## What is SMA Energy?

Thanks to the SMA Energy app, you can see all the most important data relating to your SMA Energy System in a clearly structured format. You can intelligently manage energy flows in your household or charge your electric vehicle – sustainably with your own solar power or at high speed if you’re in a hurry. Thanks to the SMA Energy app, you can have your own personal energy transition in your pocket.

* Energy system at a glance, wherever you are * 

In the visualization area, you can find all the most important energy and power data for your SMA Energy System. Whether daily, weekly, monthly or yearly, you can see exactly how much electricity your PV system produces, what it was used for and how much grid-supplied power you have remaining. This enables you to keep constant track of your energy budget.

* Optimizing and managing energy flows *  

In the optimization area, you can view current forecasts for solar power production. The app shows you how to use your energy even more sustainably. For example, you can automatically utilize your own, self-generated solar power as efficiently as possible for your own needs and reduce your grid-supplied power.

* Charging electric vehicles *  

Do you drive an electric vehicle and want to refuel it with your own solar power using the SMA EV Charger charging solution? In the e-mobility area, you can control your car’s charging process easily and efficiently. You can choose between two charging modes: Forecast-based charging enables charging at minimal cost and with the peace of mind that your vehicle will be ready to go when you need it by configuring a charging target; optimized charging means intelligent charging of the vehicle with self-generated solar power.

Thanks to the SMA Energy app, you can use your self-generated solar power from your SMA Energy System in a highly sustainable manner and optimize your energy budget. The app is your perfect companion for the energy transition at home and the mobility transition on the road.

### 1/5 — App

*2026-08-11, version 1.33*

Rubbish support. Happy to receive payment for installation but no support when things go wrong.

### 1/5 — No internet problem

*2026-08-11, version 1.33*

Keeps dropping off the server. Status indicates connection OK green tick but does not give readings for today. All history readings are there and OK.

### 3/5 — Ms.

*2026-08-09, version 1.33*

Doesn’t show the consumption amount so can’t tell what’s the usage vs energy harvested.

### 3/5 — Ned to improve

*2026-08-07, version 1.33*

Need to improve all option monitoring and hardware side status

### 1/5 — App not working!

*2026-07-31, version 1.33*

Wish it would. I spent $7k on a new inverter.

### 1/5 — App is terrible

*2026-07-22, version 1.33*

Haven’t been able to get it to work for months. All it shows is my instant energy production no past history no data at all. The app for my car charger gives more detail about what my solar panels are producing than this worthless app does.

### 5/5 — I love this app

*2026-07-18*

I really love this app.  I am rather a technophobe, and would have chosen a numerical readout of production on the inverter itself over "another app".  However-- I quickly grew to absolutely love the app.  It is so interesting to be able to see how much energy is being used at any given time.  I have had moments in the evening when my panels were almost-- but not quite-- powering the house, and I went through turning off unused lights and got back to net generation!  It is informative and beyond that-- fun!  Very reinforcing.  

It is also really great to be able to see the history. Here in hot and humid New Orleans, my panels produce a surplus in the winter that builds up credit (we have net metering) that can then be used in the summer to power air conditioning.  The app allows me to see exactly how much of a surplus I have generated so I can predict whether the extra use will be covered by the winter credits.

**Developer response:** Hello cla504, thank you for your really positive and heartwarming feedback. We are delighted, that you grew to love the app and the monitoring options it gives you. We continously work on improvements and would love to hear some ideas from you, how we could improve the app. We look forward to hear you creative suggestions. Sunny greetings, your SMA App-Team!

### 1/5 — Server issues and SMA lacking support

*2026-07-11, version 1.33*

We installed a PV solar system in 2011 and invested in extra equipment for monitoring, including the SMA weather station, the SMA Webbox, and more. Ever since, SMA keeps discontinuing systems and retiring services. The full system monitoring we paid for about 15 years is pretty much useless now while it’s supposed to have a 30 year lifetime.

When you purchase a new PV system, think twice before investing in something that barely lasts 15 years. Sunny Webbox and the SMA monitoring is pretty much useless after 15 years at a time when it really matters.

### 5/5 — Provides awesome real time information

*2026-07-06, version 1.32*

Been a user for 8 years and this app is very reliable to say the least. Provides great system functionality!

### 1/5 — App broken

*2026-07-04, version 1.32*

App hasn’t worked for a while. Uninstalling and reinstalling doesn’t fix it. Just broken and the developers don’t seem to care or make much of an effort to fix
