Sunny Island System Guide System Solutions for Your Island Power Supply
Supplying Off-Grid Areas with Electricity Simple System Planning with System Solutions from SMA Stand-alone power systems are easy to set up using the Sunny Island battery inverters developed by SMA. These enable a reliable energy supply even for off-grid areas. At first look, stand-alone power systems are as diverse as the landscapes in which they can be set up. This is because the ambient conditions determine which renewable energy source can be best applied on a case by case basis.
An Overview of the Advantages • All components are perfectly tailored to each other • System planning in accordance with the valid technical regulations • Easy upgrading to large energy supply systems • Individual adjustment to meet your requirements • Worldwide SMA Service for power supply systems The Easy Way to the Stand-Alone System also be individually adjusted in accordance with your local conditions.
SUNNY ISLAND – The Island Manager The Main Component of Your Stand-Alone Power Supply The Sunny Island stand-alone inverter is the main component of each Sunny Island system. Together with a battery unit, the Sunny Island standalone inverter creates an AC voltage grid which allows the integration of all components from electrical appliances to power generators. As the manager of this AC coupled system, the Sunny Island handles all regulation processes and ensures a continual power supply.
Sunny Island Advantages SUNNY ISLAND • Stand-alone systems from 2 kW to 300 kW • AC and DC coupling of energy sources • Single- and three-phase parallel connections • Modular and extendible • Excellent overload characteristics • Low energy consumption • Maximum battery life-span with intelligent stand-alone management • Simple commissioning Using the Sun’s Energy Because solar energy is available all over the world, all Sunny Island system solutions are primarily based on the use of photovoltaics.
