[RE-wrenches] Sunny Island 5048 & Enphase

[Brian Teitelbaum]

Hi Jeff,

The Sunny Island 4248U has been discontinued by SMA, and replaced with the SI5048U

If you use a transfer switch between the grid and a generator on the SI input, make sure that you put in a relay that will prevent the Sunny Boy from “selling” power to the generator

I am sizing an on-grid with battery backup system that requires using a ground-mounted array that will be some distance from the house.  I was favoring a Sunny Island with a 4 kW SunnyBoy with AC coupled to allow using a higher voltage from the array and the 4 kW Sunny Island  shown in their product catalog which is perfect for this project, but all I can find is the Sunny Island 5048.

Is the smaller inverter not yet available?    I will also have a backup generator with transfer switch feeding this system, so are there any issues with the Sunny Island operating from both a generator and the grid depending on which is available?

Thanks,

Jeff Yago
