Jeff,<br><br>
I just went through this. The SI and the US 40s still work together. They
do not use a 485 card. The Sunny Boys are programmed in off grid mode,
and the Sunny Islands take care of the UL1741 requirements.<br><br>
Tim at SMA gave me this information. The Sunny Boys will taper charge as
shown on the graph below.<br><br>
I called to ask about the 5.0 and 6.0, so you might want to check to be
certain about other models. <br><br>

Can anyone confirm for me that the SUNNY BOY 3.0-US / 3.8-US / 5.0-US /
6.0-US / 7.0-US / 7.7-US series is or is not supported by the Sunny
Island in off-grid AC coupling mode? The technical paper on the
subject here
<a href="http://files.sma.de/dl/7910/SB-OffGrid-TI-US-en-18.pdf">
http://files.sma.de/dl/7910/SB-OffGrid-TI-US-en-18.pdf</a>
does not list them but I'm hoping it's cause that paper is dated Feb
'16.<br><br>
I sure hope they are because that paper shows they discontinued support
the the SUNNY BOY 3000TL-US / 3800TL-US / 4000TL-US / 5000TL-US /
6000TL-US / 7000TL-US / 7700TL-US series! Why!??<br><br>
Hope you have good news for me!<br><br>
Best,<br><br>
