For safety reasons, it is not permitted to modify the product or install components that are not explicitly
recommended or distributed by SMA Solar Technology AG for this product.
Before carrying out work on the inverter and before the ESS can be removed, the small wind turbine
system must always be stopped and secured against restart. Disconnecting the inverter and removing
the ESS while the small wind turbine system is running can cause damage to the small wind turbine
system and the inverter due to the resulting rapid discharge.
• Do not mount the Windy Boy on flammable construction materials.
• Do not mount the Windy Boy near areas containing highly flammable materials.
