SMA STP 17000TL-10 User Manual

IPC_STP-TI-en-14 | Version 1.4 ENGLISH
Reactive power is necessary for the stability of the utility grid. With the functions "Integrated Plant Control" and
"Q on Demand 24/7", it is possible that SMA inverters of type Sunny Tripower feed in reactive power during operation
and at night. The following table provides an overview of the device types and firmware versions for which the various
functions are available.
