Technical Information

How can the cable length between the battery modules be adjusted?

The DC and communication cables between battery modules mounted directly above each other can be too short or too long under unfavorable conditions.

To avoid cables that are too short or too long, you can adjust the length of the DC and communication cables as follows:

Release the cable gland from the enclosure. As needed, push the excess length of the cable into the enclosure or pull out cables that are too short. Tighten the cable gland. This ensures proper strain relief.


Why is the charging power reduced from a state of charge of 90%?

Currently, the charging power is limited from a state of charge of 90% to 4 A to protect the battery. SMA is working on an optimized charging strategy that can be adjusted at a later date via a software update.


Which inverters is the SMA Home Storage compatible with?

SMA Home Storage is compatible with hybrid inverters from SMA: the Sunny Boy Smart Energy.


How many full charge and discharge cycles are covered by the warranty?

SMA guarantees a gross current of 7.2 MWh per 1 kWh of usable capacity. In addition to 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.


What energy capacities are available for the SMA Home Storage?

SMA Home Storage provides modules with a capacity of 4.7 kWh each. You can combine these modules to achieve different total capacities, starting at 9.4 kWh: 2 modules provide 9.4 kWh, 3 modules provide 14.2 kWh, 4 modules provide 18.9 kWh.
