SMA Australia Sunny Design PV plant design

SMA Solar Technology now offers easy and uncomplicated PV plant configuration via the internet. Plant planners and installers can now take full advantage of the improved functions of SMA’s Sunny Design software, worldwide and on the go, in any current browser without the need to download or install software.

The program calculates the perfect plant configuration using the most relevant information. SMA has made the improved version 3.0 of the design software available for online use in all current web browsers and mobile devices, a solution for tablet PCs and Apple products. Downloads and updates are no longer required as users always have the latest version of the software.

SMA claims they have designed a simple user interface in such a way that operates via touch. The software also recognises the hardware being used and automatically adapts the format of the user interface.

They have also added some content features including the ability to factor in energy storage systems, such as their own Sunny Backup, when creating self-consumption projections. The online tool also permits multistring design of different substrings with an MPP tracker. Registered SMA Sunny Portal users benefit from personalised access and online project management.

Sunny Design Web is available free of charge.
