## Description

SMA Energy lets you view key data for your SMA Energy System in a clearly structured format. See energy and power data at a glance — daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly — and track how much electricity your PV system produces, how it’s used, and how much grid power remains, helping you stay within your energy budget.

In the optimization area, forecast-based charging enables charging at minimal cost and ensures your vehicle is ready when you need it by configuring a charging target; optimized charging means intelligent charging using self-generated solar. The e-mobility area with SMA EV Charger lets you control your car’s charging easily and sustainably for a smoother energy and mobility transition.

## Review summary

Users like the fresh UI and the live energy flow view, but repeatedly report unreliable server connections, missing or wrong data after updates, and limited core features (cost data, per-string data, exports, alerts). The Sunny Portal transition and UI changes have caused data visibility and login issues for many. Overall, core monitoring is appreciated when available, but reliability and feature gaps are the main negatives.

### Pros

- Visually appealing, fresh UI design.
- Live energy flow / real-time data visualization of production and energy meter.
- App responds to solar system events and provides data when available.

### Cons

- Unreliable connectivity: the app frequently cannot connect to SMA servers, with server error messages.
- Data and graphs become unreliable after updates: history is lost, current production values are incorrect, and graphs don’t refresh.
- Limited features: lack of energy cost display, per-string data, data export, and configurable alerts/notifications.
- UI overhaul issues since Sunny Portal transition: users report not seeing data or old data after changes and ongoing sync/login problems.
- Occasional login/authentication problems with the mobile app, sometimes requiring password resets or website access.
