2 Sunny WebBox
As the central communication interface, the Sunny WebBox connects the PV plant and its operator.
The Sunny WebBox collects and documents all data of the connected devices, thus permitting
interruption-free monitoring of the PV plant. The Sunny WebBox provides the operator with all
recorded data via an Internet connection.
The Flashview presentation software and the Sunny Portal website can be used to edit data or
graphically display stored data. Both presentation programs are freely available on the
www.SMA-America.com or the www.SunnyPortal.com websites.
This means that operators can see the yields from their plant both in the local network and via the
Internet at any time using Flashview and the Sunny Portal. Data can also be viewed with the large
Sunny Matrix display, which is suitable for both indoor and outdoor installation.
The Sunny WebBox is also a powerful tool for operators when configuring plants or performing
remote diagnostics via computer. It allows continuous monitoring of the PV plant and early detection
of disturbances. Thus, the Sunny WebBox helps to optimize PV plant yields.

SMA America, LLC Sunny WebBox
User Manual SWebBox-BUS-eng-111033 15
Operators can expand large-scale PV plants, which must contribute to the distribution grid operator's
feed-in management, accordingly using the Sunny WebBox. If the Power Reducer Box is connected,
the Sunny WebBox will record the requirements of the distribution grid operator and forward them to
the inverter. The Sunny WebBox informs the operator of the requirements of the distribution grid
operator.
The Sunny SensorBox allows the operator to further expand his plant via the Sunny WebBox. The
Sunny SensorBox records the environmental data relevant to performance monitoring at the PV plant.
For this purpose, the Sunny SensorBox has an integrated irradiation sensor as well as an external
module temperature sensor. The operator can also connect an optional ambient temperature sensor
and a wind sensor to the Sunny SensorBox. Further information on monitoring your PV plant and SMA
products can be found on the Internet at www.SMA-America.com.

Safety-relevant parameters
You can change the safety-related inverter parameters of your PV plant using the
Sunny WebBox. Incorrectly set parameters can cause connected inverters to deactivate.
This results in yield losses. Usually, these safety-relevant parameters may only be changed
upon consultation with the electric utility company into whose grid you are feeding. In case
of doubts, contact your electric utility company.
