SMA Sunny Island 6048-US Inverter

SMA Sunny Island 6048-US Inverter/Charger

The ideal solar system battery backup inverter for off-grid power

Use the 6048-US with any grid-tied system for on-grid battery backup or off-grid AC power.

TheSMA Sunny Island 6048-US inverteris based on the proven off-grid technology in the Sunny Island 5048-US but now features 20 percent more power output. A maximum efficiency of 96 percent ensures peak production, which results in reduced diesel usage and makes a smaller dimensioning of the PV array possible. WithMulticlustertechnology, up to 12 Sunny Islands can be integrated into off-grid power systems up 100 kW in size.

For Grid Connected Applications

The Sunny Island can be added to any existing grid-tie system or even for backup power during power outages. Normally, a grid-tied inverter will shut off during a power outage, leaving you without power. With a completeSunny Island system, the grid-tie inverter supplies AC power from a solar panel array to charge a battery bank. The Sunny Island reliably supplies power for loads and intelligently monitors and charges battery banks with the energy from local AC sources such as solar, wind or gensets connected on the AC side.

For Off-Grid Remote or Island Power Applications

Featuring sophisticated generator management and true battery state of charge control, the Sunny Island can control a diesel generator connected to it in an extremely fuel efficient manner.

TheSI6048-US invertercan be integrated into a public grid or island power grid. This grid can be connected by solarmicrogridspowered bySunny Boy PV invertersthat are distributed anywhere along the AC grid.

The Sunny Island can be programmed to deactivate loads automatically if the battery is unable to provide sufficient power. This reduces risk of damage to the battery bank.

The redundant design of SMA'sAC and DC couplingtechnology, and expandability of the Sunny Island based solar systems assures the highest reliability and flexibility.

Sunny Island inverters are robust hard-working inverters yet are also designed for regular partial load operation. The Sunny Island has extremely low open-circuit and standby consumption which results in longer battery life, smaller required solar panel array size and reduced diesel usage in rural communities.
