Intended Use
The Sunny Boy Storage is a single-phase, AC coupled battery inverter for parallel grid operation.
The Sunny Boy Storage converts the direct current supplied by a battery into grid-compliant
alternating current. With a battery and an energy meter, the Sunny Boy Storage becomes a system
for increased self-consumption.
The product is suitable for indoor and outdoor use.
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 batteries approved by SMA Solar
Technology AG is available at www.SMA-Solar.com.
The battery must comply with the locally applicable standards and directives and must be
intrinsically safe (see technical information "SMA Flexible Storage System - Detailed explanations of
the safety concept" 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 product must only be used in countries for which it is approved or released by SMA Solar
Technology AG and the grid operator.
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.
Alterations to the SMA products, e.g., changes or modifications, are only permitted with the express
written permission of SMA Solar Technology AG. Unauthorized alterations will void guarantee and
warranty claims and in most cases terminate the operating license. SMA Solar Technology AG
shall not be held liable for any damage caused by such changes.
