Sunny Portal: Đăng Ký Tài Khoản Sunny Webbox

You can present data from your PV plant in Sunny Portal using the Sunny WebBox. The Sunny Portal monitors the PV plant and displays the yield and power output. In addition, Sunny Portal can send useful reports via e-mail. Depending on your Sunny WebBox version, you can transmit data to Sunny Portal using a variety of connection types (e.g. analogor ISDN or DSL router). If the Sunny WebBox is unable to connect to the Sunny Portal, the Sunny WebBox will store the collected plant data in a ring buffer. The Sunny WebBox transmits the data to Sunny Portal with the next data upload. If the ring buffer is full, the Sunny WebBox will overwrite the oldest data. The time the ring buffer can bridge depends on the device type and number of the detected devices.

Note:
Possible delays in the visualisation
Evaluating the collected data takes time. Please note that it can take several minutes for Sunny Portal to display the data of your PV plant.

The procedure for registering the Sunny WebBox in the Sunny Portal is described below.

Procedure:

1. Log into the user interface of the Sunny WebBox

2. Select “WebBox > Settings > Data transmission” in the user interface.

3. Enter the name of your plant in the “Plant name” field. Sunny Portal displays the name of your plant.

Sunny Portal sends the access data to the e-mail address you entered in the “Operator e-mail” field. You are now registered in Sunny Portal.
If you have already registered at Sunny Portal with the same plant (which may be the case, for instance, when exchanging the data logger), you have to adjust the plant identifier in the “Plant identifier” field.
