What you can check
- Read the event in the Sunny Island web interface / Sunny Portal and note it for your installer.
- Contact your installer - battery sensor/voltage issues need a qualified person.
What the engineer will check
- Check load profile vs Sunny Island rating, battery bank voltage/charge, temperature sensor wiring, fans; parameter changes via installer login.
Who to ask for: Battery / off-grid installer (SMA Sunny Island trained).
Certification: Qualified electrician competent in battery energy storage (IET Code of Practice for Electrical Energy Storage Systems); manufacturer-trained installer.
