malfunction, the Sunny Island attempts to carry out the next autostart immediately. The number of autostarts is restricted.
If the Sunny Island is in operation without malfunctions for ten minutes, it resets the autostart counter.
When the maximum number of autostarts has been reached, the Sunny Island reacts as follows:
The Sunny Island waits ten minutes.
The autostart counter is reset.
The Sunny Island attempts to perform an autostart.
When the maximum number of autostarts has been reached, the Sunny Island waits again for ten minutes.
9.2 Acknowledging Errors

If a malfunction or failure occurs, the Sunny Island switches to standby mode. Once you have remedied the cause of the
malfunction, you can enable a restart of the Sunny Island by acknowledging the error.
Procedure:
1. Eliminate the cause.
2. Press the button on the Sunny Remote Control. This acknowledges the error.
3. Start the system (see Section4.2, page17).

9 Troubleshooting
After automatic disconnection in battery protection mode, the Sunny Island can no longer be
started?
Only charge the battery when the Sunny Island cannot be switched on
(see Section9.6 "Charging the Battery after Automatic Shutdown in Off-Grid Systems", page69).
Switch off all loads.

If there is a generator in the system, start the generator manually. When doing so, observe the warm-up time of
the generator. Five minutes without charging current may result in disconnection of the Sunny Island.
If sufficient power is available from the generator or the AC sources in the stand-alone grid, e.g. sufficient solar
irradiation for PV inverters, switch the Sunny Island on. AC sources in the stand-alone grid can only start feeding
in electric current once the Sunny Island has been started and is in operation.

Questions regarding the Battery
A battery cell is defective?
Remove the defective battery cell from the battery system. This reduces the rated voltage of the battery by the
voltage of the battery cell.
In the QCG, set the current rated voltage of the battery under New Battery (see Section10.8 "Replacing the
Battery", page77).
The state of charge of the battery is not 100 percent after completion of a full charge?
The power requirements of the loads might have been so high before completion of the full charge that the battery
could not be charged 100 percent.
If necessary, select the parameter 222.03 AptTmFul and set to a longer time period.
The battery discharges even though the generator is running?

The Sunny Island may not have connected to the generator.
Eliminate the cause (see Section9.5.4 "Questions regarding the Generator", page67).
The power of the loads might exceed the power of the generator.
What do you need to do after replacing a battery current sensor?
Calibrate the battery current sensor (see the installation manual of the Sunny Island for commissioning
instructions).
9.5.4
Questions regarding the Generator
The Sunny Island does not connect to the running generator?

A high output power of the Sunny Island when the battery state of charge is low may lead to the Sunny Island not
being able to raise the AC voltage in the stand-alone grid to the AC voltage of the generator. The Sunny Island
cancels the synchronization.
To charge the battery, reduce the power of the loads.
The generator voltage might not be within the limiting values for voltage and frequency.
Check whether the symbol " " is displayed permanently in standard mode.
If the " " symbol is not displayed, ensure that the fuse is not defective or the circuit breaker is activated.
If the " " symbol is not displayed permanently, the generator voltage is sporadically outside the limiting values.
Set the limiting values for voltage and frequency of the generator voltage
(see the installation manual of the Sunny Island).
If the " " symbol is displayed permanently, the Sunny Island is in the warm-up period or is blocked for
connection. Tip: Check whether the Sunny Remote Control displays the " " warning symbol in standard mode.
The Sunny Island only connects to the generator for a short time?
The generator might be overloaded.
Select the parameter 234.03 GnCurNom and set it to 75 percent of the rated current of the generator.
If possible, reduce the power of the loads.

the warning symbol " " is shown in the standard mode of the Sunny Remote Control.
Select the 540.02 GnAck parameter and set to Ackn. This acknowledges the generator error.
The Sunny Island does not reconnect to the generator after a disconnection from the generator due
to noncompliance with the limiting values for voltage and frequency?
The Sunny Island is switched with a hysteresis, i.e. the limiting values for connection do not correspond to the limiting
values for disconnection.
To unload the generator, disconnect unnecessary loads.
Wait until the voltage and frequency have reached the nominal values.
9.5.5
Questions regarding Cluster Systems and Multicluster Systems
Extension clusters remain in standby mode even though the main cluster is in inverter mode?
The data cable between the masters of the individual clusters might not be connected. The master of the main cluster
cannot forward the "Start" command to the masters of the extension clusters.
The multicluster system is not supplying full power?

An extension cluster or individual Sunny Island inverters of an extension cluster might have failed.
High levels of energy is transferred between the clusters in the multicluster system?
The state of charge of the batteries might differ temporarily. The off-grid system equalizes different states of charge
automatically.
The nominal frequencies and nominal voltages might be defined differently.
Set the frequencies and voltages in the 210# Inverter Settings menu to the same values for all masters.
The battery capacities might differ significantly.
Distribute the battery capacities to the clusters as evenly as possible.
Individual battery cells of a battery might have failed.

9.6 Charging the Battery after Automatic Shutdown in Off-Grid Systems

When a battery undergoes a deep discharge, the Sunny Island shuts down automatically and you cannot restart the
Sunny Island. In order to start the Sunny Island again after an automatic shutdown, you must charge the battery in
emergency charge mode.
In emergency charge mode, the Sunny Island does not form a separate stand-alone grid, and you can charge the battery
using a generator. Battery management is active in emergency charge mode and the Sunny Island charges the battery
in accordance with the parameter settings. In standby mode or in the QCG, you can adjust the parameters for the battery,
e.g. the battery nominal voltage, if a battery cell fails.
Restricted management functions in emergency charge mode
In emergency charge mode, the generator management is not active. The limits for voltage, current and frequency
are not monitored. Set the maximum current consumption of the Sunny Island for charging the battery in emergency
charge mode. The Sunny Island does not record additional strain on the generator due to loads.
