2.1 Intended Use
SunnyHomeManager
The SunnyHomeManager is the central device responsible for energy management in households with a PV system
for self-consumption. The SunnyHomeManager carries out the following basic tasks:
• Collection of energy- and power measured values in the interconnected household
• Energy monitoring: Presentation of energy flows via SunnyPortal
• Energy management: Automatic control of interconnected household loads with the aim of energy efficiency
optimization
• Dynamic limiting of the active power feed-in
• Active power measurement via integrated measuring unit with direct connection up to 63A limiting current
• Use of current transformers necessary for applications above 63A
• Interconnection of loads via EEBus and SEMP
• Support of the smart plug switches Edimax SP-2101W to firmware version 2.03 and Edimax SP-2101W V2 from
firmware version 1.00
The SunnyHomeManager2.0 does not support S0 or D0 energy meters, Plugwise products or Miele@home devices.
The SunnyHomeManager is not equipped with a BLUETOOTH interface. The SunnyHomeManager is not an energy
meter for power consumption in the sense of the EU directive 2004/22/EG (MID). The SunnyHomeManager may
not be used for billing purposes. The data collected by the SunnyHomeManager relating to the power generated by
your PV system may deviate from the data of the main energy meter, which is used for billing purposes.
The SunnyHomeManager may only be connected to the subdistribution of the household on the load side behind the
energymeter of the electric utility company. The SunnyHomeManager must be installed in a switch cabinet.
It is possible to use the SunnyHomeManager in delta IT grids. When using the SunnyHomeManager in delta IT
grids, the cumulative power values are correctly measured. Due to the measuring principle of the
SunnyHomeManager, other measured values may be incorrect.
The SunnyHomeManager is approved for use in all EU member states and Australia.
Use this product only in accordance with the information provided in the enclosed documentation and with the locally
applicable standards and directives. Any other application may cause personal injury or property damage.
Alterations to the product, e.g. changes or modifications, are only permitted with the express written permission of
SMA Solar Technology AG. Unauthorized alterations will void guarantee and warranty claims and in most cases
terminate the operating license. SMA Solar Technology AG shall not be held liable for any damage caused by such
changes.
Any use of the product other than that described in the Intended Use section does not qualify as the intended use.
The enclosed documentation is an integral part of this product. Keep the documentation in a convenient place for
future reference and observe all instructions contained therein.
The type label must remain permanently attached to the product.
SunnyPortal
SunnyPortal serves as the user interface for configuring the SunnyHomeManager and the loads. SunnyPortal
transmits the configurations to the SunnyHomeManager. The SunnyHomeManager transmits the configuration to the
radio-controlled sockets. In this way, the loads are able to be switched on and off via SunnyPortal.
SunnyPortal (www.SunnyPortal.com) is an Internet portal which allows you to monitor systems and to visualize and
present system data.
SunnyPortal visualizes data and energy balances of selected loads in the household.
2 Safety
SMA Solar Technology AG
Operating Manual 9HM-20-BE-en-10

SunnyPortal visualizes data from components of the SMASmartHome, the SMAFlexibleStorageSystem and the
SMAIntegratedStorageSystem. In addition, data from battery management systems can be displayed in clearly
arranged diagrams.

2Safety SMA Solar Technology AG
Operating ManualHM-20-BE-en-1010

Risk of injury and fire due to unintentional and unattended switching on of loads
Loads that are switched on via a radio-controlled socket unintentionally and while unattended can cause injuries and
fires (e.g. an iron).
• Do not connect any loads to the radio-controlled socket that could endanger persons or cause damage if
unintentionally switched on.
Damage to loads
Frequently switching a load on and off can damage it.
• Ask the load manufacturer whether the load is suitable for control via a radio-controlledsocket.
• Configure the radio-controlledsocket so that the load connected is not switched on or off more frequently than
specified by the load manufacturer.
• Do not connect any loads to the radio-controlledsocket if they require a continuous current supply.
Damage to the product due to moisture
The product is not splash-proof (IP20). Moisture can penetrate the product and damage it.
• Only use the product in a dry, indoor environment.
Damage to the product due to condensation
If the product is moved from a cold environment to a warm environment, condensation may form in the product.
• When there is a large temperature difference, wait for the product to reach room temperature before
connecting to the voltage supply.
• Make sure the product is dry.
2.3 Supported Products
Maximum number of devices
The SunnyHomeManager supports a maximum of 24 devices.
The term device includes all components that exchange data with the SunnyHomeManager, i.e. SMA inverters, radio-
controlled sockets, and smart loads. The SMAEnergyMeter is not included in these devices.
Of the 24 devices, a maximum of 12 devices may be actively controlled by the SunnyHomeManager.
Actively controlled means that the SunnyHomeManager not only displays the consumption of the device, but actively
switches the device. Even if the limit of a maximum of 12devices is reached, further devices can be monitored via
radio-controlled sockets and visualized, so long as the maximum number of devices of 24 is not exceeded.
2 Safety
SMA Solar Technology AG

