Planning Mounting Locations

The following products within the SMA Home Energy Solution with battery-backup function impose requirements on the installation site which must be taken into account at the planning stage:

Sunny Island 4.4M / 6.0H / 8.0H with:

• Battery

• Battery fuse

• Automatic transfer switching device with Sunny Home Manager 2.0

Sunny Boy Smart Energy 3.6 / 4.0 / 5.0 / 6.0 / 8.0 / 9.0 with:

• Battery

• Battery-backup power supply and automatic switchover device SMA Backup 1P

• Battery-backup power supply and automatic switchover device SMA Backup 3P Kit

Sunny Tripower 5.0 / 6.0 / 8.0 / 10.0 Smart Energy with:

• Battery

The following points should be considered as early as the planning stage:

• The minimum clearances to walls, objects, SMA products or other technical devices must be complied with.

• The ambient conditions at the planned deployment sites must meet the requirements the individual products place on the mounting locations.

• The maximum cable routes and radio ranges between the listed SMA products and to other devices must be feasible.

• The cable cross-sections and conductor materials of the planned cables must meet the requirements of the listed products.

• The battery room must meet the requirements of the battery manufacturer.

• Only when using the Sunny Island with a lead-acid battery: A battery fuse must be installed between the DC connection of the Sunny Island and the battery (for the requirements for the battery fuse see the inverter operating manual).
