Intended Use
The SMA Storage M battery system is a modular standalone storage. It consists of a central battery management unit (BMS, type STM-BMS-10) and battery modules of type STM-BM-4.09.-10.
For the intended operation of the system, exactly one BMS unit in conjunction with a minimum of three and a maximum of twelve battery modules must be installed and operated. The minimum configuration of the system must consist of one BMS unit and three battery modules.
The system may only be expanded by adding battery modules of type STM-BM-4.09-10. Do not exceed the total number of twelve battery modules. Operation with fewer than three or more than twelve battery modules is not approved and therefore not permitted.
The maximum number of battery modules also depends on the specific inverter being used. The thresholds and connection conditions specified in the related technical documentation of the inverter must be observed.
Operating the battery system outside of these specifications, in particular by exceeding the permitted number of modules or using unapproved components, constitutes improper use and is prohibited.
For the operation of the SMA Storage M battery system only the inverter types listed below are approved. The maximum number of battery modules each permitted must be observed:
Sunny Boy Smart Energy 3.6 / 4.0 / 5.0 / 6.0 / 8.0 / 9.9 (SBSExx-50)
Supports a maximum of 7 battery modules
Corresponds to: SMA Storage M 28.7
Sunny Tripower Hybrid X 5 / 6 / 8 / 10 / 12 / 15 (STPHxx-60)
Supports a maximum of 9 battery modules
Corresponds to: SMA Storage M 36.9
Sunny Tripower Hybrid X 20 / 25 / 30 (STPHxx-70)
Supports a maximum of 12 battery modules
Corresponds to: SMA Storage M 49.1
The SMA Storage M can be used for home applications such as increased self-consumption and peak load shaving.
The communication interface of the inverter used must be compatible with the product. The entire voltage range must be completely within the permissible input voltage range of the inverter. The maximum permissible DC input voltage of the product must not be exceeded.
No additional loads or components in the DC connection may be connected between the battery and inverter.
The product is suitable for indoor and outdoor use.
The product must only be used as stationary equipment.
All components must remain within their permitted operating ranges and their installation requirements at all times.
The product is not suitable for supplying life-sustaining medical devices. A power outage must not lead to personal injury.
The product must only be used in countries for which it is approved or released by SMA Solar Technology AG and the grid operator.
