Device function

It is possible to use and configure the Sunny Tripower Storage X either as a system manager or as a subordinate inverter.

When using a Sunny Tripower Storage X as System Manager, you can integrate up to 10 additional devices in a system (supported devices: SMA EV Charger Business, PV inverter, Sunny Tripower Storage and SMA Commercial Energy Meter).

You carry out the device configuration via the commissioning wizard.

Inverter as System Manager

If you configure the inverter as System Manager, the inverter as a superordinate device in conjunction with an energy meter takes over the control at the point of interconnection and can receive control signals. The inverter can control other subordinate devices, takes over the monitoring of the system and the communication to the Sunny Portal powered by ennexOS.

Subordinate device

If you configure the inverter as a subordinate device, it does not take over control. The subordinate inverter receives specifications from the System Manager (e.g., an SMA Data Manager M) and implements them. Before a subordinate device can be recorded in a System Manager, you must commission all subordinate devices.

Currently, only the EDMM-20 (SMA Data Manager M) supports the Sunny Tripower Storage X as a subordinate device.
