6.2.3 Energy Balance
Requirements for displaying the page:
☐ At least one purchased electricity meter or one feed-in meter is connected to the
Sunny Home Manager.
The data on the page can only be completely displayed if at least the following energy meter types
are connected to the Sunny Home Manager.
• Feed-in meter
• Purchased electricity meter
The additionally required PV generation data will be determined either directly by the connected SMA
inverters or can be captured via an additional PV production meter in PV systems with
Sunny Home Manager. If a DC-coupled storage system is used (e.g. Sunny Boy Smart Energy),
you must not use a PV production meter. Instead, the PV generation data must always be read out
directly from the device, otherwise no differentiation between direct consumption and battery
charging or discharging will be possible.
Display with Battery
If a battery inverter is present in your PV system, you can select between the simplified view without
battery data and the detailed view with battery data.
• To display the data of the battery in the diagram and in the area Energy balance, activate the
checkbox Detailed view.
• To avoid displaying the data of the battery in the diagram and in the area Energy balance,
deactivate the checkbox Detailed view.
