SMA Solar Technology AG 2 Safety
To prevent personal injury and property damage and to ensure long-term operation of the product, read this section
carefully and observe all safety information at all times.
Danger to life from electric shocks due to live voltage and risk of injury from short-circuit currents
High voltages are present inside the Sunny Island inverter. When the enclosure lid is removed, live components can
be touched that can result in death or serious injury due to electric shock. Short-circuit currents in the battery can
cause heat build-up and electric arcs. Burns or eye injuries due to flashes may result.
• When carrying out any work on the electrical installation, wear suitable personal protective equipment.
• Switch off or disconnect the following components in the following order:
– Sunny Island
– The control and measurement voltages in the distribution board of the Sunny Island circuit breakers
– Load-break switch of the battery
• Ensure that the system cannot be reconnected.
• Open the enclosure lid of the Sunny Island and ensure that no voltage is present.
• Ground and short-circuit the AC conductors outside the Sunny Island inverter.
• Cover or isolate any adjacent live components.
Danger to life from electric shock due to damaged inverter

Operating a damaged inverter can lead to hazardous situations that can result in death or serious injuries due to
electric shock.
• Only use inverter when it is technically faultless and in an operationally safe state.
• Check the inverter regularly for visible damage.
• Make sure that all external safety equipment is freely accessible at all times.
• Make sure that all safety equipment is in good working order.
Risk of crushing injuries due to moving PV array parts

Moving parts in the PV array can crush or sever body parts. A generator can be started automatically by the
Sunny Island.
• Operate the generator only with the safety equipment.
• Carry out work on the generator in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications.
Risk of burns due to short-circuit currents on the disconnected Sunny Island

The capacitors in the DC connection input area store energy. After the battery is isolated from the Sunny Island,
battery voltage is still temporarily present at the DC connection. A short circuit at the DC terminal can lead to burns
and may damage the Sunny Island inverter.
• Wait 15 minutes before performing any work at the DC terminal or on the DC cables. This allows the capacitors
to discharge.

Risk of burns due to hot components

Some components of the inverter can become very hot during operation. Touching these components can cause
burns. Heat build-up can cause burns.
• During operation, do not touch any parts other than the enclosure lid of the inverter.
• After opening the inverter, wait until the component parts have cooled down.
Damage to the inverter due to electrostatic discharge

Touching electronic components can cause damage to or destroy the inverter through electrostatic discharge.
• Ground yourself before touching any component.
2.3 Information on Handling Batteries

This section contains safety information that must be observed at all times when working on or with batteries.
To prevent personal injury or property damage and to ensure long-term operation of the batteries, read this section
carefully and observe all safety information at all times.
Danger to life due to explosive gases

Explosive gases may escape from the battery and cause an explosion. This can result in death or serious injury.
• Protect the battery environment from open flames, embers and sparks.
• Install, operate and maintain the battery in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications.
• Do not heat the battery above the temperature permitted or burn the battery.
• Ensure that the battery room is sufficiently ventilated.
Chemical burns and poisoning due to battery electrolyte

SMA Solar Technology AG 3 Product Description
3 Product Description
3.1 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.

Position Designation
A Ventilation grid
B Type label
C Control panel
D Enclosure lid
The Sunny Island supplies AC loads in the system from a battery or charges the battery with the energy provided by
AC sources (e.g., PV inverter). AC sources supply loads and are used by the Sunny Island to recharge the battery. In
order to be able to increase the availability of the off-grid system and reduce the battery capacity, the Sunny Island
can use and control a generator as an energy reserve.
The loads may temporarily overload the Sunny Island. If there is a short circuit, the Sunny Island briefly feeds short-
circuit currents into the utility grid. As a result, the Sunny Island may trip certain circuit breakers (for technical data see
installation manual of the Sunny Island inverter).
Type label
The type label clearly identifies the product. The type label is located on the right-hand side of the enclosure (for a
description of the type label, see the Sunny Island inverter operating manual).
You will require the information on the type label to use the product safely and when seeking customer support from
Service (see Section 16 "Contact", page 161).

