SMA Multicluster Box for Sunny Island Inverters
AC/DC Coupling for off-grid solar and on-grid battery backup Sunny Island power systems.
The Multicluster Box for the Sunny Island 4548-US and Sunny Island 6048-US is the ideal solution for the easy installation of off-grid systems up to 100 kW.
Two to four three-phase clusters, each with three Sunny Islands, can be connected in parallel. The Multicluster Box is pre-wired for operation and equipped with a main connection for solar systems or wind energy systems. The communication cables necessary for installation are also included.
Larger systems are configured with Multicluster boxes that have a
source/load center like the one pictured above. With the appropriate
Sunny
Island power panels, a Multicluster Box can seamlessly integrate
several Sunny Island inverters into one reliable AC/DC coupled power system.
Larger off-grid solar panel system AC grids are possible and reliable with Sunny Island Multiclusters.
SMA Multicluster for Larger Off-Grid Solar Systems
Because solar energy is available all over the world, most Sunny Island system solutions are primarily based on the use of solar panel power. Moreover, solar panel systems are highly adjustable and wear-resistant. Sunny Island also takes advantage of generators or AC utility grid to charge batteries. Photovoltaic solar power allows one an extended power source when other resources are not available.

Critical power for the US Department of Defense
Solar Electric Supply designed and supplied this 30 kW Sunny Island system to the US Army on the
remote
Bikini Atoll Islands in 2011. It provides critical power for satellite communications, a school, and
base power. The AC coupled system uses a four Sunny Boy 5KW PV inverters and solar panel arrays
distributed on the base that feed the six Sunny Island inverters for 30 kW 208 VAC three phase
power.
Dual 30 kW diesel gensets are controlled by the Sunny Islands and Multicluster for backup and load
sharing. A parallel Deka sealed AGM battery bank rated at 130 kWh @ 48 VDC provides backup power at
night and during cloudy weather. Save time and money by contacting us for
your
next SMA Multicluster project.
Multicluster
systems can become microgrids for
larger local AC grids.
