Looking at the SMA Solar web site and noticed an interesting bit of kit called the Sunny Home Manager which will be available in early 2012. Link can be found here SUNNY HOME MANAGER. SMA Solar Technology AG. It appears to be a sophisticated monitoring device that allows automatic switching on and off of appliances both remotely and automatically according to amount being generated. There is also another bit of kit called Sunny Backup which appears to be able to temporarily store excess power. Will be interested to know how much it will be. It seems to be the answer to many problems such as intelligently dumping excess power, remote monitoring and also capable of measuring what is being drawn from the grid as well. Worthwhile downloading the brochure from the site.
