The installer is the solar professional who installs devices and configures the system, ideally during commissioning, and then gives the end customer their own user login. SMA says its devices, including the Sunny Home Manager 2.0, must be installed by solar power professionals, and owners should go to their installer to have a defective unit replaced. To configure forecast-based battery charging in Sunny Portal you must log in as an installer, so owners who want it after commissioning have to contact their installer. When you create a Sunny Home Manager system, change the default Installer user group password 1111 to a common system password that applies to all devices. To commission or service Enphase IQ Battery and Sunlight Backup systems, installers must be certified. The company needs at least one person holding the IQ Battery Installer certification and at least one holding the IQ Battery Design certification. The installer should configure the Generac PWRmanager during installation. Later changes are made through the unit's built-in web interface. On FIMER inverters, export limitation can only be configured and enabled in the Installer for Solar Inverters mobile app, after all prerequisites have been completed. Resetting the password on an SMA device resets both the user password and the installer password.
