2.1 Intended Use

The Sunny Island is a battery inverter which 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 Sunny Island is suitable for use indoors and in weather-protected outdoor areas. The grid configuration of the generator or the utility grid must be a TN or TT system. Cables with copper wires must be
used for the installation. Use this product only in accordance with the information provided in the enclosed documentation and with the locally
applicable standards and directives. Any other application may cause personal injury or property damage. Device types SI3.0M-11 and SI4.4M-11 do not support all off-grid system variants. Only device types SI6.0H-11 and
SI8.0H-11 are suitable for single-phase single cluster systems and three-phase multicluster systems (see the Quick Reference Guide "Off-Grid Systems").
The Sunny Island is not suitable for supplying life-sustaining medical devices. A power outage must not lead to personal injury.
AC sources (such as PV inverters) can be used in off-grid systems and battery backup systems for energy supply. Too much power from the AC sources in the stand-alone grid or with battery backup systems in a battery backup grid can lead to system failures. The maximum output power of the AC sources must be observed in off-grid systems and battery backup systems (see Section10 "Technical Data", page94). The powers of the individual Sunny Island inverters are added to yield the total maximum power.
The Sunny Island uses batteries for the storage of energy. 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. The battery room must be ventilated in compliance 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.
• Battery management of the lithium-ion battery must be compatible with the Sunny Island (see "Safety Information" in the quick reference guide for the relevant system).
In off-grid systems with lead-acid batteries only, a maximum of four Sunny Island Charger charge controllers can be connected per cluster. The battery management must record the DC current when charging and discharging the battery. A battery current sensor may be installed to allow precise measurement of the battery current. The Sunny Island is not suitable for establishing a DC distribution grid.
The Sunny Island can control various devices in the system (e.g. load-shedding contactors) via two multifunction relays. The multifunction relays are not suitable for controlling functions which may endanger persons in the event of a malfunction of the multifunction relays – for example, if there is insufficient redundancy in the ventilation of the battery room.
Alterations to the product, e.g. modifications or conversions, are permitted only with the express written permission of SMA Solar Technology AG. Unauthorized alterations will void guarantee and warranty claims and usually void the operation permit. SMA Solar Technology AG shall not be held liable for any damage caused by such changes.
Any use of the product other than that described in the Intended Use section does not qualify as appropriate. The enclosed documentation is an integral part of this product. Keep the documentation in a convenient place for future
reference and observe all instructions contained therein. The type label must remain permanently attached to the product.

5 Product Description

5.1 Sunny Island

The Sunny Island is a battery inverter which 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.
Figure4: Design of the Sunny Island inverter
Position Designation
A Ventilation grid BType label C Control panel DEnclosure 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 (see Section10 "Technical Data", page94).
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 the SMA Service Line.

5.2 Scope of Functions of Device Types SI3.0M-11 and SI4.4M-11

The following functional restrictions apply for device types SI3.0M-11 and SI4.4M-11:
• All Sunny Island inverters in a cluster must be of the same device type.
• Device types SI3.0M-11 and SI4.4M-11 do not support all off-grid system variants. Single-phase systems can include a maximum of one Sunny Island SI3.0M-11 or SI4.4M-11. Three-phase systems can include a maximum of three Sunny Island SI3.0M-11 or SI4.4M-11.
Only device types SI6.0H-11 and SI8.0H-11 are suitable for single-phase single cluster systems and three-phase multicluster systems (see the Quick Reference Guide "Off-Grid Systems").

inverter's generator management. With the multifunction relay, you can control generators equipped with electrical remote-start function or connect a signal generator for generators with no autostart function (see Section 7.4.10 and 7.4.11).
In battery backup systems, the multifunction relays control the contactors for grid coupling and grounding.
The multifunction relay is activated depending on the state of charge of the battery. Depending on the configuration, you can install a one-level load shedding with one multifunction relay or a two-level load shedding with two multifunction relays. You can also adjust the thresholds for the state of charge of the battery depending on the time of day (see Section 7.4.12).
The multifunction relays can be time-controlled (see Section 7.4.13).
Each multifunction relay can display either one event or one warning message (see Section 7.4.14).
The multifunction relay is activated when the charging current leads to the battery emitting gasses. A connected battery room fan is switched on for at least one hour (see Section
7.4.15).
Control of an electrolyte pump
Use of excess energy In off-grid systems during the constant voltage phase, a multifunction relay is activated and
Depending on the nominal energy throughput, the multifunction relay is activated at least once a day (see Section 7.4.16).
thus controls additional loads that can put any excess energy to good use (see Section
7.4.17).

