SMA Sunny Portal

Sunny Portal is the web portal from SMA Solar Technology AG for monitoring, analysing and configuring photovoltaic systems. SMA's product page says it runs on the ennexOS platform and that operators and installers can manage several systems from a single account. The dashboard shows live system status, energy flows, device status and yield, and a separate monitoring view adds a real-time energy balance split into consumers, sources and flows, with forecasts and electricity prices alongside.

A configuration area covers the whole energy system, including fixed or dynamic electricity tariffs. The company is registered in Niestetal, Germany. The page lists no prices, so cost depends on how SMA or an installer packages the service. A migration from the older Sunny Portal Classic is under way country by country, and not every older device is carried across.

• Live dashboard. The dashboard presents system status, energy flows, device status and PV performance and yield in one view, so an operator can see at a glance whether an installation is producing as expected.
• Real-time energy balance. The monitoring view breaks energy into consumers, sources and flows, with forecasts and electricity prices shown beside it. Device status and event lists sit in the same area for quick follow-up.
• Fault and behaviour analysis. An analysis function flags unwanted system behaviour and supports fault analysis. It works with AC and DC data, battery data and a 5-minute resolution, which gives enough detail to trace short-lived problems.
• Tariff and consumer settings. The configuration area handles settings for the whole energy system, electricity tariffs (fixed or dynamic) and the priority given to each consumer, so household or site behaviour can be tuned from the portal.
• Portfolio management for professionals. PV professionals get an overview of all registered systems, with grouping and portfolio management. Installers looking after many customers can work from one account instead of logging in per site.
• Cloud API. A Cloud API lets third-party applications use Sunny Portal data, and developer documentation is linked from the product page. The page does not list rate limits or fees for it.
• Energy Balance download. According to the April 2026 release notes on the product page, Energy Balance data can be downloaded for up to one year, which supports reporting outside the portal.

• An installer with many customer systems. The overview of all registered systems, grouping and portfolio management let an installer watch a customer base from one login and use the event lists to decide which site needs a visit first.
• A household with a battery and a dynamic tariff. Tariff settings, per-consumer prioritisation and the energy balance with forecasts and prices give a homeowner a place to see and adjust how stored and generated power is used.
• A technician diagnosing an underperforming plant. The analysis function with AC, DC and battery data at 5-minute resolution supports fault analysis, helping a technician separate a device fault from a normal dip in generation.

The product page describes functions rather than a step-by-step setup. It does say that systems with Webconnect inverters and Sunny Home Manager 2.0 are being moved to the new portal country by country, and that existing login credentials stay the same.

Anyone with an older installation should first check the device list on the page: Sunny WebBox, SMA Cluster Controller, SMA Inverter Manager and Sunny Home Manager 1.0 systems are not migrated, and Tigo components are no longer supported. Professionals can register several systems under one account for the portfolio view. Installation guidance, commissioning steps and any onboarding support are not described on the page we read.

SMA Solar Technology AG runs Sunny Portal on its ennexOS platform, with live status, energy flows, fault analysis at five-minute resolution and portfolio grouping for professionals. A Cloud API exists and ISO/IEC 27001 is stated.

Migration to the new portal is rolling out country by country, only 60 days of performance curves carry over, and several older gateway types, Cluster Controller among them, are not migrated. No prices appear.

SMA Sunny Portal is entry #11 of 14 in the solar monitoring platforms list: it follows Fronius Solar.web and comes before Enphase Enlighten. From place 4 the established names follow in their ranked order; we publish no numeric score.

SMA Sunny Portal is based in Germany; 4 of the 14 products here share its region, Europe.

Pricing as recorded: No prices, fees or trial terms stated on the product page.

The product page lists no prices, subscription fees, billing terms, free access or trial for Sunny Portal. We therefore cannot say whether the portal is included with SMA hardware, offered at no extra charge, or sold separately, and a buyer would need to ask SMA or the installer who supplied the equipment. Since the page also gives no currency or billing basis, any figure heard elsewhere should be confirmed in writing before it is relied on. One practical cost consideration is stated: during the migration only the last 60 days of performance curves are carried over, and older data stays accessible only briefly in Sunny Portal Classic, so history that matters should be exported in time.

Checked against sma.de/en/products/monitoring-control/sunny-portal for Best Solar Monitoring Platforms in 2026, review date 13 November 2026.

The portal covers monitoring, analysis and configuration.

Energy Balance data can be downloaded for up to one year, according to the April 2026 release notes.

Login credentials stay the same after migration, and older data remains open for a short time in Sunny Portal Classic.

The page gives no hosting location.

The page states that Sunny Portal holds ISO/IEC 27001 certification for information security. It does not describe where the data is hosted or whether it stays in a particular region, so data residency remains an open question.

Data can leave the portal in two stated ways: Energy Balance data can be downloaded for up to one year, and the Cloud API lets third-party applications read portal data. Migration carries over only the last 60 days of performance curves, with older data reachable briefly in Sunny Portal Classic. No retention policy or encryption detail is given on the page.
