SMA Home Energy Solutions

Manage and distribute solar energy

Match your available solar perfectly with your energy usage

Manage and distribute solar energy

The SMA Home Energy Solutions combine all energy flows from all your appliances to create an intelligent system to help you get the most out of your solar power. On the basis of an online weather forecast and analysis of your energy consumption, the system creates a day-by-day yield forecast. As a result, the Sunny Home Manager 2.0 knows in advance exactly when a lot of solar power will be available and when the right time is to start the washing machine.

Benefits

Up to 60% lower energy costs

Use more solar power through intelligent energy management

Save money and live more sustainably without sacrificing comfort or convenience

Combine all household loads in a single system

An Example

Thanks to the SMA Home Energy Solutions, you can manage your own solar power so that as much free solar power as possible is used.

It is early morning and the sun is already shining. Your PV system starts to charge your battery-storage system since no energy is being used.

07:00
Late in the morning, the sky is clouding over. However, thanks to the weather forecast, your system knows that sufficient power will be available to start the washing machine in one hour and thus suggests that you continue to charge the battery instead of starting the washing machine.

12:30
Your SMA energy system has learned that food is cooked at midday. If it is at all possible, cooking is to be powered by solar power. The sunny home manager shows that the washing machine should be run only after cooking is finished. Since the PV system cannot currently supply sufficient solar power, the cooker is powered from the storage system.

16:00
When the washing machine has finished its cycle, your battery continues to be re-charged — until it is full. Only the solar power that you do not require and that you cannot save is fed into the utility grid. This ensures that you use as much of your self-generated solar power as possible –this is the most cost-effective solution.

In the evening, the power required for cooking dinner, watching television and surfing the Internet is drawn from the solar storage system. Only when this is empty is power used and purchased from the utility grid.
