2.1 Intended Use
The inverter, the Battery Pack, the energy meters and if applicable, the SunnyHomeManager,
make up a system for optimization of self-consumption in a household. The inverter is equipped with
two MPP trackers and converts the direct current from the PV array into grid-compliant alternating
current. The Battery Pack is used for the intermediate storage of the energy.
The product is designed for indoor use only.
The product must only be operated at ambient temperatures from 0°C to +40°C and at a relative
humidity between 5% and 95%.
The product must not be exposed to any direct solar irradiation.
The product must not be installed in areas containing highly flammable materials or gases.
The product must not be mounted in potentially explosive atmospheres.
The inverter must only be operated with a Battery Pack type "BAT-2.0-A-SE-10" (status as of: March
2014). An updated list of batteries approved by SMA Solar Technology AG is available at
www.SMA-Solar.com.
The product must only be operated with PV arrays of protection classII, in accordance with
IEC61730, application classA. The PV modules must be compatible with this product.
PV modules with a high capacity to ground must only be used if their coupling capacity does not
exceed 1.4 μF (for information on how to calculate the coupling capacity, see the Technical
Information "Leading Leakage Currents" at www.SMA-Solar.com).
The product must only be used in countries for which it is approved or released by SMA Solar
Technology AG and the grid operator.
All components must remain within their permitted operating ranges at all times.
The product is not suitable for setting up a DC distribution grid.
Use this product only in accordance with the information provided in the enclosed documentation
and with the locally applicable standards and directives. Any other application may cause
personal injury or property damage.
Alterations to the product, e.g. changes or modifications, are only permitted with the express written
permission of SMA Solar Technology AG. Making unauthorized changes will void the warranty
and will normally result in invalidation of the operating permit. SMA Solar Technology AG shall not
be held liable for any damages caused by such changes.
Any use of the product other than described in the Intended Use section does not qualify as
intended use.
The enclosed documentation is an integral part of this product. Keep the documentation in a
convenient place for future reference and observe all instructions contained therein.
All type labels must be permanently attached.

2.2 Skills of Qualified Persons
Only qualified persons are allowed to perform the activities marked in this document with a
warning symbol and the caption "Qualifiedperson". Qualified persons must have the following
skills:
• Knowledge of how an inverter works and is operated
• Training in how to deal with the dangers and risks associated with installing and using
electrical devices, batteries and systems
• Training in the installation and commissioning of electrical devices and systems
• Knowledge of the applicable standards and directives
• Knowledge of and compliance with this document, including all safety precautions
• Knowledge of and compliance with the documents of the battery manufacturer, including all
safety precautions
2.3 Safety Precautions
This section contains safety precautions that must be observed at all times when working on or with
the product.
To prevent personal injury and property damage and to ensure long-term operation of the product,
read this section carefully and follow all safety precautions at all times.
Danger to life due to high voltages of the PV array
When exposed to sunlight, the PV array generates dangerous DC voltage which is present in the
DC conductors and the live components of the inverter. Touching the DC conductors or the live
components can lead to lethal electric shocks. If you disconnect the DC connectors from the
inverter under load, an electric arc may occur leading to electric shock and burns.
• Do not touch uninsulated cable ends.
• Do not touch the DC conductors.
• Do not touch any live components of the inverter.
• Have the inverter mounted, installed and commissioned by qualified persons with the
appropriate skills only.
• If an error occurs, have it rectified by qualified persons only.
• Prior to performing any work on the inverter, disconnect it from all voltage sources as
described in this document (see Section10, page54).
2 Safety
SMA Solar Technology AG
Operating Manual 9SB36-50SE-BE-en-11
Danger to life due to high voltages on the BatteryPack
Lethal voltage is present at the pin connector for the power cable. Reaching into the pin
connector for the power cable can result in lethal electric shock.
• Do not open the BatteryPack.
• Do not wipe over the Battery Pack with a damp cloth.
• Leave the protective caps on the pin connectors for the power cable and the data cable until
the inverter cables are connected to the Battery Pack.
• Only operate the BatteryPack with its protective cover mounted. The protective cover is
separately packed.
• Prior to performing any work on the inverter or the Battery Pack, disconnect the inverter from
all voltage sources as described in this document (see Section10, page54).
Danger to life due to electric shock
Touching an ungrounded PV module or an array frame can cause a fatal electric shock.
• Connect and ground the PV modules, array frame and electrically conductive surfaces so
that there is continuous conduction. Observe the applicable local regulations.
Risk of chemical burns from electrolyte or toxic gases
During normal operation, no electrolyte can leak from the Battery Pack and no toxic gases can
form. Despite careful construction, if the Battery Pack is damaged or a fault occurs, it is possible
that electrolyte may be leaked or toxic gases formed.
• Store the Battery Pack in a cool and dry place.
• Do not drop the Battery Pack or damage it with sharp objects.
• Only set the Battery Pack down on its back, i.e., on the side with the mounting lugs.
• Do not open the BatteryPack.
• Only operate the Battery Pack at ambient temperatures between 0°C and +40°C.
• Do not install or operate the Battery Pack in potentially explosive atmospheres or areas of
high humidity.
• If moisture has penetrated the Battery Pack (e.g. due to a damaged enclosure), do not install
or operate the Battery Pack.
• In case of contact with electrolyte, rinse the affected areas immediately with water and
consult a doctor without delay.
