Symbols on the inverter
Symbol
Explanation
Danger to life due to electric shock
The product operates at high voltages.
All work on the product must be
carried out by qualified persons only.
Danger
This symbol indicates that the inverter
must be additionally grounded if
additional grounding or equipotential
bonding is required at the installation
site.
Danger to life due to high voltages in
the inverter; observe waiting time.
High voltages that can cause lethal
electric shocks are present in the live
components of the inverter.
Prior to performing any work on the
inverter, disconnect it from all voltage
sources as described in this document.
Risk of burns due to hot surfaces
The product can get hot during
operation. Avoid contact during
operation. Allow the product to cool
down sufficiently before carrying out
any work.
Observe the documentation
Observe all documentation supplied
with the product.

1 Introduction
The Sunny Tripower Storage 60 is an AC coupled battery
inverter for parallel grid operation. The inverter converts
direct current supplied by a battery into grid-compliant
three-phase alternating current. For operation, the inverter
must be connected to a utility grid and with a permitted
battery. The inverter is not suitable for other applications
(such as operation with PV or wind turbine systems).
The product must only be used as stationary equipment.
The product may only be operated in connection with an
intrinsically safe lithium-ion battery approved by SMA Solar
Technology AG. The battery must include a separate
disconnection device. An updated list of batteries approved
by SMA Solar Technology AG is available at
www.SMA-Solar.com.
The battery must comply with the locally applicable
standards and directives and must be intrinsically safe.
The communication interface of the used battery must be
compatible with the product. The entire battery voltage
range must be completely within the permissible input
voltage range of the product. The maximum permissible DC
input voltage of the product must not be exceeded.
The storage system consists of three main components:
• Inverters
• SMA Inverter Manager
The SMA Inverter Manager is always required for the
operation of the inverter. Up to 20 inverters and 20
batteries can be connection to each SMA Inverter
Manager. The SMA Inverter Manager handles all
communication of the inverters and batteries. It serves
as central interface for data acquisition systems,
upload to cloud services and power-plant control.
• Local commissioning and service tool (LCS-Tool)
The LCS tool is required for the commissioning and
servicing of the inverter via the SMA Inverter Manager.
The LCS-Tool is the primary user interface for the PV
system.
