Everything at a Glance
Sunny Portal visualizes all yield data conveniently and concisely:
- Live system status data
- Information about current energy flow (purchased electricity, battery charging)
- Monitors communication to the portal
- Monitors inverter performance
- Weather information for location
Visualized Energy Yields
Sunny Portal offers specialist views of the energy yields, taking into consideration the requirements of different system types. The Sunny Portal features optimal possibilities for analyzing measured values and visualizing yields, whether you need a data table or a diagram.
Always Up to Date
The reporting functions provide reliable updates via e-mail and therefore help ensure yields. Users automatically receive information about their system yields and performance at regular intervals (daily or monthly). If needed, Sunny Portal users can also receive events such as inverter status information.
The Right Solution for Every Need
Whether for residential systems or commercial PV systems, centralized management and monitoring of PV systems saves time and money. With Sunny Portal and the Sunny Portal Professional Package, PV system operators and installers can always view key data. Private PV system operators can also use the SMA Community Portal Sunny Places to exchange and compare PV system data with other users.

Perfect Partner for Trendsetting Monitoring
Combined with the new Sunny Portal powered by ennexOS, the Data Manager M from SMA optimizes communication for state-of-the-art PV system monitoring.
The Data Manager M and the new Sunny Portal interact perfectly. Their almost identical intuitive user interfaces are every bit as important here as the capability for seamless remote parameterization.
In connection with the new Sunny Portal powered by ennexOS, the new Data Manager M makes work processes easier and thus enables viable online monitoring for an entire PV system portfolio.
Which Portal?
Sunny Portal is a highly successful, global online monitoring portal with functions for monitoring with the SMA Cluster Controller, Sunny Home Manager 2.0 for inverters with integrated Webconnect technology and its predecessors with the Sunny WebBox.
Private end users and professional PV system monitors and installers alike can use Sunny Portal’s vast range of features for monitoring anything from small residential PV systems to large PV power plants.
Sunny Places offers a dedicated interface designed explicitly for the requirements of private residential PV system owners, who can use the functions available with Sunny Places to monitor the PV system status, gain information and share data with other PV system owners.
Sunny Portal powered by ennexOS is an enhancement of Sunny Portal and focuses on the requirements of professional users and installers to offer customers the best possible service and to be ready for future demands.
Sunny Portal powered by ennexOS is initially available in combination with SMA’s Data Manager M and will be gradually rolled out for all future technologies. The existing PV systems registered in the Sunny Portal will be seamlessly transferred to the new system.
