10.2 Sunny Island Inverter Behavior Under Fault Conditions

Error Levels
The Sunny Island distinguishes between five different levels of errors, each requiring different user interaction.
Level Designation Display on the Explanation
Sunny Remote
Control
1 Warning Warning Warning; the Sunny Island continues to run. Information in standard
mode indicating that a warning has been generated.
2 Malfunction 1 Malfunction Malfunction that is detectable only during operation. The Sunny Island
shuts down. Restart can be initiated immediately (e.g. via autostart).
3 Malfunction 2 Malfunction Malfunction that is also detectable in standby mode. The Sunny Island
shuts down. Restart is blocked until the malfunction is no longer detected
by the Sunny Island.
4 Failure Failure Device failure; the Sunny Island switches off. Troubleshooting,
acknowledgment of the error and manual restart necessary.
5 Device defect Defect The Sunny Island is defective and switches itself off. The Sunny Island
must be replaced.

Handling of pending errors upon activation

During the activation procedure, all pending errors are acknowledged without the error being logged in the list 420#
Error history. Errors that are still pending are entered again after activation. Errors that were detected by the
Sunny Island before activation and are no longer detected after activation are shown in the list 420# Error history.

Autostart
The autostart function allows automatic restarts in the event of malfunctions. If the autostart function fails in the event of a
malfunction, the Sunny Island attempts to carry out the next autostart immediately. The number of autostarts is restricted.
If the Sunny Island is in operation without malfunctions for ten minutes, it resets the autostart counter.
When the maximum number of autostarts has been reached, the Sunny Island reacts as follows:
• The Sunny Island waits ten minutes.
• The autostart counter is reset.
• The Sunny Island attempts to perform an autostart.
• When the maximum number of autostarts has been reached, the Sunny Island waits again for ten minutes.

10.3 Acknowledge Errors

If a malfunction or failure occurs, the Sunny Island switches to standby mode. Once you have eliminated the cause of the
error, you can enable a restart of the Sunny Island inverter by acknowledging the error.
Procedure:
1. Eliminate the cause.
2. Press the button on the Sunny Remote Control. This acknowledges the error.
3. Start the system (see Section 4.2, page 18).

10.6 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

10.6.1 Questions Regarding the Sunny Island
Why is the Sunny Island not switching off even though I have opened the load-break switch of the
BatFuse?
The Sunny Island may still be supplied from the AC side.
•
Switch off all AC sources and disconnect them from the Sunny Island.

Why is the Sunny Island not switching to energy-saving mode?

Another function might have a higher priority than energy saving mode, e.g., equalization charge or full charge.

Why can the Sunny Island can no longer be started after automatic disconnection in battery
protection mode?
•
Charge the battery only when the Sunny Island cannot be switched on (see Section 10.7 "Charging the Battery
After Automatic Shutdown in Off-Grid Systems", page 81).
• Switch off all loads.
• If there is a generator in the system, start the generator manually. When doing so, observe the warm-up time of
the generator. Five minutes without charge current can result in disconnection of the Sunny Island inverter.
• If sufficient power is available from the generator or the AC sources in the stand-alone grid, e.g., sufficient solar
irradiation for PV inverters, switch the Sunny Island on. AC sources in the stand-alone grid can start feeding in

The SD memory card is not formatted with the FAT-16 or FAT-32 file system.

10.6.3 Questions Regarding the Battery

What happens if a battery is defective?
•
Remove the defective battery cell from the battery system. This reduces the rated voltage of the battery by the
voltage of the battery cell.
•
In the QCG, set the current rated voltage of the battery under New Battery (see Section 11.8 "Replacing the
Battery", page 87).

78 SI30M-44M-60H-80H-BE-en-32 Operating Manual

SMA Solar Technology AG 10 Troubleshooting

Why is the battery state of charge not 100% after completion of full charge?
The power requirements of the loads might have been so high before completion of the full charge that the battery
could not be charged to 100 percent.
• If necessary, select the parameter 222.03 AptTmFul and set to a longer time period.

Why is the battery discharging even though the generator is running?

The Sunny Island may not have connected to the generator.
• Eliminate the cause (see Section 10.6.4 "Questions Regarding the Generator", page 79).
The power of the loads might exceed the power of the generator.

What do you need to do after replacing a battery current sensor?

•
Calibrate the battery current sensor (see the Commissioning section in the Sunny Island inverter installation
manual).

10.6.4 Questions Regarding the Generator

Why is the Sunny Island not connecting to the running generator?
A high output power of the Sunny Island inverter when the battery state of charge is low may lead to the
Sunny Island not being able to raise the AC voltage in the stand-alone grid to the AC voltage of the generator.
The Sunny Island cancels the synchronization.
• To charge the battery, reduce the power of the loads.
The generator voltage might not be within the thresholds for voltage and frequency.
• Check whether the symbol " " is displayed permanently in standard mode on the Sunny Remote Control.
If the " " symbol is not displayed, ensure that the fuse is not defective or the circuit breaker is activated.
If the " " symbol is not displayed permanently, the generator voltage is sporadically outside the thresholds.
•
Set the thresholds for voltage and frequency of the generator voltage (see the Sunny Island inverter
installation manual).
If the " " symbol is displayed permanently, the Sunny Island is in the warm-up period or is blocked for
connection. Tip: Check whether the Sunny Remote Control displays the " " warning symbol in standard mode.

Why does the Sunny Island connect to the generator for only a short time?
The generator may be overloaded.
• Select the parameter 234.03 GnCurNom and set it to 75% of the rated current of the generator.
• If possible, reduce the power of the loads.
The maximum permissible generator voltage may be set too low.
•
Select the parameter 234.02 GnVtgMax and set to the maximum generator voltage.
The minimum frequency for the generator voltage may be set too high.
•
Select the parameter 234.05 GnFrqMin and set to the minimum frequency of the generator voltage.
The permitted time 234.14 GnRvTm for reverse power might have been exceeded.
• Check whether warning W401 is registered in the menu 420# Error history. Tip: If a warning was registered,
the warning symbol " " is shown in the standard mode of the Sunny Remote Control.
• Select the 540.02 GnAck parameter and set to Ackn. This acknowledges the generator error.

Operating Manual SI30M-44M-60H-80H-BE-en-32 79

10 Troubleshooting SMA Solar Technology AG

The Sunny Island does not reconnect to the generator after disconnection from the generator due
to non-compliance with the thresholds for voltage and frequency – why?
The Sunny Island is switched with a hysteresis, i.e., the thresholds for connection do not correspond to the thresholds
for disconnection.
• To unload the generator, disconnect unnecessary loads.
• Wait until the voltage and frequency have reached the nominal values.

10.6.5 Questions Regarding Multicluster Systems

Why do extension clusters remain in standby mode even though the main cluster is in inverter
mode?
The data cable between the masters of the individual clusters might not be connected. The master of the main cluster
cannot forward the "Start" command to the masters of the extension clusters.

Why is the multicluster system not supplying full power?

An extension cluster or individual Sunny Island inverters of an extension cluster might have failed.

Why are high levels of energy being transferred between the clusters in the multicluster system?
The battery capacities might differ temporarily. The off-grid system equalizes different battery states of charge
automatically.
The nominal frequencies and nominal voltages may be defined differently.
• Set the frequencies and voltages in the 210# Inverter Settings menu to the same values for all masters.
The battery capacities might differ significantly.
•
Distribute the battery capacities to the clusters as evenly as possible.
Individual battery cells of a battery might have failed.
•
Disconnect defective battery cells and set the new rated voltage and capacity (see Section 11.8 "Replacing the
Battery", page 87).
