Sunny Portal
SMA's online monitoring platform, Sunny Portal, gives system owners a clear view of how much electricity they are generating and using, including grid import/export and battery charging where applicable. It is accessible via browser and provides both real-time and historical performance data.
SMA Smart Connected
SMA inverters with the Smart Connected feature automatically report system performance back to the installer, enabling proactive fault detection and alerts without the system owner needing to do anything. This means potential issues can often be identified and addressed before they result in any meaningful loss of generation.
Sunny Home Manager 2.0
The Sunny Home Manager 2.0 is SMA's smart energy management system for the home. It monitors all energy flows in real time, learns the household's typical consumption patterns, and uses weather forecast data to predict when solar generation will be highest. It then automatically controls compatible appliances, washing machines, dishwashers, heat pumps, EV chargers, and battery storage systems, to maximise the proportion of your own solar energy you actually use, reducing grid import and cutting electricity costs. Compatible appliances can be controlled via radio-controlled sockets or direct smart device integration.
