Sunny Portal Registration for Sunny Boy US With Webconnect: Creating a PV System

Our newest Sunny Boy inverters are equipped with Webconnect/Speedwire functionality.  When registering a plant in Sunny Portal using Webconnect, the process is the same as the previous generation of Sunny Boy string inverters.  Registration is very straightforward – use the Plant Setup Assistant tab on the Sunny Portal homepage (www.sunnyportal.com) – see Figure 1.  Make sure you have the PIC and RID codes from the inverter – they are printed on the side of the connection unit.

Click Next on the first page, then on Step 1 of the Setup Assistant, enter user name/ password if you already have an account on Sunny Portal or create a new account – see Figure 2. It is recommended that you use a generic company email for all your plants such as monitoring@installer.com so that the account is not tied to a specific employee’s email address.

Create a new PV system name and a password for the plant in Step 2, then select Next – see Figure 3. Note that if the Sunny Boy inverter was configured using the built-in user interface during commissioning, then the password entered in this step must match the Installer password selected during that process. If the passwords do not match, then Sunny Portal will not be allowed to access the inverter data. Conversely, if no password was selected during commissioning, the password chosen in this step will now become the installer-level password for the user interface of the plant.

In Step 3, enter the PIC and RID codes from the side of the connection unit and select Identify – see Figure 4 for an example of what is shown after the inverter is successfully identified by Sunny Portal. Enter additional PIC and RID codes for more inverters or click Next to continue to Step 4. Note that the maximum number of inverters per Webconnect PV plant is four.

      Rozita – Please contact SMA Service at Service@SMA-America.com with the above information, and please include the Sunny Portal plant name if the site is registered. You likely will have to go through the device detection process in the Webbox to have it recognize the new Sensorbox, as outlined in Section 8.2 of the User Manual for RS485 Webbox – SUNNY WEBBOX – User Manual (sma.de).

    I’m trying to register a system, but I get on step 3 and it tells me: At present, no connection to the device is possible. Check the Internet connection of the device and try again.
    There are two Inverters on the same site, and i connected them to the local WLAN and it tells me connection is good. Then why does it tell me it cannot connect?

    My Sunny WebBox was installed in 2008 by a solar company that is no longer in business. I have sold the house where it is located and need to add the new owner’s info and remove mine. I do not know the original password that the installer used. Can you help me make the changes?
