6.7 Change Plant Time
The plant time refers to the date and time entered for a PV plant.
When commissioning your PV plant with a communication product (e.g., Sunny Explorer, Sunny Beam
with Bluetooth), the devices of the PV plant automatically assume the plant time of the communication
product. When additional communication products are added to the PV plant, the new
communication products automatically assume the existing plant time. All devices in the PV plant will
thus display the same plant time.
You will only need to change the plant time in Sunny Explorer if it is not correct. When changing the
plant time in a communication product, all inverters immediately apply the new plant time. Additional
communication products in the plant apply the plant time only after some time (7 hours max. later).
To change the plant time of all devices in the PV plant, proceed as follows:
1. In the menu bar, select "Options > Set plant time".
☑The "Plant time" dialog opens.
2. Select the current date in the "Date" field.
3. Select the current time in the "Time" field.
By activating "Daylight saving time" an hour will be added to the normal time (UTC + time zone).
4. Select the time zone in which the system is located in the "Time zone" field.
5. Select [OK].
☑ The plant time is set.
You can synchronize the plant time with the current time of your computer via the [Apply operating
system time] button.
