Integration of TS4-R module technology
The inverter is equipped with an RS485 interface and the Cloud Connect function as standard to
integrate the TS4 module technology. Up to three gateways in line topology can be connected to
the inverter via the RS485 interface. The use of a separate Cloud Connect Advanced
communication unit is not required. The Cloud Connect function has the following functions:
• Easy integration of the TS4 module technology components into the system
• Easy commissioning and configuration via the user interface of the inverter
• Visualization and monitoring via Sunny Portal
Grid management services
The product is equipped with service functions for grid management.
Depending on the requirements of the grid operator, you can activate and configure the functions
(e.g. active power limitation) via operating parameters.
Parallel Operation of the DC Inputs A and B
You have the option of operating the inverter DC inputs A and B in parallel. As a result, and as
opposed to normal operation, several parallel-connected strings can be connected to the inverter.
The inverter automatically detects the parallel operation of the DC inputs A and B.
SMA ShadeFix
The inverter is equipped with the shade management system SMA ShadeFix. SMA ShadeFix uses
an intelligent MPP tracking system to determine the operating point with the highest output during
shading conditions. With SMA ShadeFix, inverters use the best possible energy supply from the PV
modules at all times to increase yields in shaded systems. SMA ShadeFix is enabled by default. The
time interval of SMA ShadeFix is usually six minutes. This means that the inverter determines the
optimum operating point every six minutes. Depending on the PV system or shading situation, it may
be useful to adjust the time interval.
All-pole sensitive residual-current monitoring unit
The all-pole sensitive residual-current monitoring unit detects alternating and direct differential
currents. In single-phase and three-phase inverters, the integrated differential current sensor detects
the current difference between the neutral conductor and the line conductor(s). If the current
difference increases suddenly, the inverter disconnects from the utility grid.
SMA Smart Connected
SMA Smart Connected is the free monitoring of the product via the SMA Sunny Portal. Thanks to
SMA Smart Connected, the operator and qualified person will be informed automatically and
proactively about product events that occur.
SMA Smart Connected is activated during registration in Sunny Portal. In order to use SMA Smart
Connected, it is necessary that the product is permanently connected to Sunny Portal and the data
of the operator and qualified person is stored in Sunny Portal and up-to-date.
