3 Product Description SMA Solar Technology AG 3.4 Sunny Remote Control You can configure and control the system from a central location using the Sunny Remote Control display. Figure 3: Layout of the Sunny Remote Control Position Designation Explanation Display Four-line display shows operating data (e.g., operating state, display values) and events, warnings, or errors on the Sunny Island inverter.
SMA Flexible Storage System (see Quick Reference Guide of the Sunny Island inverter). Sunny Portal is an Internet portal for visualization of the data of the PV system, of SMA radio-controlled sockets and of other components of the SMA Flexible Storage System. In addition, Sunny Portal serves as a user interface for configuring the Sunny Home Manager and SMA radio-controlled sockets (see User Manual of the SUNNY HOME MANAGER in SUNNY PORTAL).
4 Starting and Stopping the System SMA Solar Technology AG 4 Starting and Stopping the System 4.1 Switching on the Sunny Island Requirements: ☐ The load-break switch in the DC cable must be closed. ☐ The Sunny Island must not have switched itself off (see Section 10.7 "Charging the Battery After Automatic Shutdown in Off-Grid Systems", page 81).
SMA Solar Technology AG 4 Starting and Stopping the System 4.3 Stopping the System If you stop the system, the Sunny Island switches from operation into standby mode. In standby mode, the Sunny Island discharges the battery due to its standby consumption. Tip: For longer shut-down periods, switch off the Sunny Island (see Section 4.4, page 19).
4 Starting and Stopping the System SMA Solar Technology AG Procedure: • Press and hold the "Off" button on the Sunny Island until an acoustic signal sounds. ☑ The inverter LED is off on all Sunny Island inverters. 4.6 Setting Time-Controlled Inverter Operation in Off-Grid Systems Example: Parameter settings for time-controlled inverter operation You want to operate the Sunny Island in inverter operation every Sunday from 10:00 a.m.
