2.1 Intended Use
The inverter, the Battery Pack, the energy meters and if applicable, the Sunny Home Manager,
make up a system for optimization of self-consumption in a household. The inverter is equipped with
two MPP trackers and converts the direct current from the PV array into grid-compliant alternating
current. The Battery Pack is used for the intermediate storage of the energy.
The product is designed for indoor use only.
The product must only be operated at ambient temperatures from 0°C to +40°C and at a relative
humidity between 5% and 95%.
The product must not be exposed to any direct solar irradiation.
The product must not be installed in areas containing highly flammable materials or gases.
The product must not be mounted in potentially explosive atmospheres.
The inverter must only be operated with a Battery Pack type "BAT-2.0-A-SE-10" (status as of: March
2014). An updated list of batteries approved by SMA Solar Technology AG is available at
www.SMA-Solar.com.
