SMA Home Storage

The SMA Home Storage will be available in Germany and Austria from September 2023. Belgium, the Netherlands and Spain will follow as from November 2023. Pending certification, it will also be available in Italy in November.

As an installer, you can order the SMA Home Storage from a local distributor of SMA solutions in those countries where the inverter is available.

If you are a private customer, please enquire with an installer of solar solutions in your area.

The SMA Home Storage is compatible with the hybrid inverters of SMA: the Sunny Boy Smart Energy and the Sunny Tripower Smart Energy.

The duration of the standard warranty for the SMA Home Storage is two years. The owner gets eight years extra warranty by registering the product in the SMA Online Service Center within 30 days after commissioning, which makes 10 years in total. More information can be found here: www.sma.de/en/service-support/warranty-cover-home. The duration of the performance warranty is 12 years.

SMA warrants the energy throughput of 7.2 MWh per 1 kWh of the usable capacity. After the maximum energy throughput, the product retains at least 60 percent of its usable capacity (End of life). The energy throughput is equivalent to 8000 full charge and discharge cycles.

The product should not remain idle for more than 6 months. It should be installed within 9 months from the date of manufacturing. You can find the manufacturing date on the carton box or type label of the product.

The SMA Home Storage offers modules with a capacity of 3.28 kWh each. You can combine these modules to achieve different total capacities: 2 modules provide 6.56 kWh, 3 modules offer 9.84 kWh, 4 modules offer 13.12 kWh, and 5 modules offer 16.4 kWh. The Sunny Boy Smart Energy system supports the use of one to four battery modules, while the Sunny Tripower Smart Energy system allows the use of two to five battery modules.

Optimal performance of the SMA Home Storage is ensured between 15°C and 45°C. The SMA Home Storage is in line with IP 65 and can be installed outdoors. Discharge of the battery is possible between -10°C and 50°C, charging of the battery works between 0°C and 50°C. The ambient temperature range is from -20°C to 60°C.

The SMA Home Storage is specifically designed for use in European countries and has obtained certification in accordance with various European and international standards.

• IEC 62477​

• IEC 62619​

• VDE 2510-50​

• UN38.3

Certification will be available soon in the download area of the product.

The current State of Charge (SOC) can be monitored and viewed through the energy monitoring feature in the Sunny Portal powered by ennexOS, or through the SMA Energy app.

Yes, it is possible to expand the installed system with more capacity within two years of the initial installation. This allows you to customize and optimize the system according to individual needs.

The disposal of a decommissioned SMA Home Storage cannot be handled by SMA itself but needs to be executed via local recycling service providers. Each country has separate recycling regulations that must be taken into account and that SMA will comply to. Further information will follow soon and will be available in the download area of the product.

The SMA Solar Academy will offer a range of webinars and trainings for the SMA Home Energy Solutions: solaracademy.sma.de/en/courses.

Our instructors will be happy to answer any technical or general questions you may have about the SMA Home Storage.

With the SMA Home Storage homeowners are well prepared for a blackout. Due to the high current and high voltage of the system, the maximum power should enough for all common appliances in the house. The individual backup options are available on the product page of the inverter on this website in the section ‘products’.

Yes, the SMA Home Storage is equipped with a black start functionality. This functionality can be manually activated at the battery. Additionally, the hybrid inverters in the system will automatically begin operating at sunrise.

A parallel connection of storage systems is not possible. Instead, the modular capacity between 3.28 kWh and 16.4 kWh of the SMA Home Storage can be used.

Yes, the SMA Home Storage can be used to supply a heat pump in the system. The connection or communication is carried out by the Sunny Home Manager or the SG ready contact from the inverter.

Yes, it is possible to charge the EV with the SMA Home Storage. The charging mode must be set to “Fast charging” or “Charging with setpoint” in the SMA EV Charger settings.

The SMA Home Storage Module is compatible only with the current SMA hybrid inverters, specifically the Sunny Tripower Smart Energy and Sunny Boy Smart Energy models.

The Sunny Boy Storage models (SBS2.5-1VL-10 to SBS 3.7 -6.0-10) are not compatible for retrofitting.

Yes, the SMA Home Storage can only be used with the SMA hybrid inverters. The inverters can be used as a battery inverter only without PV.
