SMA Solar Solução de backup SMA para BU-STPH-4P63KSTHX

Grid outages can halt your solar production and leave critical loads without power. The SMA Backup Solution BU-STPH-4P63K solves this by enabling island mode operation for compatible Sunny Tripower CORE1 inverters. When the grid fails, this automatic transfer switch disconnects from the grid and allows the inverter to supply backup power to selected loads, ensuring continuous operation of essential equipment.

Who is it for

This backup solution is ideal for commercial and industrial solar installations using SMA Sunny Tripower CORE1 inverters (e.g., STP 50-40, STP 62-40). It is perfect for businesses that require reliable backup power for critical loads such as refrigeration, IT equipment, or lighting during grid outages.

Tips

For optimal performance, ensure the backup solution is installed by a qualified electrician and configured with a compatible SMA Data Manager. Verify that the selected backup loads do not exceed the inverter's rated output during island operation. Regular testing of the transfer switch is recommended to ensure reliable operation during actual grid outages.
