PV Overvoltage

Check the string voltages again to make sure they are within the limits stated in section 5.1 ”Overview 
Connection Area” (page 14). If the input voltage is too high, contact the planner / installer of the PV 
generator for assistance. 
If despite checking the string voltages the LED signal occurs again when the PV generator is connected 
to the Sunny Boy, disconnect the PV generator from the Sunny Boy again and contact SMA Solar 
Technology (see section 13 ”Contact” (page 40)).

6.2 Blink Codes

NOTICE!
Excessive DC input voltage can destroy the Sunny Boy!

If the bottom yellow LED flashes four times at 
intervals of one second, the grid voltage and the 
PV generator must be immediately disconnected 
from the Sunny Boy! There is a danger of 
damage to the inverter resulting from excessive 
DC input voltage!
