2.2.2 Devices from Other Manufacturers
Inverters
Inverters from other manufacturers can be integrated in PV systems with Sunny Home Manager
provided that the following requirements are met:
☐ The power output of the inverters must be captured via a separate SMA Energy Meter.
☐ The SMA Energy Meter must be configured in Sunny Portal as a PV production meter
(for information on how to configure the energy meters, see the user manual of the
Sunny Home Manager).
☐ In hybrid systems with SMA inverters and inverters from other manufacturers, the PV production
meter must measure the joint power of all
inverters taken together. As soon as you have
registered and configured a PV production meter in the Sunny Home Manager system,
the Sunny Home Manager will no longer query the power data of the SMA inverters directly
from the inverters via BLUETOOTH or Speedwire, but will receive the power data from the
PV production meter.
Monitoring of the PV system and the dynamic limitation of the active power fed into the utility grid are
not
possible with inverters from other manufacturers. In this case, verify whether operation of the
PV system without dynamic active power limitation is permitted in the given country, or whether
dynamic active power limitation can be performed independently by the inverter itself.
Energy Meters
The Sunny Home Manager supports the following energy meter types:
• Energy meters with D0 interface* :
You can find a list of supported energy meters with D0 interface in the planning guidelines
"SMA SMART HOME - The System Solution for more Independence“ at www.SMA-Solar.com.
Recommended resolution: at least 10 Wh
Information: for the function Limitation of active power feed-in, the energy meters with D0
interface must have a resolution of at least 1 Wh.
* D0 interface in accordance with IEC 62056-21, part 4.3
SMA Solar Technology AG 2 Safety
Installation Manual HoMan-IA-en-17 13
• Energy meters with S0 interface* :
Energy meters with an S0 interface must output values netted across the line phases at the S0
interface. If necessary, contact the manufacturer of the energy meter.
Bidirectional meters with an S0 interface must be equipped with two S0 interfaces.
Recommended pulse length: at least 20 ms
Recommended pulse rate: 1,000 pulses per kWh
Information: for the function Limitation of active power feed-in, energy meters with an S0
interface must have the following minimum pulse rates:
– At a maximum allowed grid feed-in of more than 1,500 W: at least 250 pulses per kWh
– At a maximum allowed grid feed-in of less than 1,500 W: at least 500 pulses per kWh

Reading Out Energy Meter Data and Data from SMA Devices with BLUETOOTH
or Speedwire Communication Interface
The Sunny Home Manager reads out the data of the connected energy meters and SMA devices.
The Sunny Home Manager is connected to the energy meters via network cables.
The Sunny Home Manager establishes the wireless connection to the BLUETOOTH devices
(e.g. SMA radio-controlled sockets) via BLUETOOTH.
The communication between the Sunny Home Manager and an SMA inverter is possible either via
BLUETOOTH or via Speedwire. It is not necessary for all inverters in a PV system to use the same
interface. The Sunny Home Manager can manage and regulate inverters with BLUETOOTH and
inverters with Speedwire as one PV system.
The Sunny Home Manager establishes the connection to Speedwire devices via a router/network
switch in the local network.
SMA inverters are either available fitted with Speedwire or BLUETOOTH ex works, or they can be
retrofitted accordingly (see product page of the respective inverter at www.SMA-Solar.com).
PV System Monitoring and Parameterization via Sunny Portal
Sunny Portal serves as the user interface of the Sunny Home Manager. The Sunny Home Manager
establishes the Internet connection to Sunny Portal and sends the read-out data to Sunny Portal via a
router.
Using Sunny Portal, the Sunny Home Manager enables monitoring of the system, a display of the
PV energy available over the course of the day, and a live display of all energy flows in the
household. Taking the different electricity prices into account, the Sunny Home Manager derives from
this recommendations for the prudent use of electrical energy.
Support for Increased Self-Consumption
Self-consumption means that the PV power is consumed at the site where it is generated.
In every household, there is "natural" self-consumption, because loads (e.g. oven) are in operation
while PV power is being produced and because certain loads continuously consume current
(e.g. refrigerator, devices in standby mode). If the PV system produces a lot of PV power, it is possible
that only a part of that PV power will be self-consumed. The excess PV power is fed into the utility grid.
A higher self-consumption quota can be achieved if loads are specifically switched on when excess
PV power is available.
The following functions of the Sunny Home Manager make it possible to increase the
self-consumption quota:
Function Explanation
Creation of a PV yield
forecast
The Sunny Home Manager continuously logs the energy generated by
the PV system. It also receives location-based weather forecasts via the
Internet* .
Based on this information, the Sunny Home Manager creates a PV
yield forecast for the PV system.
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.

