5.7 Setting the Grid and Country Parameters
Changing Grid-Relevant and Country Parameters
To change grid-relevant parameters, you need a personal access code - the so-called SMA
Grid Guard Code. The application form for the personal access code is located in the
download area at www.SMA.de/en, in the "Certificate" category for each inverter.
Ensure that you discuss the changes to these parameters with your utility operator.
A detailed description of the operating parameters for the inverter is available in the download area
at www.SMA.de/en in the category "Technical Description" of the respective inverter.
5.7.1 Setting the Installation Country
Using the "Default" parameter you can set the installation country and/or the grid connection
standard valid for the country via a communication device (e.g. Sunny WebBox) or a PC with
appropriate software (e.g. Sunny Data Control or Sunny Explorer). This, however, is only required if
the inverter was originally ordered for another country. You can see the standard to which the inverter
was set upon delivery from the type label and the supplementary document provided with the factory
settings.
5.7.2 Setting Stand-alone Grid Operation
To operate the inverter in a Sunny Island system, you must set the inverter via the "Default" parameter
to off-grid ("OFF-Grid") operation.
You have several possibilities to set the inverter to stand-alone grid operation:
• Setting via Sunny WebBox
or
• Setting via Sunny Data Control or Sunny Explorer.
DANGER!
Danger to life due to high voltages in the event of outage of the public grid.
If you set the inverter to stand-alone grid operation, it does not fulfill any country-specific
standards and regulations. Therefore, if there is an outage of the public grid, there is a
danger of back-feed.
• Never operate the inverter directly on the public grid when set to stand-alone grid
operation.
