As a leading global specialist for photovoltaic system technology, German company SMA is setting the standards today for the decentralized and renewable energy supply of tomorrow. More than 5,000 SMA employees in 21 countries have devoted themselves to this task.

Sunny Island 6.0H / 8.0H

The Sunny Island 6.0H / 8.0H is a truly comprehensive package for a worry-free, reliable and self-sufficient electricity supply. It supports a wide range of on-grid and off-grid applications with compelling product features – from operation in remote off-grid areas to business energy management. Users can benefit from more than 25 years of SMA experience in the field of battery inverters.

The high protection class, wide temperature range and exceptional overload capacity provide the kind of security needed for off-grid use. Intelligent load and energy management keeps the system running, even in critical situations. And being a core element in the SMA Flexible Storage System for new and existing PV systems, the Sunny Island 6.0H / 8.0H stores generated solar energy and works with the Sunny Manager to intelligently manage business energy consumption.

The Quick Configuration Guide and intuitive user interface help ensure an easy, convenient installation in any application scenario. That makes the Sunny Island 6.0H / 8.0H the ultimate all-purpose product solution – for on-grid and off-grid.

SMA Sunny Island Battery Inverter for Solar Panels in Melbourne

Easy to Understand. Extremely Robust. Flexible.

With the two power classes 6.0 and 8.0 kilowatts, the Sunny Island allows a precise plant design for all plant sizes between 3 and 300 kilowatts.

Simple

Everything at a Glance with OptiUse

The new OptiUse operating concept makes installation, commissioning and day-to-day use easier than ever before. The Quick Configuration Guide helps you complete the commissioning in just a few steps. And the automatic rotating field detection function shows possible installation errors immediately.

A cluster, i.e., a system with two or three Sunny Island inverters, can be operated centrally using a master device and the Single Point of Operation function. The external control unit Sunny Remote Control enables clearly laid-out remote configuration of the off-grid inverters.

The OptiBat battery management system takes care of the sensitive energy storage unit. It controls the most important charging and discharging processes fully automatically, increasing the electrical endurance of the batteries.

Robust

For Global Use

Sunny Island is perfectly equipped for any situation thanks to its high IP54 degree of protection and the SMA cooling concept OptiCool. It is impervious to fine desert sand, high humidity in rainforests, significant temperature fluctuations, and salty mist in coastal regions.

Even in critical situations, the off-grid system keeps running safely – thanks to the intelligent load and energy management system. The soft start function makes the Sunny Island a powerful aid when starting with critical loads with over-average inrush currents.

Flexible

Planned Precision

With Sunny Island 6.0H and Sunny 8.0H, the inverter power can be adapted precisely to the system requirements. That is the most important prerequisite for reliable and efficient operation of off-grid systems. Underdimensioned systems are often overloaded and can be switched off. If a system is overdimensioned, it rarely runs at the ideal operating point, which makes it inefficient.

Of course the new Sunny Island inverters also support the SMA multicluster technology – the off-grid systems can be extended at any time as the energy demand increases. From 3 to 300 kilowatts, anything is possible with the Sunny Island 6.0H / 8.0H.