10.2 Sunny Island Inverter Behavior Under Fault Conditions

Error Levels
The Sunny Island distinguishes between five different levels of errors, each requiring different user interaction.
Level Designation Display on the Explanation
Sunny Re-
mote Control
1 Warning Warning Warning; the Sunny Island continues to run. Information in standard
mode indicating that a warning has been generated.
2 Malfunction 1 Malfunction Malfunction that is detectable only during operation. The Sunny Island
shuts down. Restart can be initiated immediately (e.g. via autostart).
3 Malfunction 2 Malfunction Malfunction that is also detectable in standby mode. The Sunny Island
shuts down. Restart is blocked until the malfunction is no longer de-
tected by the Sunny Island.
4 Failure Failure Device failure; the Sunny Island switches off. Troubleshooting, acknowl-
edgment of the error and manual restart necessary.
5 Device defect Defect The Sunny Island is defective and switches itself off. The Sunny Island
must be replaced.
Handling of Pending Errors upon Activation

During the activation procedure, all pending errors are acknowledged without the error being logged in the list 420#
Error history. Errors that are still pending are entered again after activation. Errors that were detected by the
Sunny Island before activation and are no longer detected after activation are shown in the list 420# Error history.
Autostart
The autostart function allows automatic restarts in the event of malfunctions. If the autostart function fails in the event of
a malfunction, the Sunny Island attempts to carry out the next autostart immediately. The number of autostarts is
restricted. If the Sunny Island is in operation without malfunctions for ten minutes, it resets the autostart counter.
When the maximum number of autostarts has been reached, the Sunny Island reacts as follows:
• The Sunny Island waits ten minutes.
• The autostart counter is reset.
• The Sunny Island attempts to perform an autostart.
• When the maximum number of autostarts has been reached, the Sunny Island waits again for ten minutes.
10.3 Acknowledge Errors

If a malfunction or failure occurs, the Sunny Island switches to standby mode. Once you have eliminated the cause of
the error, you can enable a restart of the Sunny Island inverter by acknowledging the error.
Procedure:
1. Eliminate the cause.
2. Press the button on the Sunny Remote Control. This acknowledges the error.
3. Start the system (see Section 4.2, page 20).

10.6 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

10.6.1 Questions Regarding the Sunny Island
Why is the Sunny Island not switching off even though I have opened the load-break switch of
the BatFuse?
The Sunny Island may still be supplied from the AC side.
• Switch off all AC sources and disconnect them from the Sunny Island.
Why is the Sunny Island not switching to energy-saving mode?

Another function might have a higher priority than energy saving mode, e.g., equalization charge or full charge.
After automatic disconnection in battery protection mode, the Sunny Island can no longer be
started?
• Charge the battery only when the Sunny Island cannot be switched on (see Section 10.7 "Charging the Battery
After Automatic Shutdown in Off-Grid Systems (Emergency Charge Mode)", page 89).
– Switch off all loads.
– If there is a generator in the system, start the generator manually. When doing so, observe the warm-up time
of the generator. Five minutes without charge current can result in disconnection of the Sunny Island inverter.
– If sufficient power is available from the generator or the AC sources in the stand-alone grid, e.g., sufficient
solar irradiation for PV inverters, switch the Sunny Island on. AC sources in the stand-alone grid can start
feeding in electric current only once the Sunny Island has been started and is in operation.
10.6.2 Questions Regarding the Sunny Remote Control

The display of the Sunny Remote Control is dark and nothing is displayed – why?
The Sunny Island might not be switched on.
• Ensure that the fuse in the BatFuse is not defective and switch on the Sunny Island(see Section 4.1, page 20) .
The Sunny Remote Control might not be connected to the Sunny Island.
• Ensure that the Sunny Remote Control is connected to the Sunny Island.

The RJ45 data cable may be damaged.
• Replace the RJ45 data cable between the Sunny Remote Control and the Sunny Island.
Why can parameters not be changed?

It is possible that the parameter is displayed only in expert mode.
• Switch to expert mode on the Sunny Remote Control (see Section 5.4.1, page 32).
It might be possible to change the parameter only in standby mode or in the QCG.
• Observe the messages in the display (see Section 5.4.6, page 34).
The parameter may be hidden as it is not required in the configuration set for the system.
• Ensure that the configuration does not deactivate any functions which are required.

Why is "MMC/SD operation failed!" shown on the display?

An action with the SD memory card has failed.
• Use a computer to ensure that the SD memory card is free of errors.
• Ensure that the data cable between the Sunny Remote Control and the Sunny Island is undamaged and that the
plugs are firmly inserted into the pin connectors.
Why is the display showing "WRONG FILE SYSTEM"?

The SD memory card is not formatted with the FAT-16 or FAT-32 file system.
10.6.3 Questions Regarding the Battery

What happens if a battery is defective?
• Remove the defective battery cell from the battery system. This reduces the rated voltage of the battery by the
voltage of the battery cell.
• In the QCG, set the current rated voltage of the battery under New Battery (see Section 11.8 "Replacing the
Battery", page 97).
Why is the SOC of the battery not 100% after completion of full charge?
The power requirements of the loads might have been so high before completion of the full charge that the battery
could not be charged to 100 percent.
• If necessary, select the parameter 222.03 AptTmFul and set to a longer time period.
Why is the battery discharging even though the generator is running?

