The most reliable all-purpose solution – easier than ever

Sunny Island 6.0H / 8.0H

Proven technology

Now even more affordable

With the new generation of devices, the tried-and-tested Sunny Island battery inverters are easier and more affordable to install than ever – both in your home and in commercial applications as well as to the utility grid and in off-grid locations.

The Sunny Island has been installed more than 120,000 times worldwide. With the new generation, installers and PV system operators benefit from an even more user-friendly battery inverter.
The Sunny Island 4.4M version is no longer produced by SMA. Technical information, such as operating manuals or datasheets of these versions can still be found in the download area.

Can be used flexibly in private homes and commercial enterprises

The Sunny Island has maximum flexibility, from operation in remote off-grid areas to commercial or home energy management. It gives planners total freedom in the size and type of system, the battery and the type of energy generation. Works with self-consumption systems, battery backup systems and off-grid systems.

Ideal for retrofits or modular expansions of single- and three-phase systems in the 1 to 30 kW range
All lead-acid batteries and over 20 different lithium-ion batteries can be used
Can be expanded with SMA Multicluster-Technologie for systems in the 20 to 300 kW range

Self-consumption systems in your own home

Its high protection class, wide temperature range and exceptional overload capacity always provide the kind of security in the electricity supply that is needed for off-grid use. Intelligent load and energy management ensures operation even in critical situations and allows any appliance to be switched on even in the event of high inrush currents or harsh ambient conditions.

Self-consumption systems for commercial enterprises

The Sunny Island provides an efficient, safe and consistent electricity supply in commercial applications such as agricultural holdings, hotels, supermarkets and schools. It balances out load and demand peaks and takes on electricity supply during grid failures.

Off-grid systems

Always a reliable electricity supply

The Sunny Island runs reliably under even the most extreme conditions – without compromising its efficiency.

Exceptionally high overload capacity ensures a safe electricity supply, even in critical situations
IP54 for operation even in extreme environments
