pets, personnel numbers, identification numbers, or car license plates.

11.2 Required Passwords
11.2.1 Sunny Portal Password
The Sunny Portal password protects your Sunny Portal access against unauthorized access. You can
log into Sunny Portal with the Sunny Portal password. If you register a plant in Sunny Portal, you must
specify a Sunny Portal password during registration. You can change the Sunny Portal password (see
Section 11.3.1).
11.2.2 Plant Password
Plant Password Basics
The safety concept for plants from Solar Technology AG generally distinguishes between two user
groups User and Installer. The user groups have different rights. The following plant passwords are
configured in the devices by default: User = 0000, Installer = 1111. You can only access all
devices of your plant with your communication product (e.g. Sunny Explorer) if the same plant
password has been set for all devices. You can find more information on the plant passwords and on
the user group and safety concept in the Sunny Explorer help.
Plant Password in Sunny Portal
For the registration of your plant, Sunny Portal requires the plant password for the Installer user
group. You entered the plant password when registering your plant in Sunny Portal.
You can use Sunny Portal to change the plant password for the Installer user group for all devices
that are registered in your Sunny Portal plant (see Section 11.3.2). The plant password for the User
user group cannot be changed in Sunny Portal. You can change the plant password for the User user
group with Sunny Explorer, for example (see Sunny Explorer help).
