At April 14th, 2016 the European Commission has released the EU-directive 2016/631 for specification of a grid codex including grid connection rules for electricity production units. The technical requirements for electricity production units described in the new grid codex must be respected by all new production units starting April 27, 2019.
This regulation is valid Europe-wide and will be implemented in respective national norms and codes of practice.
In Germany it will be valid for all new installations connected to low-, medium-, high- and highest-voltage level from April 28th, 2019 the updated VDE code of practice „Erzeugungsanlagen am Niederspannungsnetz“ (VDE-AR-N 4105) as well as the „Technischen Anschlussregeln (TAR) Mittelspannung“ (VDE-AR-N 4110), „TAR Hochspannung“ (VDE-AR-N 4120) und „TAR Höchstspannung“ (VDE-AR-N 4130). For all other EU countries please check out the requirements and validation date of the respective implementation to the new national rules and regulations.
The devices listed below will not meet these specifications and can therefore only be used as replacement devices in existing systems as of this key date:
- SMA Sunny Boy 3.0 to 5.0-1AV-40
- SMA Sunny Tripower 7000 to 12000TL-20
For this reason, orders of the mentioned equipment are excluded from a cancellation and a shift and there is a purchase obligation.
- SMA from its headquarters in Kassel, Germany, is the world’s largest producer of solar inverters and monitoring systems for photovoltaic applications. As market leader for solar inverters SMA is setting benchmarks again and again. The leading-edge efficiencies of 98% and new technology ensures maximum yields and the highest user convenience. While SMA inverters are designed in Germany, the Sunny Central, the Sunny Island, and SMA SunnyBoy inverters in the 3 kW to 7 kW range are assembled in their new plant in Denver, Colorado.These inverters qualify for the ARRA recovery act and are UL and cUL listed. SMA launched its own SMA solar academy in Rocklin, California, in April 2011. Their Solar Academy is equipped with the latest high-tech teaching tools and demonstration inverters to complement its comprehensive range of courses on photovoltaics and SMA products.
