SMA - Bèta-version: Sunny Boy Smart Energy

LIFEPOWR has launched a first Bèta version(*) for the SMA SBSE model.

The integration of this new SMA model is still in development.

(*) a Bèta-version is a testversion of a software version or application with known limitations and with limited testing so far.
For this reason the software may behave differently as expected. Feedback towards the developper is of great importance.
