Manipulation of system data in networks
You can connect the supported SMA products to the Internet. When connected to the Internet,
there is a risk that unauthorized users can access and manipulate the data of your system.
• Set up a firewall.
• Close unnecessary network ports.
• If absolutely necessary, only enable remote access via a virtual private network (VPN).
• Do not use the port forwarding feature. This also applies to the used Modbus ports.
• Disconnect system components from other network components (network segmentation).
High costs due to inappropriate Internet tariff
Depending on use, the data volume of the product transferred via the Internet may vary in size.
The data volume depends, for example, on the number of devices in the system, the frequency of
device updates, the frequency of data transfer to Sunny Portal or the use of FTP push. High costs
for the Internet connection can be the result.
• SMA Solar Technology AG recommends using an Internet flat rate.
Damage to the product due to cleaning agents