5.4 Communication

The Sunny Island is equipped with two interface slots for the connection of SMA communication interfaces.
Interface slot SICOMSMA
The interface slot SICOMSMA is for connecting the Speedwire data module SWDMSI-xx or the RS485 communication interface SI-COMSMA.BGx.
The Speedwire data module SWDMSI-xx allows the Sunny Island inverter to be integrated into a Speedwire network. Speedwire is a cable-based type of communication based on the Ethernet standard and the communication protocol SMA Data2+. This enables inverter-optimized 10/100 Mbit data transmission between Speedwire devices, e.g. between Sunny Island and Sunny Home Manager.
The SI-COMSMA.BGx communication interface allows the Sunny Island inverter to be integrated into an RS485 communication bus. You can connect the Sunny Island to the following products using RS485:
• SMA communication products (e.g. Sunny WebBox)
•PV inverters
• Wind power inverters
• Extension cluster masters
If the Sunny Island inverters are ordered with the RS485 communication interface SI-COMSMA.BGx or with the Speedwire data module SWDMSI-xx, the Sunny Island inverters are delivered with premounted communication interfaces.
Interface slot SISYSCAN
On Sunny Island device types SI6.0H-11 or SI8.0H-11, the interface slot SISYSCAN is for connecting the multicluster data module SI-SYSCAN.BGx.
In a multicluster system, the masters of the clusters must communicate with each other via a separate CAN bus. An SI-SYSCAN.BGx communication interface must be installed in each master for multicluster communication.
If the Sunny Island inverters are ordered with the communication interface SI-SYSCAN.BGx, the masters are delivered with premounted communication interfaces.

6.1 Requirements for Mounting

Mounting location:
☐ A stable, non-flammable support surface must be used at the mounting location, e.g. concrete or masonry. In the
living area, ensure that the support surface is not made of drywall or similar. When in operation, the Sunny Island makes noises which can be perceived as annoying.
☐ The mounting location must be suitable for the weight and dimensions of the Sunny Island inverter (see Section10
"Technical Data", page94).
☐ The mounting location must be clear and safely accessible at all times without the need for any auxiliary equipment
(e.g. scaffolding or lifting platforms). Non-fulfillment of these criteria may restrict servicing. ☐ The mounting location must not hinder access to disconnection devices. ☐ The mounting location must not be exposed to direct solar irradiation. Direct solar irradiation can cause the
Sunny Island to overheat. ☐ Climatic conditions must be met (see Section10 "Technical Data", page94). ☐ The mounting location must be less than 3,000 m above MSL. From altitudes of 2,000 m above MSL, the power
decreases by 0.5% every 100 m. ☐ The ambient temperature should be below 40°C. This will ensure the optimum operation of the Sunny Island inverter
(see Section10.9 "Energy Consumption in No-Load Operation and Standby", page98).
Mounting position:
Figure5: Permissible and impermissible mounting positions
☐ The mounting location must be suitable for a permitted mounting position. The control panel should be at eye level.
This will make it easier to operate the buttons and view the LED signals.

Clearances:
Figure6: Minimum clearances
☐ The mounting location must be suitable for mounting while observing minimum clearances to walls, other
Sunny Island units or other objects. This will allow for sufficient heat dissipation.
Multiple Sunny Island inverters installed in areas with high ambient temperatures
There must be sufficient clearance between the Sunny Island inverters to ensure that the cooling air of the adjacent inverter is not drawn in.
• In order to guarantee sufficient cooling of the Sunny Island inverters, the clearances between the Sunny Island units should be significantly greater than the minimum clearances.
• Ensure sufficient fresh-air supply.