The Sunny Island may not have connected to the generator.
• Eliminate the cause (see Section 10.6.4 "Questions Regarding the Generator", page 87).
The power of the loads might exceed the power of the generator.
What do you need to do after replacing a battery current sensor?
• Calibrate the battery current sensor (see the Commissioning section in the Sunny Island inverter installation
manual).
10.6.4 Questions Regarding the Generator

Why is the Sunny Island not connecting to the running generator?
A high output power of the Sunny Island inverter when the battery state of charge is low may lead to the Sunny Island
not being able to raise the AC voltage in the stand-alone grid to the AC voltage of the generator. The Sunny Island
cancels the synchronization.
• To charge the battery, reduce the power of the loads.
The generator voltage might not be within the thresholds for voltage and frequency.
• Check whether the symbol is displayed permanently in standard mode.
If the symbol is not displayed, ensure that the fuse is not defective or the circuit breaker is activated.
If the symbol is not displayed permanently, the generator voltage is sporadically outside the thresholds.

– Set the thresholds for voltage and frequency of the generator voltage (see the Sunny Island inverter
If the symbol is displayed permanently, the Sunny Island is in the warm-up period or is blocked for connection.
Useful hint: Tip: Check whether the Sunny Remote Control displays the " ! " warning symbol in standard mode.
Why does the Sunny Island connect to the generator for only a short time?
The generator may be overloaded.
• Select the parameter 234.03 GnCurNom and set it to 75% of the rated current of the generator.
• If possible, reduce the power of the loads.
The maximum permissible generator voltage may be set too low.
• Select the parameter 234.02 GnVtgMax and set to the maximum generator voltage.
The minimum frequency for the generator voltage may be set too high.
• Select the parameter 234.05 GnFrqMin and set to the minimum frequency of the generator voltage.
The permitted time 234.14 GnRvTm for reverse power might have been exceeded.
• Check whether warning W401 is registered in the menu 420# Error history.
Useful hint: Tip: If a warning was registered, the warning symbol " ! " is shown in the standard mode of the
Sunny Remote Control.
• Select the 540.02 GnAck parameter and set to Ackn. This acknowledges the generator error.
The Sunny Island does not reconnect to the generator after disconnection from the generator due
to non-compliance with the thresholds for voltage and frequency – why?
The Sunny Island is switched with a hysteresis, i.e., the thresholds for connection do not correspond to the thresholds
for disconnection.
• To unload the generator, disconnect unnecessary loads.
• Wait until the voltage and frequency have reached the nominal values.
10.6.5 Questions Regarding Multicluster Systems

Extension clusters remain in standby mode even though the main cluster is in inverter mode?
The data cable between the masters of the individual clusters might not be connected. The master of the main cluster
cannot forward the "Start" command to the masters of the extension clusters.
Why is the multicluster system not supplying full power?

An extension cluster or individual Sunny Island inverters of an extension cluster might have failed.
Why are high levels of energy being transferred between the clusters in the multicluster system?
The state of charge of the batteries might differ temporarily. The off-grid system equalizes different states of charge
automatically.
The nominal frequencies and nominal voltages may be defined differently.
• Set the frequencies and voltages in the 210# Inverter Settings menu to the same values for all masters.
The battery capacities might differ significantly.
• Distribute the battery capacities to the clusters as evenly as possible.

Individual battery cells of a battery might have failed.
• Disconnect defective battery cells and set the new rated voltage and capacity (see Section 11.8 "Replacing the
Battery", page 97).
10.7 Charging the Battery After Automatic Shutdown in Off-Grid Systems

(Emergency Charge Mode)
When a battery undergoes deep discharge, the Sunny Island shuts down automatically and you cannot restart the
Sunny Island. In order to start the Sunny Island again after an automatic shutdown, you must charge the battery in
emergency charge mode.
In emergency charge mode, the Sunny Island does not form a separate stand-alone grid, and you can charge the
battery using a generator. Battery management is active in emergency charge mode and the Sunny Island charges the
battery in accordance with the parameter settings. In standby mode or in the QCG, you can adjust the parameters for
the battery, e.g., the battery nominal voltage, if a battery cell fails.
Danger to life due to fire or explosion when charging a deep discharged lithium-ion battery.
The charging of a deep discharged lithium-ion battery can lead to its destruction. Death or lethal injuries can result.
• Verify that the lithium-ion battery is not deep discharged (see manual of the lithium-ion battery)
• Charging is performed in accordance with the specifications of the battery manufacturer (see manual of the
lithium-ion battery).
• Only run the emergency charge mode with Sunny Island after approval by the battery manufacturer.
Danger to life from electric shock due to high voltages

