the
corresponding devices' subdirectories in separate Excel files.
Thus, the number of files is determined by the measurement period. For instance, if measurement
data was recorded over an entire year with the Sunny Boy Control, there would be twelve files with
monthly values on your hard drive after saving.

The structure of the Excel files is explained on the basis of files which have been read out
from a Sunny Boy Control. Files read out from a Sunny Beam have a similar structure.