6.2 Mounting the Sunny Island

Danger to life due to fire or explosion
Care taken during design does not preclude the possibility of a fire developing in electrical devices. Contact with flammable materials allows the fire to spread. This can result in death or serious injury.
• Do not mount the Sunny Island on flammable construction materials.
• Do not mount the Sunny Island near highly flammable materials.
• Do not mount the Sunny Island in potentially explosive atmospheres.
• Ensure that the battery room is sufficiently ventilated and that all other requirements for the installation location of the battery are complied with (see battery manufacturer documentation). This will prevent the build-up of explosive and dangerous gases.
Dimensions for wall mounting:

Sunny Island with order options "Communication for RS485" or "Multicluster System"
Any ordered communication interfaces are installed in the master ex works. The master can be identified by the labeling on the packaging.
• For single-cluster systems and multicluster systems, mount the Sunny Island units with integrated communication interfaces at the planned mounting locations for masters.
Additionally required mounting material (not included in the scope of delivery):
☐ At least two screws that are suitable for the support surface. ☐ At least two washers suitable for the screws. ☐ At least two screw anchors suitable for the support surface and the screws. ☐ If the inverter is to be secured against theft, two security screws that can only be unscrewed with a special tool.
Procedure:
1. At the mounting location, mark the position of the drill holes using the wall mounting bracket. Use at least one hole on the right side of the wall mounting bracket and one on the left.
2. Ensure that there are no electric lines or other supply lines in the wall behind the marked positions.
3. Drill the holes and insert the screw anchors.
4. Secure the wall mounting bracket horizontally to the wall using screws and washers.
5. If the Sunny Island is to be secured against theft, mark the drill holes for the anti-theft device. Use at least one hole on the right and one on the left.
6.
Risk of injury due to the heavy weight of the Sunny Island inverter
Improper transport and mounting can result in the Sunny Island falling. Falling may lead to bruising and broken bones.
• Keep in mind the weight of the Sunny Island inverter (see Section10 "Technical Data", page94).
• With the SI3.0M-11 and SI4.4M-11, the Sunny Island should be mounted to the wall mounting bracket. For this, use the side recess grips. Keep the Sunny Island in a horizontal position during transport.
• With the SI6.0H-11 and SI8.0H-11, the Sunny Island should be mounted to the wall mounting bracket. For this, use the side recess grips or a steel rod (diameter: maximum 30 mm). Keep the Sunny Island in a horizontal position during transport.

7.3 Connecting the Grounding Conductor in Systems With Grounded Battery

If you ground the battery, you can ground it at the positive terminal or at the negative terminal with a grounding conductor. SMA Solar Technology AG does not recommend grounding the battery. If the battery is grounded, the enclosure of the Sunny Island must also be grounded. This additional grounding is no substitute for the grounding at connections AC1 and AC2.
Installation Manual SI30M-44M-60H-80H-IA-en-30 25
7 Electrical Connection SMA Solar Technology AG
Conductor cross-section:
You must determine the required conductor cross-section of the grounding conductor, taking into account the applicable local standards and directives. The calculation of the grounding conductor cross-section depends on the type and size of the connected battery, the external fuse in the BatFuse, and the material of the grounding conductor.
Example: Calculation of the grounding conductor cross-section
Grounding conductor made of copper. The required cross-section of the grounding conductor can be calculated using the following formula:
SC
= conductor cross-section in mm²
u
= short-circuit current in A
I
SC
= interruption time in s
t Typical tripping times for an LV/HRC fuse are around 25 ms for short-circuit currents between 2,000 A and 10,000 A.
Grounding with a cross-section of 16 mm² is sufficient for short-circuit currents up to 10,000 A.
Cable requirement:
☐ Copper wire ☐ Maximum conductor cross-section: 16 mm² ☐ The cross-sections of the battery grounding conductor and Sunny Island inverter grounding conductor must be the
same.
Procedure:
1. Calculate the cross-section of the grounding conductor.
2. Ground the battery at the positive terminal or negative terminal using a conductor with the calculated cross-section.
3. Also ground the Sunny Island enclosure using a conductor with the calculated cross-section, as follows:
• Strip the grounding conductor.
• Place the clamping bracket over the conductor. Position the conductor on the left.
• Fasten the clamping bracket with the hexagon socket screw M6x16 and a conical spring washer (AF 5, torque: 4 Nm to
5.7 Nm). The teeth of the conical spring washer must face the clamping bracket.
