6.1 Notes
A Bluetooth PV system must only be commissioned with 1 master (e.g. Sunny
Beam with Bluetooth, Sunny Explorer).
Always commission a Bluetooth PV system with 1 master only. As soon as the Bluetooth
network is up and running, you can introduce further masters into the Bluetooth network.
Before commissioning the PV system, a free NetID needs to be detected.
Before you can start operating your Bluetooth PV system, you need to detect a free NetID
using the Sunny Beam. For more information see section 6.3 "Determining free NetID"
(page18).
Alternatively, you can also determine a free NetID using a computer with Bluetooth and
the Sunny Explorer software by SMA Solar Technology AG. For more information on how

Setting the time zone
Inverters with SMA Bluetooth Piggy-Back
If you use inverters with SMA Bluetooth piggy-backs, you must set the correct values for
date, daylight saving time, time and time zone in the Sunny Beam. If you change these
values after commissioning, thereby resetting the time, the data for this time difference will
be deleted from the inverter.
Please note that the time may also be reset if you change the settings for time zone or
daylight saving time.
Confirming the time settings
Due to the extensive time management in your PV system, the first attempt to change the
time settings may not be successful, if, for example, time has already been set using Sunny
Explorer. This can occur, for example if the time has already been changed with the Sunny
Explorer. Check the time settings again after commissioning and correct them, if required.
The time you set in the Sunny Beam is also applied by the inverters.

7.11.6 Setting the Maximum System Power in kWp
The system power in kWp (kilowatt peak) is the maximum possible power of the PV system. You can
find out the value in kWp from your installer. The Sunny Beam requires the system power in kWp to
calculate the specific annual yield (kWh/kWp). The specific annual yield makes it possible to directly
compare PV systems of different sizes. The calculated specific annual yield indicates the energy yield
for a system size with 1 kWp of power installed.
The specific annual yield is one of the charts of the Sunny Beam
(see figure on the right). The Sunny Beam can display the system
performance for the last 20 years. The more years are included,
the more narrow the columns will be.
1. Select "Settings > PV plant > Plant power in kWp".
2. Set the system power in kWp.
☑ The system power in kWp has been set.
Requires data from January to December
The specific annual yield for one year is only representative if the Sun ny B eam can use dat a
for an entire year. If your PV system with the Sunny Beam was commissioned in July, for
instance, data from the previous months are lacking. The present data (from July to
December) will then be projected to the entire year by the Sunny Beam.
Expanding your Bluetooth PV system
If your Bluetooth PV system is to be expanded with more PV modules, you need to set the
new system power in kWp on the Sunny Beam. The new inverters can be added to the
Sunny Beam by performing a new system search (see section 7.11.3 "Repeating the
System Search" (page60)).
User Manual BeamBT-BEN094911 63
Operation SMA Solar Technology AG
Automatic calculation of the specific annual yield with the Sunny Beam
The Sunny Beam calculates the specific annual yield as follows:
• kWh (kilowatt hour) divided by kWp (kilowatt peak) = specific annual yield.
You can find out the value in kWp from your installer.
The value for kWh is calculated as follows:
The total of all daily energy values (E-day), which the Sunny Beam has been provided with
for this year, divided by the number of daily energy values, multiplied by 365 days:
• (E-day 1) + (E-day 2) + (E-day 3) + (E-day n) divided by the number of daily energy
values, multiplied by 365 days = the value for kWh.
Example:
(E-day 1) + (E-day 2)....+ (E-day 250) divided by 250 days, multiplied by 365 days
= x (kWh).
x (kWh) divided by kWp = specific annual yield.
