Intended Use

Requirements for all Systems
The Sunny Island is a battery inverter that controls the electrical energy balance in an off-grid system, in a system for
increased self-consumption or in a battery-backup system.
The product is for use in weather-protected outdoor areas and in indoor areas.
The product must only be used as stationary equipment.
The product is not suitable for supplying life-sustaining medical devices. A power outage must not lead to personal
injury.
Device type SI4.4M-12 must not be used for single-phase single cluster systems and not for three-phase multi cluster
systems (see system description "Off-Grid Systems").
Loads connected to the Sunny Island must have an CE, RCM or UL identification label.
The entire battery voltage range must be completely within the permissible DC input voltage range of the Sunny Island.
The maximum permissible DC input voltage of the Sunny Island must not be exceeded. A battery fuse 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).
The following conditions must be satisfied for lithium-ion batteries:
• The lithium-ion battery must comply with the locally applicable standards and directives and must be intrinsically
safe.
• The battery management of the lithium-ion battery used must be compatible with the Sunny Island (see the
technical information at "List of Approved Batteries").
• The lithium-ion battery must be able to supply enough current at maximum output power of the Sunny Island (for
technical data see the Sunny Island operating manual).
An DC supply grid may not be established with the Sunny Island.
The grid configuration of the utility grid must be a TN or TT system. Cables with copper conductors 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.
Alterations to the product, e.g. changes or modifications, are only permitted with the express written permission of
SMA Solar Technology AG. Unauthorized alterations will void guarantee and warranty claims and in most cases
terminate the operating license. 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 the intended use.

Explanation
In the event of grid failure, a tie switch disconnects all line conductors and the neutral con-
ductor from the utility grid.
In the event of grid failure, a tie switch disconnects all line conductors from the utility grid. The
neutral conductor remains permanently connected to the utility grid.