Limitation of Active Power Feed-In
Local regulations, for example, the Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG) in Germany, can call for
permanent limitation of active power feed-in for your PV system, that is, a limitation of the active power
fed into the utility grid to a fixed amount or a percentage share of the installed nominal PV system
power. If required, ask your grid operator whether a permanent limitation of the active power feed-in
is necessary and whether you are allowed to use the Sunny Home Manager for this purpose (see the
Manufacturer's Declaration "Feed-In Management In Accordance with the Renewable Energy
Sources Act (EEG) 2012 with SMA Sunny Home Manager (SHM) from SMA" available at
www.SMA-Solar.com). Using an SMA Energy Meter or a suitable feed-in meter, the
Sunny Home Manager monitors the active power that is fed into the utility grid. If the active power
feed-in exceeds the prescribed limit, the Sunny Home Manager limits the PV generation of the
inverters accordingly.
When used with SMA
battery inverters:
Prevention of derating
losses
The Sunny Home Manager prevents derating losses which can arise
due to the limitation of active power feed-in. Taking the PV yield
forecast and the consumption forecast into account, the timing and
duration of battery charging are controlled and the battery charge is
optimized according to the available energy supply, if excess
PV energy cannot otherwise be used.
When used with SMA
battery inverters:
Optimized discharge of
lead-acid batteries
The Sunny Home Manager uses the calculated load profile and the PV
yield forecast to control battery discharge. The battery is discharged
when the following criteria are met:
• It is possible for the battery to be discharged to a point where
sufficient storage capacity is free to absorb the amount of PV
energy forecast for the next battery charge.
• The discharged lead-acid battery can then promptly be charged
with excess PV energy.
The use of these criteria ensures that the lead-acid battery is conserved
while making optimum use of the battery capacity.
Transmission of
SMA Energy Meter data
to Sunny Island systems
If an SMA Speedwire Sunny Island data module is installed in the
Sunny Island, the Sunny Home Manager can send SMA Energy Meter
data to the Sunny Island system.
Transmission of energy
meter data to
Sunny Backup systems
If a BLUETOOTH Piggy-Back Off-Grid is installed in the Sunny Backup,
the Sunny Home Manager can transfer the energy meter data to the
Sunny Backup system.

Function Explanation
SMA Solar Technology AG 4 Product Description
Installation Manual HoMan-IA-en-17 21
The Sunny Home Manager avoids derating losses due to limitation of PV power generation by taking
the current self-consumption of the household into account. Sunny Home Manager helps to use excess
PV power in households directly and increases the self-consumption quota as a result. For PV systems
with SMA battery inverters, the Sunny Home Manager preferentially uses the derated active power
to charge the battery.
Implementation of Grid Management Services via Ethernet-Based
Communication
As part of grid management services, it may be necessary to implement grid operator specifications
for active power limitation and for reactive power feed-in (e.g. the active power feed-in of your PV
system will be reduced in the event of grid overloads).
The Sunny Home Manager can implement requirements for grid management services that the grid
operator sends to the Sunny Home Manager via Ethernet-based communication.
If applicable, ask your grid operator whether your PV system is required to implement grid
management services.
4.1.2 Type Label
The type label clearly identifies the product. The type label is located on the back of the product.
You can read off the following data from the type label:
•Serial number
•Registration ID
•Assembly name (type)
• Hardware version (version)
You will require the information on the type label to use the product safely and when seeking customer
support from the SMA Service Line.
Example: Limitation of the active power feed-in to 70% of the nominal PV system power
Due to high levels of solar irradiation, the system can currently produce 90% of the nominal PV
system power.
• At this time, 20% of the nominal PV system power is being consumed by loads in the
household. The remaining 70% of the nominal PV system power is being fed into the utility
grid.
☑ No limitation of PV generation is required.
• A load is switched off and only 10% of the nominal PV system power is consumed in the
household. As a result, 80% of the nominal system power is available for feed-in to the utility
grid – more than allowed.
☑ The Sunny Home Manager reduces PV generation from the theoretically possible 90% of
nominal PV system power to 80%. 70% of the nominal PV system power continues to be
fed into the utility grid.
