Safety
.1 Intended Use
The sonnenBa erie eco 8.0 is a ba ery s orage sys em which can be used o s ore
elec rical energy. Improper use of his sys em poses a risk of dea h or injury o he
user or hird par ies as well as damage o he produc and o her i ems of value.
The following poin s mus herefore be observed in order o comply wi h he
in ended use of he produc :
•The s orage sys em mus be fully ins alled in accordance wi h he ins alla ion
ins ruc ions.
•The s orage sys em mus be ins alled by a cer ified elec rician.
•The s orage sys em mus only be used a a sui able ins alla ion loca ion.
•The ranspor and s orage condi ions mus be observed.
Failure o comply wi h he condi ions of he warran y and he informa ion
specified in his documen invalida es any warran y claims.
. Requirements for the electrician

Safe y
.3. Danger to life due to explosive and flammable materials
► Do no use he s orage sys em in po en ially explosive environmen s.
.3.3 Danger to life due to product modifications or changes to
the product environment
► Never block or bypass he pro ec ive devices.
► Never modify he pro ec ive devices.
► Do no make changes o he s orage sys em.
► Do no make changes o he elec rical and da a supply lines.
.3.4 Danger of injury and risk of material damage due to improper
repairs
► Never a emp o repair he s orage sys em yourself.
► Have faul s and damage fixed by he sonnen service eam.
.3.5 Conduct in case of a fire / Important information for fire
services
Fire may occur wi h elec rical equipmen despi e i s careful design. Likewise, a fire
in he vicini y of he equipmen can cause he s orage sys em o ca ch fire,
releasing he con en s of he ba ery modules.
► Observe he warnings abou he risk of injury/burns due o he escape of
elec roly e (see sec ion 2.5 – pg. 8).
In he even of a fire in he vicini y of he produc or in he s orage sys em i self,
proceed as follows:
► Only firefigh ers wi h appropria e pro ec ive equipmen (safe y gloves, safe y
clo hing, face guard, brea hing pro ec ion) are permi ed o en er he room where
he burning s orage sys em is loca ed.
There is a danger of elec rocu ion when ex inguishing fire while he s orage sys em
is swi ched on. Therefore, before s ar ing o ex inguish he fire:
► Swi ch off he s orage sys em.
► Swi ch off he mains fuses in he building.
If he s orage sys em and/or mains fuses canno be safely swi ched off:
► Observe he minimum dis ances specified in DIN VDE 0132 for he
ex inguishing agen used.
The s orage sys em works wi h an ou pu vol age of 230 V (AC) and is herefore
considered a low-vol age sys em.

Safe y
► A s orage sys em fire can be ex inguished using conven ional ex inguishing
agen s.
► Wa er is recommended as an ex inguishing agen in order o cool he ba ery
modules and herefore preven hermal runaway in ba ery modules which are s ill
in ac .
Informa ion on he ba ery modules:
•The ba ery modules have a nominal vol age of 51.2 V (DC) and herefore fall
in o he range of pro ec ed ex ra-low vol age (under 60 V DC).
•The ba ery modules do no con ain me allic li hium.
Fur her informa ion can be found in he following documen : Merkbla für
Einsa zkräf e – Einsa z an s a ionären Li hium Solars romspeichern (Informa ion
shee for elec ricians – Use on s a ionary li hium solar energy s orage sys ems,
published by he German Solar Associa ion, or BSW – Bundesverband der
Solarwir schaf e.V.)
.4 Regulations (directives, laws, standards)
► Observe all relevan , curren ly applicable na ional regula ions, especially he
following:
•Regula ions of he local power supply companies.
This lis presen s only a selec ion and does no claim o be exhaus ive. The
au horised elec rician is responsible for knowing and observing all of he regula ions
relevan o heir work.
.5 Warnings
This sec ion con ains specific warnings ha mus always be observed when working
wi h he produc .
Danger to life due to electrocution!
Touching componen s inside he s orage sys em poses a danger o life due o
elec rocu ion.
► Do no ouch any componen s.
► Do no remove any plas ic covers.

Safe y
Risk of injury and burns due to the escape of electrolyte
The ba ery modules ins alled in he s orage sys em are pro ec ed by mul iple
pro ec ive devices and can be opera ed safely.
Despi e heir careful design, he ba ery cells inside he ba ery modules may
corrode or experience hermal runaway in he even of mechanical damage, hea
or a faul .
This can have he following effec s:
•High hea genera ion on he surface of he ba ery cells.
•Elec roly e may escape.
•The escaping elec roly e may igni e and cause an explosive flame.
•The smoke from burning ba ery modules can irri a e he skin, eyes and hroa .
Therefore, proceed as follows:
► Do no open he ba ery modules.
► Do no mechanically damage he ba ery modules (pierce, deform, s rip down,
e c.)
► Do no modify he ba ery modules.
► Do no allow he ba ery modules o come in o con ac wi h wa er (excep
when ex inguishing a fire in he s orage sys em).
► Do no hea he ba ery modules. Opera e hem only wi hin he permissible
empera ure range.
► Do no shor -circui he ba ery modules. Do no allow hem o come in o
con ac wi h me al.
► Do no con inue o use he ba ery modules af er a shor circui .
► Do no deep-discharge he ba ery modules.
In he even ha module con en s are released:
► Do no en er he room under any circums ance.
► Avoid con ac wi h he escaping elec roly e.
► Con ac he fire services.
Damage to battery modules due to deep-discharge!
Wi hou a connec ion o he public elec rical mains, he ba ery modules may be
damaged due o being deep-discharged.
► Do no disconnec he s orage sys em from he public elec rical mains for an
ex ended period of ime.

If he genera ion of power is grea er han he consump ion, he surplus power
(difference be ween genera ion and consump ion) is s ored in he s orage sys em.
The ba ery is charged.
For example, if 3000 wa s are genera ed and 1700 wa s are consumed, he

Consumption > generation
If he consump ion is grea er han he genera ion of power, he defici (difference

For example, if 3500 wa s are consumed and 2000 wa s are genera ed, he

Main enance
6 Maintenance
For faul -free, safe, reliable and long-las ing opera ion of he s orage sys em, i is
essen ial o carry ou regular func ion checks and cleaning.
The ba ery modules ins alled in he s orage sys em do no require main enance.
6.1 Checking function
Table 4:
Checking func ion
Main enance in erval Ac ion o be aken
Every 2 weeks ► Check whe her here is a faul wi h he s orage sys em.
Every 6 mon hs ► Check for changes o he charging s a us.
If func ioning properly, he s orage sys em should be charged o 100% on a
sunny day and he charging s a us should drop significan ly overnigh .
6. Cleaning
Risk of material damage due to use of unsuitable cleaning agent an
excessive water
Unsui able cleaning agen s can scra ch he surfaces. Fur hermore, if cleaning is
no carried ou properly, wa er can ge inside he s orage sys em and cause
damage. For his reason:
► Do no use scouring clo hs, sponges or cleaning agen .
► Take par icular care when cleaning he screen (if applicable) and he LED ring,
since hese can easily be scra ched.
► Use only mois clo hs, no we clo hs, o clean he sys em.
► Do no use wa er je s.
► Carefully clean he ou side of he s orage sys em wi h a clean, mois clo h.
For ougher dir , use a small amoun of household dishwashing de ergen on a