High voltages are present inside the Sunny Island. When the enclosure lid is removed, live components can be
touched that can result in death or serious injury due to electric shock.
• Disconnect the Sunny Island from voltage sources (see Section 9, page 45).
Restricted management functions in emergency charge mode

In emergency charge mode, the generator management is not active. The limits for voltage, current and frequency
are not monitored. Set the maximum current consumption of the Sunny Island inverter for charging the battery in
emergency charge mode. The Sunny Island does not record additional strain on the generator due to loads.
Requirements:
☐ The system must be an off-grid system.
☐ The system must be a single system (single-phase system with Sunny Island).
☐ Lead-acid batteries must be connected (for emergency charge mode of a lithium-ion battery see documentation of
the battery manufacturer).
Procedure:
• Connect the generator to connection AC1.
• Charge the battery.
• Disconnect the generator from connection AC1.
• Start the off-grid system.

Connecting the Generator to Connection AC1

1. Disconnect the Sunny Island from voltage sources (see Section 9, page 45).
2. If the system is a single-cluster system (single-phase or three-phase), the master must temporarily be connected as
single system (see quick reference guide "Off-Grid Systems" of the Sunny Island inverter).
3. If the system is a multicluster system (single-phase or three-phase), the master of the main cluster must temporarily
be connected as single system (see quick reference guide "Off-Grid Systems" of the Sunny Island inverter).
4. If a generator is installed permanently in the off-grid system, bridge the connections AC1 and AC2.
5. If a mobile generator is used, connect the generator to connection AC1 (see the Sunny Island inverter installation
manual).
Close the Sunny Island (see commissioning section in the Sunny Island inverter installation manual).
Charging the Battery

1. Switch off all loads.
2. Connect or close all circuit breakers and fuse switch-disconnectors for energy sources.
3. Quickly close the load-break switch of the BatFuse and close the BatFuse (see BatFuse installation manual).
4. Start the generator.
5. Switch the Sunny Island on (see Section 4.1, page 20).
6. If the Sunny Remote Control displays <Init System> , press and hold the button.

241.01 Rly1Op: Operating mode of the multifunction relay 1

Value Explanation
Off Off; the multifunction relay is always in idle mode.
On On; the multifunction relay is permanently activated.
AutoGn Automatic generator request: the Sunny Island automatically requests the generator. In the
event of a generator request, the multifunction relay is activated.
AutoLodExt 1‑level load shedding
When the generator is connected, the Sunny Island stops the load shedding. When the loads
are to be shed, the multifunction relay is deactivated.
AutoLod1Soc 1‑level load shedding or first level of 2-level load shedding
When the upper SOC threshold is reached, the Sunny Island ends load shedding. When the
loads are to be shed, the multifunction relay is deactivated.
AutoLod2Soc Second level of 2‑level load shedding
When the upper SOC threshold is reached, the Sunny Island ends load shedding. When the
loads are to be shed, the multifunction relay is deactivated.
Tm1 Timer 1
The Sunny Island controls external processes time-dependently. When the set time
#243 Timer is reached, the multifunction relay is activated.


Value Explanation
Tm2 Timer 2
The Sunny Island controls external processes time-dependently. When the set time
#243 Timer is reached, the multifunction relay is activated.
ExtPwrDer Control of additional loads: the Sunny Island controls additional loads in order to put excess
energy to practical use. When excessive energy can be used, the multifunction relay is acti-
vated.
GnRn Relay is activated when generator is running: When the generator is in operation, the multi-
function relay is activated.
ExtVfOk Relay is activated when external source is present: When the voltage and frequency of the
external energy source are within the valid range for the connection, the multifunction relay is
activated.
GdOn Relay is activated when utility grid is present: When the utility grid is connected, the multifunc-
tion relay is activated.
Error Relay is deactivated during error: When an error message is pending, the multifunction relay
is deactivated.
Warn Relay is activated during warning: When a warning is pending, the multifunction relay is acti-
vated.
Run Relay is activated when cluster is running: When the Sunny Island or the cluster is in opera-
tion, the multifunction relay is activated.
BatFan Relay is activated when battery room fan is running: The Sunny Island controls the battery
room fan for all clusters together. When the battery room is to be ventilated, the multifunction
relay is activated.
AcdCir Relay is activated when the electrolyte pump is running: The Sunny Island controls the elec-
trolyte pump of the battery. When the electrolyte is to be circulated, the multifunction relay is
activated.
MccBatFan Relay is activated when battery room fan is running: The Sunny Island controls the battery
room fan for all clusters together. When the battery room is to be ventilated, the multifunction
relay is activated.
MccAutoLod Load shedding in a multicluster system
When all batteries have reached the upper SOC threshold, the Sunny Island ends load shed-
ding. When the loads are to be shed, the multifunction relay is deactivated.
