Intended Use

The Sunny Tripower Smart Energy is a transformerless hybrid inverter with 2 MPP trackers and a battery connection that feeds the direct current of the PV array into the connected battery or converts it to grid-compliant three-phase current and then feeds it into the utility grid. The Sunny Tripower Smart Energy also converts the direct current supplied by the battery into grid-compliant three-phase current. In a system with additional PV inverters, the Sunny Tripower Smart Energy can convert the three-phase current generated by the PV inverters into direct current and feed it into the battery.

The Sunny Tripower Smart Energy has a battery-backup function. In the event of a power outage, the Sunny Tripower Smart Energy can continue to supply selected circuits with power from the battery and PV system.

The product is suitable for indoor and outdoor use.

The product must only be operated with PV modules of protection class II in accordance with IEC 61730, application class A. The PV modules must be compatible with this product.

The product is not equipped with an integrated transformer and therefore has no galvanic isolation. The product must not be operated with PV modules whose outputs are grounded. This can cause the product to be destroyed. The product may be operated with PV modules whose frame is grounded.

The product must only be operated in connection with an intrinsically safe lithium-ion battery approved by SMA Solar Technology AG. An updated list of the batteries approved by SMA Solar Technology AG can be found in the technical information "Approved Batteries and Information on Battery Communication Connection" at www.SMA-Solar.com.

The battery must comply with the locally applicable standards and directives and must be intrinsically safe (see technical information "Safety Concept for Battery-Storage System" for detailed explanations regarding the safety concept of battery inverters by SMA Solar Technology AG).

The communication interface of the battery used must be compatible with the product. The entire battery voltage range must be completely within the permissible input voltage range of the product. The maximum permissible DC input voltage of the product must not be exceeded.

The product is not suitable for supplying life-sustaining medical devices. A power outage must not lead to personal injury.

All components must remain within their permitted operating ranges and their installation requirements at all times.

The products by SMA Solar Technology AG are not suitable for use in

  • Medical devices, in particular products for supplying life-support systems and machines,

  • Aircraft, the operation of aircraft, the supply of critical airport infrastructure and airport systems,

  • Rail vehicles, the operation and supply of rail vehicles and their critical infrastructure.

The above list is not exhaustive. Contact us if you are unsure whether products by SMA Solar Technology AG are suitable for your application.

The product must only be used in countries for which it is approved or released by SMA Solar Technology AG and the grid operator.

The product may only be operated with one of the energy meters approved by SMA Solar Technology AG. The following energy meters are allowed to be used when operating this product:

  • EMETER-20 (SMA Energy Meter)

  • HM-20 (Sunny Home Manager 2.0)

Use SMA products only in accordance with the information provided in the enclosed documentation and with the locally applicable laws, regulations, standards and directives. Any other application may cause personal injury or property damage.
