How long is the warranty for the Sunny Tripower X?

The standard warranty for the Sunny Tripower X is 10 years.


Compatibility

Is the Sunny Tripower X compatible with the SMA Sensor Module (MD.SEN-US-40)?

Yes, the SMA Sensor Module is available as an accessory for the Sunny Tripower X. The following restrictions on use apply:

  • The MD.SEN-US-40 is compatible with the Sunny Tripower X 20-US / 25-US / 30-US with hardware version A2 or newer. The hardware version can be found on the packaging label of the SMA Sensor Module.

  • If the SMA Sensor Module is used in the Sunny Tripower X, you may only connect signal sources (e.g., irradiation sensors) with current signals to the analog input of the SMA Sensor Module.

  • The S0 interface of the SMA Sensor Module cannot be used for the Sunny Tripower X. It is therefore not possible to operate an anemometer or energy meter with the Sunny Tripower X by connecting them to the S0 interface of the SMA Sensor Module.


System Manager

What is a System Manager?

In connection with an energy meter, an SMA System Manager takes over closed-loop control at the point of interconnection and can control or regulate subordinate inverters. The System Manager also takes over system monitoring and communication to the Sunny Portal powered by ennexOS.

The SMA Data Manager or Sunny Tripower X can currently be configured as System Manager. More devices will follow.

The Sunny Home Manager can be used as a superordinate device but is not able to fully perform the functions of the System Manager. For example, the Sunny Home Manager cannot be used for reactive power control.


Communication

Why do I no longer reach the Sunny Tripower X via http://SMA[serial number] or http://SMA[serial number].local?

From firmware version 03.02.07.R the transmission protocol of Sunny Tripower X has changed from http to the secure transmission protocol https. The user interface of the Sunny Tripower X is accessible via https://SMA[serial number] or https://SMA[serial number].local from firmware version 03.02.07.R.


External I/O systems

For analog signals from the grid operator, can I connect a MOXA or WAGO device via Modbus directly to the Sunny Tripower X (without Data Manager)?

Yes, this is easily possible.
