5.1 Commissioning Procedure
5.1.1 Commissioning Procedure for an Off-Grid System
The inverter supports different firmware versions that are suitable for different systems.
Inverters using firmware version ≤2.99.99.R are suitable for off-grid systems and systems that are not subject to
the European grid connection conditions in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2016/631 for establishing a
network code (also known as RfG). In addition, inverters with firmware version ≤2.99.99.R may be used in
systems that have been commissioned before April 27, 2019, and that are subject to the grid connection
conditions of VDE-AR-N 4105:2011-08.
Inverters using a firmware version ≥3.00.00.R are only suitable for systems that are operated in parallel with the
utility grid (e.g. SMAFlexibleStorageSystem). The firmware version ≥3.00.00.R complies with VDE-AR-N
4105-11:2018, EN50549-1:2018, C10/11:2018 and EREC G98:2018/G99:2018 of the European grid
connection conditions in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2016/631 for establishing a network code (also
known as RfG), valid from April 27, 2019 within the EU.
Inverters with a firmware version ≤2.99.99.R can be identified by the imprint 2:Off-Grid on the box label.
Invertes with a firmware version ≥3.00.00.R can be identified by the imprint 1:On-Grid on the box label.
• Ensure that the inverter is equipped with a firmware version that are suitable for the respective system.
Procedure See
1. Check the residual-current devices in the Multicluster-Box.* Operating manual for the Multi-
cluster-Box
2. If a Grid-Connect-Box has been installed, check residual-current de-
vices in the Grid-Connect-Box.

Connect-Box
3. Commission the inverter. SunnyIsland operating manual
4. Establish a connection to the user interface of the inverter. The follow-
ing connection options are available to choose from:
• Direct connection via WLAN
• Direct connection via Ethernet
• Connection via Ethernet in the local network

5. Log into the user interface. SunnyIsland operating manual
6. Perform basic configuration of the inverter. Please note, that the per-
sonal SMAGridGuard code for changing the grid-relevant parame-
ters must be available after completion of the first ten operating hours
(see "Application for the SMAGridGuard code" available at
www.SMA-Solar.com).

7. Set the functions of the multifunction relay via the user interface.
Tip: The multifunction relays are connected based on the default val-
ues of the SunnyIsland in the circuitry overviews.