Devices from other manufacturers
Inverters
Inverters from other manufacturers can be integrated in PV systems with SunnyHomeManager provided that the
following requirements are met:
☐ The power output of the inverters must be captured via a separate SMAEnergyMeter or the integrated
measuring device of the SunnyHomeManager.
☐ The SMAEnergyMeter or the integrated measuring device of the SunnyHomeManager must be configured in
SunnyPortal as a PV production meter (for information on the configuration of energy meters, see the user manual
"SunnyHomeManager in SunnyPortal").
☐ 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 SunnyHomeManager system, the SunnyHomeManager will no longer query the power
data of the SMA inverters directly from the inverters via 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 meter
For the output measurement at the grid-connection point:
• Integrated measuring device of the SunnyHomeManager
For a separate PV generation measurement:
• SMAEnergyMeter
Router
SMA Solar Technology AG recommends the use of a router that supports DHCP. Should problems occur while
registering in the network, SMA Solar Technology AG recommends the "HomeManagerAssistant" software (available
free of charge in the download area at www.SMA-Solar.com).
All network components used must support the IGMP protocol, minimum version3 (IGMPv3).

Ethernet
Readout of energy meter data and data from SMAdevices with Speedwire communication
interface and from compatible radio-controlled sockets/radio-controlled switches
The SunnyHomeManager reads out the data of the connected energy meters and SMA devices.
The SunnyHomeManager controls the radio-controlled sockets, which are registered in the local network.
The SunnyHomeManager can manage and control several inverters with Speedwire as one PV system.
The SunnyHomeManager establishes the connection to Speedwire devices, home loads with direct data connection
and radio-controlled sockets via a router/network switch in the local network.
SMA inverters are either fitted with Speedwire ex works or can be retrofitted accordingly (see product page of the
respective inverter at www.SMA-Solar.com).
PV System Monitoring and Parameterization via SunnyPortal
SunnyPortal serves as the user interface of the SunnyHomeManager. The SunnyHomeManager establishes the
Internet connection to SunnyPortal via a router and sends the read-out data to SunnyPortal.
Using SunnyPortal, the SunnyHomeManager 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 SunnyHomeManager uses this to derive 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 SunnyHomeManager make it possible to increase the self-consumption quota:
Function Explanation
Creation of a PV yield forecast The SunnyHomeManager continuously logs the energy generated by the PV
system. The SunnyHomeManager also receives location-based weather fore-
casts via the Internet.
Based on this information, the SunnyHomeManager creates a PV yield forecast
for the PV system.
Creation of a load profile The SunnyHomeManager logs data on PV generation, grid feed-in and pur-
chased electricity. Based on PV generation, grid feed-in and purchased electric-
ity, the SunnyHomeManager determines how much energy is typically con-
sumed at which 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 SunnyHomeManger receives the measured data for PV generation, grid
feed-in and purchased electricity via the installed SMAEnergyMeter, the inte-
grated measuring device or from the inverters directly via the data connection.

Operating ManualHM-20-BE-en-1018

Function Explanation
Control of radio-controlled sock-
ets
Specific loads connected to radio-controlled sockets can be switched on and off
by the SunnyHomeManager. The SunnyHomeManager uses the yield forecast
and the load profile to determine favorable time periods for optimization of inter-
nal power supply and self-consumption. In accordance with the PV system opera-
tor's specifications and taking the determined time periods into account, the
SunnyHomeManager controls the switching on and -off of the loads.
Furthermore, radio-controlled sockets provide the option of individually monitor-
ing and recording the energy consumption of loads.
Direct control of devices via a
data exchange protocol
The SunnyHomeManager 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 en-
ergy demand to the SunnyHomeManager and the SunnyHomeManager allo-
cates the available energy to the device taking the PV yield forecast and the con-
sumption forecast into account. You can find out whether the data exchange pro-
tocol used by the device is supported by the SunnyHomeManager in the device
documentation or from the device manufacturer.
When used with SMA battery in-
verters: prevention of derating
losses
The SunnyHomeManager prevents derating losses which can arise due to the
limitation of active power feed-in. Taking the PV yield forecast and the consump-
tion forecast into account, the timing and duration of battery charging are con-
trolled and the battery charge is optimized according to the available energy
supply, if excess PV energy cannot otherwise be used.
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
SunnyHomeManager for this purpose (see the Manufacturer's Declaration "Feed-In Management in Accordance with
the Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG) 2012 with SunnyHomeManager (SHM) from SMA" available at
www.SMA-Solar.com). Using an SMAEnergyMeter, the SunnyHomeManager monitors the active power that is fed
into the utility grid. If the active power feed-in exceeds the prescribed limit, the SunnyHomeManager limits the PV
generation of the inverters accordingly.
The SunnyHomeManager avoids derating losses due to limitation of PV power generation by taking the current self-
consumption of the household into account. The SunnyHomeManager 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
SunnyHomeManager preferentially uses the derated active power to charge the battery.
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.
• 20% of the nominal PV system power is currently being consumed by loads in the household. The remaining
amount of 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 only10% 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 SunnyHomeManager reduces PV generation from the theoretically possible 90% of nominal PV
system power to80%. 70% of the nominal PV system power continues to be fed into the utility grid.

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 SunnyHomeManager can implement specifications for grid management services that the grid operator sends to
the SunnyHomeManager via Ethernet-based communication.
If required, ask your grid operator whether your PV system is required to implement grid management services.
