2.1 Appropriate Usage
The Sunny Mini Central is a PV inverter that converts the DC current of solar cells to AC current and
feeds it into the public grid.
Principle of a PV System with the Sunny Mini Central
The Sunny Mini Central may only be operated with PV generators (modules and cabling) of
protection class II. Do not connect any sources of energy other than PV modules to the Sunny Mini
Central.
PV modules with large capacities relative to ground, such as thin-film modules with cells on a metallic
substrate, are therefore only to be implemented if their coupling capacitance is below 50 nF/kWp.
During grid feeding, a leakage current flows from the cells to the earth. The magnitude of this current
depends on the manner in which the modules are installed and, to no small extent, on the weather
(rain, snow). This operational leakage current is not to exceed 50 mA.
When designing the PV system, ensure that the values comply with the permitted operating range of
all components at all times. The free design program "Sunny Design" (www.SMA.de/SunnyDesign)
will assist you. The manufacturer of the PV modules must have approved the modules for use with this
Sunny Mini Central unit. You must also ensure that all measures recommended by the module
manufacturer for long-term maintenance of the module properties are taken (see also Technical
Information "Module Technology", in the download area of www.SMA.de).

Do not use the Sunny Boy for purposes other than those described here. Alternative uses,
modifications to the Sunny Boy or the installation of components not expressly recommended or sold
by the manufacturer void the warranty claims and operating license.
2.2 Safety Precautions
DANGER!
Danger to life due to high voltages in the Sunny Mini Central!
All work on the Sunny Mini Central must be carried out by a qualified electrician.
DANGER!
Danger of burn injuries due to hot housing parts!
• Do not touch the housing body during operation.
• Only touch the cover during operation.
NOTICE!
Dust or water entering the Sunny Mini Central can damage the device!
If the Electronic Solar Switch has been pulled out, the Sunny Mini Central only has a
protection rating of IP21.
If the device has been temporarily decommissioned, proceed as follows to restore the IP65
protection rating:
• Unplug all DC plug connectors and seal them with the protecting caps provided.
• Attach the Electronic Solar Switch.
Grounding the PV generator
Comply with the local requirements for grounding the modules and the PV generator.
SMA Solar Technology recommends connecting the generator frame and other electricity
conducting surfaces such that there is continuous conduction and to connect them to the
ground in order to reach maximum protection for property and persons.

DANGER!
Danger to life due to fire or explosion!
Despite careful construction, a fire can occur with electrical devices.
• Do not mount the Sunny Mini Central on flammable construction materials.
• Do not mount the Sunny Mini Central in areas where highly flammable materials are
stored.
• Do not mount the Sunny Mini Central in areas where there is a risk of explosion.
CAUTION!
Danger of burn injuries due to hot housing parts!
• Mount the Sunny Mini Central such that it cannot be touched inadvertently.

4.1.2 Ambient Conditions
• The mounting location and mounting method must be suitable for the weight and dimensions of
the Sunny Mini Central.
• Mounting on a solid surface.
• The mounting location must be accessible at all times.
• The ambient temperature should be below 40 °C at all times to guarantee optimal operation.
• Do not expose the Sunny Mini Central to direct sunlight to avoid a power reduction due to
excessive heating.
• In a living area, do not mount the unit on
plasterboard etc. walls as otherwise audible
vibrations are likely to result.
The Sunny Mini Central can make noises when in
use which can be seen as a nuisance when installed
in a living area.
4.1.3 Safety Clearances
Observe the following minimum clearances to walls, other devices or objects to guarantee sufficient
heat dissipation and enough space for pulling the Electronic Solar Switch handle.
Direction Minimum Clearance
Sidewise 30 cm
Above 30 cm
Bottom 50 cm
Front 5 cm
Multiple Sunny Mini Centrals installed in areas with high ambient temperatures
The individual Sunny Mini Central units must be far enough apart to ensure that the
individual Sunny Mini Central units do not take in the cooling air of the neighboring unit.
If necessary, increase the clearance and ensure that the supply of cool air is sufficient to
cool the Sunny Mini Centrals.
