IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

This manual contains important instructions for the Sunny Boy 1100U that must be

followed during installation and maintenance of the inverter.

The Sunny Boy is designed and tested according to international safety requirements,

but as with all electrical and electronic equipment, certain precautions must be observed

when installing and/or operating the Sunny Boy. To reduce the risk of personal injury

and to ensure the safe installation and operation of the Sunny Boy, you must carefully

read and follow all instructions, cautions, and warnings in this Installation Guide.

must have when installing and/or operating the Sunny Boy. Failure to

read and follow instructions marked with this symbol could result in

injury or death and/or damage to the equipment.

This symbol appears beside instructions and warnings that deal

with dangerous voltages that can injure or kill people who come

in contact with them.

This symbol appears beside instructions and cautions that deal

with equipment components that can be damaged by static

electricity.

This symbol appears beside instructions, cautions, and warnings that

deal with portions of the equipment that can operate at temperatures

high enough to cause burns.

This symbol appears beside instructions, cautions, and warnings that

Cautions and Warnings

WARNING: A Warning describes a hazard to personnel. It

calls attention to a procedure or practice, which, if not correct-

ly performed or adhered to, could result in personal injury.

CAUTION: A Caution describes a hazard to equipment. It calls

attention to an operating procedure or practice, which, if not

correctly performed or adhered to, could result in damage to or

destruction of part or all of the SMA equipment and/or other

equipment connected to the SMA equipment.

Warnings and Cautions may also be accompanied by one or more of the safety and

hazard symbols described above to indicate the type of hazard described therein.

All electrical installations must be done in accordance with

the local and National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70.

The Sunny Boy contains no user-serviceable parts. Always

return the unit to an SMA authorized Service Center for

repairs and maintenance.

Before installing or using the Sunny Boy, read all of the

instructions, cautions, and warnings on the Sunny Boy, the

PV array, and in this Installation Guide.

You must not connect the Sunny Boy to the electrical utility

grid until you have received prior approval from the utility

company. This connection must be made only by qualified

personnel.

PV arrays produce electrical energy when exposed to light

and thus can create an electrical shock hazard.

Completely cover the surface of all PV-arrays with opaque

(dark) material before wiring them.

The Sunny Boy has a heat sink on its top surface to help

cool the internal components. This heat sink can reach

temperatures as high as 158° F (70° C). To avoid the risk

of burns, never touch the Sunny Boy’s heat sink while the

unit is in operation.

Section 1:

Introduction

This installation guide provides all the information needed to mount, wire, and

commission a Sunny Boy 1100U grid-tied photovoltaic (PV) inverter.

Note: To help avoid problems during the installation,

familiarize yourself with the installation process by reading

the entire Installation Guide before starting the installation.

WARNING: Lethal voltages are present at various points

in a PV system. For safety reasons, it is recommended that

only trained professionals attempt to install this equip-

ment.

Product Overview

The SMA Sunny Boy 1100U string inverter is designed for use in grid-tied PV generating

plants. It accepts DC voltage inputs from PV arrays of up to 400 V DC.

A grid-feeding inverter takes the DC output of the PV array, converts it to AC, adjusts

the output voltage to match the local utility-grid voltage, and feeds the AC output to both

the house wiring and the utility grid. In its most basic form, a PV system therefore consists

of three basic components: the PV module (or array of panels), the inverter, and the

utility grid. The AC voltage supplied by the PV system is used first by household devices

(appliances, lights, etc.), and any unconsumed power is then fed through the house’s

power meter into the utility grid as shown in Figure 1-1 (page 1-1).

Introduction Installation Overview

When the PV system is not producing enough power to meed the demands of all the

electrical loads in the household, additional power is drawn from the utility grid to make

up the difference. When the PV system is producing more power than is consumed by

household devices, the surplus power turns the house’s power meter backwards as it

passes into the utility grid to be used by other electrical consumers, thus producing utility

credits for the power added to the utility grid.

Note: Policies vary from one utility company to another. Consult

with a representative of the local utility company before

planning and installing a PV system.

Installation Overview

This section provides a high-level overview of the installation process so you have an

idea what to expect as you proceed through the rest of the Installation Guide.

The installation process is broken down into the following tasks:

Section 2: Unpacking and Inspection

This section provides instructions and information for unpacking the Sunny Boy,

inspecting it for shipping damage, and if necessary, returning a damaged Sunny Boy.

Section 3: Mounting the Sunny Boy

This section includes guidelines to help you select the best mounting location, cautions

and warnings that you should follow to avoid injury and/or equipment damage, and

step-by-step instructions for mounting a Sunny Boy 1100U inverter.

Section 4: Wiring and Connecting the Sunny Boy

This section includes guidelines for selecting the correct wire sizes, cautions and

warnings that you should follow to avoid injury and/or equipment damage, and step-

by-step instructions for wiring a Sunny Boy to a PV array, household electrical circuits,

and the utility grid. Procedures are also included for connecting optional data-

communication cables to the Sunny Boy.

Section 5: Commissioning the Sunny Boy

Commissioning involves applying DC input power to the Sunny Boy, observing the LED

indicators on the cover, and resolving any problems that occur.

Section 6: Displays and Messages

This section provides tips and procedures for resolving problems that can occur during
