Modbus data interface – To query inverter data. Further information can be found in the Modbus profile description in the download area.
Sunny Central firmware updates – The Sunny Central firmware can be updated via the web interface of the Sunny WebBox, thus avoiding servicing on-site.
Simplified device exchange – As of now, the deletion of both the portal buffer and the channel list, which is necessary during device exchanges, can also be done at the "Installer" access level.
Simplified error analysis – Error codes are shown on the web interface with an error description and information on error elimination.
Support of new device types – Updates for the devices supported; device types to follow can be loaded using an SD card.
