2.1 Intended Use
SMA Backup Start is required in order to use secure power supply and battery-backup operation in
the SMA Home Energy Solution with the SMA inverters listed below. SMA Backup Start is
equipped with a battery that can be charged to start the system as soon as energy is present in the
PV system or the system battery. Thus, SMA Backup Start makes it possible to start emergency
power operation or battery-backup operation, even with a completely de-energized inverter. This is
particularly necessary if PV module switches are installed in the system that support the the SunSpec
communication signal for Rapid Shutdown systems and disconnect the inverter from the PV
modules. SMA Backup Start can be used in systems with or without a battery.
The product must only be installed in the following SMA inverters:
• SBSE3.8-US-50 (Sunny Boy Smart Energy 3.8-US)
• SBSE4.8-US-50 (Sunny Boy Smart Energy 4.8-US)
• SBSE5.8-US-50 (Sunny Boy Smart Energy 5.8-US)
• SBSE7.7-US-50 (Sunny Boy Smart Energy 7.7-US)
Even with SMA Backup Start, the system is not suitable for supplying life-sustaining medical devices.
A power outage must not lead to personal injury.
All components must remain within their permitted operating ranges and their installation
requirements at all times.
