Thanks to the SMA Energy app, you can see all the most important data relating to your SMA Energy System in a clearly structured format. You can intelligently manage energy flows in your household or charge your electric vehicle – sustainably with your own solar power or at high speed if you’re in a hurry. Thanks to the SMA Energy app, you can have your own personal energy transition in your pocket. * Energy system at a glance, wherever you are * In the visualization area, you can find all the most important energy and power data for your SMA Energy System. Whether daily, weekly, monthly or yearly, you can see exactly how much electricity your PV system produces, what it was used for and how much grid-supplied power you have remaining. This enables you to keep constant track of your energy budget. * Optimizing and managing energy flows * In the optimization area, you can view current forecasts for solar power production. The app shows you how to use your energy even more sustainably. For example, you can automatically utilize your own, self-generated solar power as efficiently as possible for your own needs and reduce your grid-supplied power. * Charging electric vehicles * Do you drive an electric vehicle and want to refuel it with your own solar power using the SMA EV Charger charging solution? In the e-mobility area, you can control your car’s charging process easily and efficiently. You can choose between two charging modes: Forecast-based charging enables charging at minimal cost and with the peace of mind that your vehicle will be ready to go when you need it by configuring a charging target; optimized charging means intelligent charging of the vehicle with self-generated solar power. Thanks to the SMA Energy app, you can use your self-generated solar power from your SMA Energy System in a highly sustainable manner and optimize your energy budget. The app is your perfect companion for the energy transition at home and the mobility transition on the road.

Great Features, but Time Zone Issue Needs Fixing

The SMA Energy app offers fantastic insights into my solar energy production, allowing me to track and monitor it with ease. It's been a game-changer in helping me stay informed about my energy usage. However, there's one significant hiccup: the time zone setting. Despite my efforts to adjust it, the app consistently displays my energy production from 4 PM to 3 AM the next day, which doesn't align with my actual time zone. It's frustrating because accurate time tracking is crucial for managing energy consumption effectively. I hope the developers address this issue soon, as it would greatly enhance the app's functionality and user experience. Overall, though, I'm pleased with the app's performance and eagerly await the fix for the time zone glitch.

Sunnyboy app was much better.

The app that download onto my phone does not look like the app in the pictures. I can’t find any way to add or change information that apparently was migrated over to this app from the Sonnyboy app. I have two arrays and this app only shows one. It gives me no way to see what each individual array is doing. If one of the arrays is not communicating I have no way of knowing which one it is. The Sunny boy app had much more comprehensive information. I think that if the app that downloaded onto my phone worked like the ones in the pictures and example shown online it would be much better.I wrote Sunnyboy app but meant to say Sunnyportal app. In response to the dev reply using the inverter tab I was able to monitor both inverters. There was a different color line on a graph which showed what each array was doing.The description of the new app says it has an extended range of functions. Not true on the app that I downloaded. The only thing I can do is look at current and daily total generation, and history. I have checked for updates and have the current version. There are only 2 buttons at the bottom of my app, dashboard and settings. There are 4 in the pictures of this app in the App Store. Maybe there are some extended range of functions in the two missing buttons. Put the old app and this one side by side and compare them, you will see. Honestly I hope you can make this new one better.

Hello Bring back Sunnyboy, Thank you for your Feedback and sorry for inconvenience.For live energy flows for two arrays, a Home Manager or Energy Meter is required in the system configuration.You advice about the pictures, will be forwarded to the dev-team. Sunny regards

BEWARE - All data gone!

BEWARE!! I had previously set this new app up to work along with Sunny Portal. Both were working fine some time ago - although, I must admit the old Sunny Portal app displayed more data than this new one and I always preferred and used the old one up until now. I signed into Sunny Portal today, first time in a while, to view my solar station’s stats and it said I had to use this one. So, I opened up this app and there was no data anymore. I was instructed to either create an account or transfer data. I tried to transfer, but it would not work. It did not except my credentials. Also data transfer does not appear to work for the PV system that I have; 2 Sunnyboy inverters with each having a Webconnect module (No batteries or Web box). When I entered the name of my system to be imported, it said it was not possible,So it would appear that all my historical data is gone! All I can say is it worked a while ago and now it does not. What am I supposed to do? Just a short update, as I did go into Sunny Portal on my Mac and I was able to see the current data as well as all historical data. So it appears that it is an iOS app issue. This new app needs to be able to import ALL existing Sunny Portal accounts!

I really love this app. I am rather a technophobe, and would have chosen a numerical readout of production on the inverter itself over "another app". However-- I quickly grew to absolutely love the app. It is so interesting to be able to see how much energy is being used at any given time. I have had moments in the evening when my panels were almost-- but not quite-- powering the house, and I went through turning off unused lights and got back to net generation! It is informative and beyond that-- fun! Very reinforcing. It is also really great to be able to see the history. Here in hot and humid New Orleans, my panels produce a surplus in the winter that builds up credit (we have net metering) that can then be used in the summer to power air conditioning. The app allows me to see exactly how much of a surplus I have generated so I can predict whether the extra use will be covered by the winter credits.
