11.2 Required Passwords
11.2.1 Sunny Portal Password
The Sunny Portal password protects your Sunny Portal system from unauthorized access. You can log

11.2.2 System Password
System Password Basics
The security concept for systems from SMA Solar Technology AG generally distinguishes the two user
groups User and Installer. The user groups have different rights. The following system passwords
are configured in the devices by default: User = 0000, Installer = 1111. You will only be able to
access the devices of your system via communication product (e.g. Sunny Explorer) providing that the
same system password has been set for all devices. You can find more information on system
passwords and on the user group and security concept in the Sunny Explorer help.
System Password in Sunny Portal
For the registration of your system, Sunny Portal requires the system password for the user group
Installer. You entered the system password when registering your systems in Sunny Portal.
Via Sunny Portal you can change the system password of the user group Installer for all devices
registered in your Sunny Portal system (see Section 11.3.2). The system password for the user group
User cannot be changed in Sunny Portal. To change the system password for the user group User,
use e.g. Sunny Explorer (see Sunny Explorer help).
Changing default system passwords
Change the default system passwords for both user groups (user/installer) promptly in order
to prevent unauthorized access to your system.
