SUNNY ISLAND 3.0M / 4.4M

The SMA Sunny Island 3.0M/4.4M is the perfect product solution for stand-alone and grid-connected systems with a power output range of 2 to 13 kW.
Furthermore, being a core element in the SMA Flexible Storage System, the Sunny Island stores generated solar power and works with the Sunny Home Manager to manage home energy consumption intelligently.
With its high protection class, wide temperature range and overload capacity, the Sunny Island provides the kind of reliability needed for off-grid use. The intelligent load and energy management ensures operation even in critical situations, such as in the event of high inrush currents or harsh ambient conditions.
Flexible
The SMA Sunny Island offers flexibility in terms of combination with other equipment, which means that the system can be configured precisely to meet the applicable power requirements.
- Choice of battery: The Sunny Island is compatible with many well-known brands of lithium-ion battery and all lead-acid batteries.
- For new and existing PV systems
- Can be retrofitted for single- and three-phase systems
Intelligent
In the SMA Smart Home, the Sunny Home Manager, with the SMA Sunny Island, takes control of intelligent management between the PV system, appliances and storage systems as well as regulates all energy flows.
- Comprehensive visualization in the Sunny Portal
- Forecast-based charging
- Simple planning by using planning guidelines and Sunny Design
Robust
The SMA Sunny Island is impervious to fine desert sand, high humidity in rainforests and salty mist in coastal regions as well as significant temperature fluctuations. It runs reliably under the most extreme conditions—without compromising its efficiency.
- Outdoor installation possible thanks to IP 54
- Wide temperature range
- Can switch any appliance on

Accessories
Sunny Remote Control | |
![]() |
The SRC 20 external control unit enables quick and easy commissioning of Sunny Island 6.0H / 8.0H and 3.0M / 4.4M. A rotating push button and illuminated alert button make operation intuitive; the four-line display shows the status of the plant. Data is archived on an SD card. |
Speedwire data module / Modbus TCP |
|
![]() |
For smooth communication: Speedwire can be used to access PV systems via Sunny Explorer. Device configuration and parameter checks are easy and convenient. In addition, with Modbus all parameters can be viewed remotely or set automatically. And setpoints can be entered for direct control of Sunny Island output. |
Load-shedding protection |
|
![]() |
Load-shedding protection for use in AC-coupled off-grid systems: disconnecting loads during power overloads allows the batteries to recharge – e.g. from the PV plant. To ensure that the protection doesn't drop out due to a short circuit, only DC contactors that are supplied by the battery are used.
Compatible versions are available for all Sunny Island models. |
RS485 Piggy-Back. Plant monitoring and communication |
|
![]() |
The RS485 wiring for plant monitoring and communication allows functional lengths of up to 1200 meters. The Sunny WebBox collects all the data and informs you about the status of the PV plant. With Piggy-Back the data transmission is reliable even in interference-prone areas. Subsequent expansions are possible without problem thanks to the modular design principle. |
