PV plant via the computer.
The Sunny WebBox is intended for private and industrial use. The Sunny WebBox data is not suitable
for billing purposes. The data collected by the Sunny WebBox on the amount of power generated by
your plant may deviate from the energy meter data. Additional costs can be incurred from the use of
the Internet.
The Sunny WebBox is only suitable for indoor use.
The Sunny WebBox is only to be operated using the supplied plug-in power supply and in the voltage
range intended for this.
The Sunny WebBox must be continuously supplied with current.
• Do not operate the Sunny WebBox using a timer.
The Sunny WebBox is only to be used with original accessories or recommended accessories
approved by SMA Solar Technology AG.
Only use the Sunny WebBox for the purposes described in this manual.
For safety reasons, it is not permitted to modify the product or install components that are not explicitly
recommended or distributed by SMA Solar Technology AG for this product.
The enclosed documentation is part of this product.
• Read and observe the documentation.
• Keep the documentation in a convenient place for future reference.

•SMA Bluetooth Repeater
•Sunny SensorBox with SMA Power Injector with Bluetooth
• SMA radio-controlled socket
Updating the firmware of SMA products
In order for Bluetooth communication to function correctly in the plant, the firmware of the
SMA products must be completely up to date.
• Before commissioning the Sunny Web Box , up dat e th e fi rmw are of the SMA products
(see the manuals of the SMA products).
2.1.2 Target Group
This document is intended for end users and skilled persons. When you log in to the Sunny WebBox
there are two user groups at your disposal, "Installer" and "User". The "Installer" user group may only
be used by qualified personnel who are authorised to make changes to grid-relevant parameters for
the connected devices.

• Firefox from version 3.6
2.2 Safety Precautions
General safety precautions in order to avoid physical injury
• Do not open the device or the plug-in power supply.
• Install the cabling in such a way that no one can stand on or trip over it.
General information for preventing property damage
• By touching electronic components, you can cause damage to or destroy the device through
electrostatic discharge (ESD). Avoid touching component connections and plug contacts.
Earth yourself before working on the device.
• With the help of the Sunny WebBox with Bluetooth you can change safety-related parameters
of the SMA inverters (e.g. SMA Grid Guard parameters). Incorrectly configured parameters
can lead to yield losses. Do not alter these safety-relevant parameters without prior consultation
with your power supply company operating the electricity grid into which your plant feeds.
• The saving procedure for parameters can take up to 30 seconds. Do not disconnect the
Sunny WebBox with Bluetooth from the voltage supply during the save procedure. If you
disconnect the Sunny WebBox from the voltage supply during the save procedure, data may
be lost.

4 Product Description
4.1 Sunny WebBox with Bluetooth
The Sunny WebBox with Bluetooth is a communication device that records and logs the data of a
PV plant and makes it available via a user interface using the integrated web server. Additionally, the
Sunny WebBox can be used for remote diagnosis and the configuration of connected devices in a
PV plant via the computer.
The Sunny WebBox can continuously request and evaluate the data of the connected devices.
The query interval for the data of the entire PV plant is five minutes. If you display data via the user
interface of the Sunny WebBox, the currently displayed data will be requested every 20 seconds.
If the connection to the PV plant is broken, the Sunny WebBox re-establishes the connection as soon
as this is possible.
The Sunny WebBox can automatically send the PV plant data to the Sunny Portal Internal portal or a
freely selectable FTP server for further processing. In addition, you can present your plant data via the
Sunny Matrix large view or the FlashView software.
You can use a Power Reducer Box together with the Sunny WebBox in order to involve the plant in
grid management. The Sunny WebBox can receive the requirements of the network operator via the
Power Reducer Box and forward them to the inverters in the PV plant.
Installation Manual SWebBox20-IA-en-12 13
Product Description SMA Solar Technology AG
The Sunny WebBox has the function of a grid-forming device (master device) in the Bluetooth plant.
Master devices are communication products which form the structure of the Bluetooth PV plant and
collect, evaluate and process data. Unlike other master devices, the Sunny WebBox can establish up
to five uplinks, meaning that it can directly connect to five devices simultaneously. It can also assume
the function of a slave/root node and be involved in establishing a Bluetooth network. In this way,
the Sunny WebBox can connect multiple groups of inverters to one another that would not otherwise
have had a Bluetooth connection.
The number of devices which the Sunny WebBox can manage depends on the number of master
devices in the Bluetooth network with the same NetID. If the Sunny WebBox is the only Master in the
Bluetooth network, the Sunny WebBox can manage up to 50 devices. If two masters are present in
the Bluetooth netw ork (e. g. S unn y Exp lor er o r Sun ny B eam wit h Bluetooth), a maximum of 25 devices
can be managed by the Sunny WebBox. A maximum of one Sunny WebBox with Bluetooth is
allowed in a Bluetooth network with the same NetID. Additional information about SMA Bluetooth
Wireless Technology can be found in the download area at www.SMA-Solar.com.
