SMA Solar Technology AG 3 Information and System Description
Installation Manual - Quick Reference Guide FSS-IS-en-42 11
3.2 Requirements of VDE Application Guide 2510-2
The requirements below only apply for systems for which the following properties are all applicable:
• The system is a self-consumption system and/or battery-backup system.
• The system is installed in Germany.
In accordance with the scope of the VDE application guide 2510-2, a manufacturer's system is regarded as a complete
energy storage system only if products are used that have been approved by the manufacturer (for details on the
SMA Flexible Storage System of SMA Solar Technology AG see the Planning Guidelines "SMA Smart Home" and the
Technical Information "List of Approved Lithium-Ion Batteries" at www.SMA-Solar.com). If products are used that have not
been approved by SMA Solar Technology AG, the installer is deemed as the manufacturer of the system.
The requirements of the VDE application guide 2510-2 are fulfilled if the installation is carried out in the accordance with
the technical documentation of the Sunny Island inverter.
Example 4:
All PV inverters are three-phase and are feeding in symmetrically
(Sunny Tripower).
The Sunny Island can be connected to any line conductor.
Example 5:
The PV system consists of three-phase PV inverters (Sunny Tripower)
and single-phase PV inverters (Sunny Boy). The PV system is feeding
in asymmetrically.
The Sunny Island must be connected to a line conductor into which
a single-phase PV inverter is feeding.
The PV system is not ideal for the SMA Flexible Storage System. The
Sunny Island can only discharge the battery if less than 4.6 kVA are
being fed in on the line conductor of the Sunny Island inverter at the
point of interconnection.
