Information about this document | 1 1 Information about this document This document describes the operation of the sonnenBatterie eco 8.0. Read this document in its entirety. Keep this document in the vicinity of the sonnenBatterie. 1.1 Target group of this document This document is intended for the storage system operator.
2 | Safety 2 Safety 2.1 Intended Use The sonnenBatterie eco 8.0 is a battery storage system which can be used to store elec- trical energy. Improper use of this system poses a risk of death or injury to the user or third parties as well as damage to the product and other items of value.
Safety | 2 • The replacement of battery modules must be performed by authorised service techni- cians only. When replacing batteries, replace with the same type and number of batter- ies or battery modules. 2.4 Voltage inside the storage system The storage system contains live electrical parts, which poses a risk of electrical shock.

2 | Safety Only firefighters with appropriate protective equipment (safety gloves, safety clothing, face guard, breathing protection) are permitted to enter the room where the burning storage system is located. There is a danger of electrocution when extinguishing fire while the storage system is switched on.

3 | Product description 3.4 Function 3.4.1 Basic principle Illustration 1: sonnenBatterie function PV system Measurement of consumption Storage system Public electrical mains Consumers in building (e. g. washing machine, hob, lamps, refrigerator, etc.) The storage system (2) is connected to the PV system (1) and the public electrical mains (5).
Page 13
Product description | 3 Example • Nominal power of PV system: 10 kWp • Power limit: 50% • Maximum feed-in power: 5 kW In this example, the feed-in power of 5 kW must not be exceeded. The following figure shows an example of the PV system’s production over the course of a day. To prevent production reduction –...
3 | Product description 3.4.3 Intelligent charging management The charging behaviour of the storage system is controlled via intelligent charging man- agement. The aims of this intelligent control are as follows: • Storage of the midday peak in the storage system (sufficient storage capacity must still be available for this) •...
Page 15
Product description | 3 Without intelligent charging management, the stor- age system would immediately use the surplus to charge the battery (until the maximum charging power is reached). In this example, this behaviour would result in the storage system being fully charged before midday, meaning that the surplus exceeding the feed-in limit after this point would no longer be able to be stored in the battery.
3.5 Function of the sonnen Eclipse The sonnen Eclipse (light ring in the sonnen logo on the front of the storage system) indic- ates the current status of the storage system when it is switched on. The following operating statuses may be indicated:...
The storage system then starts up and performs a self-test. Once the self-test is success- ful, the storage system is ready to operate. When the storage system is in normal operation, the sonnen Eclipse pulses white (see Function of the sonnen Eclipse [P. 16]).
5 | Using the optional display 5 Using the optional display The storage system is not delivered with a display as standard. Retrofitting the display is not possible. The installed display is a multi-touch screen. It can be controlled with movements of the hand (like a standard smartphone).

6 | Internet portal 6.4 Using the control page The control page contains an overview of the con- nected sonnenSmart-Plugs. Click on the relevant button to select a smart plug (e. g. washing machine). Click on the é or ê button to change the order of the smart plugs.
Internet portal | 6 The values displayed are subject to measuring instrument tolerances and rounding errors. The only information that is relevant in terms of your energy bills is the data taken from the utility company’s meters. 6.5.1 Elements of the power graph The power graph presents the different energy flows in relation to time.
6 | Internet portal Description This legend shows which energy flows are displayed in which colour in the graph (f. e. consumption is shown in blue). Clicking on the desired energy flow (e.g. consumption) shows or hides this flow in the graph.
Internet portal | 6 Description Generation has increased to approx. 3300 watts. This is used to cover consumption (blue) and charge the storage system (green) at a minimal level. Charging with higher power is prevented by the intelligent charging management system. This function ensures that storage capacity is kept free in order to store part of the midday peak in the storage sys- tem later.
6 | Internet portal Consumption pie chart The pie chart shows the power that was required in the building during the analysed time frame. Purchased power (taken from the mains) is marked in grey in the chart. The blue part represents self production.
Maintenance | 7 7 Maintenance For fault-free, safe, reliable and long-lasting operation of the storage system, it is essential to carry out regular function checks and cleaning. The battery modules installed in the storage system do not require maintenance. 7.1 Checking function Maintenance interval Action to be taken ...
