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 "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.
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)
