Multicluster Boxes for SUNNY ISLAND 5048
For Easy Set-Up of Stand-Alone and Hybrid Systems
The Multicluster Boxes for Sunny Island 5048 enable the formation of off-grid and hybrid systems with a capacity of between
30 and 300 kW. As the main AC distribution for the connection of generators and to supply loads of up to 300 kW, between
two and 12 three-phase clusters, each consisting of three Sunny Island inverters, can be connected in parallel using the Multi-
cluster Box. To simplify installation, all Multicluster Boxes are completely wired and fitted at the factory and have a main
connector for PV plants or wind turbine systems. All communication cables required for the installation are included in the
delivery.
