The results of the G59/3 are summarized in this certificate. SMA declares that all units shipped to the UK,
with at least the aforementioned FW version, are within the specifications and parameters set by the G59/3
Engineering Recommendation. These settings cannot be changed by an installer, user or by any person other
than SMA. Note that all tests were carried out in the biggest inverter of the family under test. The results for
the other inverters of the family are equivalent.
