SUNNY BACKUP-System The “Blackout Blocker” A power outage means disconnection of the PV plant from the grid In today's world it is very difficult to do anything without electricity – imagine no light, no heating, no computer. How many PV plant owners know that in the event of a power outage, the PV plant is disconnected from the grid for safety reasons? From the moment it is disconnected, the PV plant completely ceases to provide solar power, that means neither for grid feed-in or for the building power supply. This situation is going to become an even bigger irritation, because as experts...

Solar Power – even in the event of grid failure How the Sunny Backup-System works Components Automatic Sunny Backupswitching device Solar inverter Sunny Backup Battery Set It all begins with the PV plant. During normal operation, one or more Sunny Boy inverters efficiently feeds solar power generated by the PV plant into the public grid. The Sunny BackupSystem only activates in the event of a grid fault or failure. The switching separates both the PV plant and the power consumers from the grid. While the plant is switched to the house grid, the loads are supplied by the battery after just...

Simple and flexible Almost any PV plant in a TN grounding system can be easily retrofitted with the Sunny Backup-System and there is no special or additional knowledge (e.g., standards, directives, battery technology etc.) required for installation. In addition, with our innovative kit solution, we have minimized the installation costs, planning time and simplified the logistics. Sunny Backup Set Versions » Small for plants from 1 to approx. 4.6 kW » Medium for plants up to 5.7 kW Installation is the same for all kit versions, so it is as easy as choosing the appropriate-sized kit for your...

Power Outage How long can the Sunny Backup bridge a power outage? Example: 5 kW PV plant on a single-family home Typical electricity consumption: 4000 kWh/year divided by 365 days = 11 kWh/day If comfort is reduced (no heavy laundry loads, regulated television viewing, and light cooking), consumption decreases by approx. 50 % = 5.5 kWh for lighting, heating and oven. Battery capacity: 140 Ah x 48 V = 6.7 kWh of which approx. 80 % is useable = 5.4 kWh This allows a four-person family to have electricity for one full day, solely from the battery, and without any additional supply from the PV...
