SMA SUNNY ISLAND 6048-US - Configuration of PV Inverters in Off-Grid Systems

SMA Solar Technology America LLC 17 PV Inverters
Operating Manual SI4548-6048-US-BE-en-21 153
17.4.2 Configuration of PV Inverters in Off-Grid Systems
The country data set must be set to stand-alone mode in off-grid systems.
You can order PV inverters configured for stand-alone mode or you can configure existing PV inverters
for stand-alone mode (see Section17.3 "Configuration of the PV Inverters with a Communication
Products", page151). During the first ten operating hours you can adjust the country data set for
many PV inverters by means of rotary switches (see the manual of the PV inverter).
Setting the Country Data Set via RS485 (e.g. with Sunny WebBox)
The following table shows how the country data set must be set during configuration of the PV inverter
via RS485. The parameter name and the configurable value depend on the PV inverter being used.
Setting the Country Data set via Speedwire or BLUETOOTH (e.g. with
Sunny Explorer)
The following table shows how the country data set must be set during configuration of the PV inverters
via Speedwire or BLUETOOTH. The country data set value depends on the PV inverter being used.
The parameter setting "OffGrid" automatically sets the following Sunny Boy parameters to the values
below:
Parameter name Value
Either "Default"
or
"CntrySet"
Either "Off-Grid"
or
depending on power frequency, "OFF-Grid50" for 50 Hz power
frequency or "Off-Grid60" for 60 Hz power frequency
Parameter name Value
Set country standard Either "Island mode"
or
depending on power frequency, "Island mode 50" for 50 Hz
power frequency or "Island mode 60" for 60 Hz power
