Intended Use
Sunny Island
The Sunny Island is a battery inverter that controls the electrical energy balance in an off-grid system, in a battery-
backup system or in a system for increased self-consumption. In a battery-backup system, you can also use the
Sunny Island for increased self-consumption.
The product is suitable for indoor and outdoor use.
The Sunny Island is not suitable for supplying life-sustaining medical devices. A power outage must not lead to
personal injury.
The Sunny Island uses batteries for energy storage. The nominal voltage of the battery must correspond to the input
voltage on the DC connection. A fuse switch-disconnector (e.g., BatFuse) must be installed between the battery and the
Sunny Island. With lead-acid batteries, the battery room must be ventilated in accordance with the requirements of the
battery manufacturer and with the locally applicable standards and directives (see documentation of the battery
manufacturer).
If connecting a lithium-ion battery, the following must be observed:
• The lithium-ion battery must comply with the locally applicable standards and directives and be intrinsically safe.
• The battery management of the lithium-ion battery is compatible with the Sunny Island (see the technical
information at "List of Approved Lithium-Ion Batteries").
