16 I Sundeck<br />
– THE PERFECT COMBINATION OF AESTHETICS AND EFFICI<strong>EN</strong>CY<br />
The elegant roof-integrated solution Sundeck always looks great, as the solar modules are installed at the same<br />
level as the rest of the roof. The black substructure and the Sunmodule Plus mono black modules combine to<br />
create a stylish unit. The substructure replaces the roof tiles, which saves your customers the cost of a conventional<br />
rooftop covering and makes the Sundeck ideal for renovations or new buildings with tiled or slate roofs. Regardless<br />
of whether it partially or totally covers the roof, the solar power system will make an attractive addition to the building.<br />
The Sundeck is also technically impressive, with its small number of perfectly matched system elements. The<br />
cleverly designed rain-proof substructure is attached directly to the roof battens, making it quick and easy to install.<br />
And, by the way: The Sundeck 8500 can withstand extreme snow loads and is suitable for combined loads of up to<br />
8.5 kN/m², thanks to its specially developed support profiles.<br />
With proven performance and timeless elegance. Solar power production has never looked so good.<br />

The Sunfix plus is our universal mounting system offered in two product versions: Parallel installation for pitched<br />
roofs and elevated installation for gently sloping and flat roofs. Customer- and application-oriented: We put together<br />
a system that meets your individual requirements; our internal planning ensures optimal roof utilization.<br />
Save valuable time! Many system components are largely pre-assembled – for example, the profiles are prefabricated.<br />
Maximum material quality: All fixing and connecting elements are made of high-quality stainless steel<br />
or aluminum.<br />
The all-rounder – proven a thousand times over in practice and universally applicable.<br />
Sunfix plus as parallel-installed version for pitched roofs<br />
This version offers a wide range of roof connection options, such as differently shaped roof hooks for different tile<br />
shapes. You can choose between hanger bolts or rivets for trapezoidal sheet metal roofs, while standing seam<br />
clamps can be used for standing seam sheet metal roofing.<br />
Sunfix plus as elevated version for gently sloping and flat roofs<br />
This version provides flexible mounting options with module tilt angles of 15, 20 or 30 degrees. The sophisticated<br />
system makes it possible to mount the modules in line with, towards or even at right angles to the roof pitch, with<br />
either vertical or horizontal module alignment. The multiple mounting options transform any flat roof into an<br />

20 I Sunfix aero 2.0<br />
2.0 – THE EFFICI<strong>EN</strong>T FLAT ROOF SYSTEM<br />
The new Sunfix aero 2.0 impresses with its optimized system design. The new racks make installation even simpler.<br />
Sunfix aero 2.0 offers all the advantages of an efficient flat roof system for industrial and commercial roofs: The<br />
system has only a few, pre-assembled components and is installed with just an Allen key and without penetrating<br />
the roof. The pre-cut rubber mats are already attached to the aluminum frame. This guarantees fast and simple<br />
installation: Two people can install up to 1 kWp in just five minutes.<br />
The Sunfix aero 2.0 comes in two versions: Sunfix aero 2.0 is optimized for south-facing orientation and Sunfix aero<br />
duo 2.0 for east-west orientation.<br />
New system design<br />
To increase the efficiency of the system, we have made the new racks 4 cm higher. This facilitates cable routing<br />
underneath the modules. The risk of shading through vegetation or ballast stones is also minimized. This ensures<br />
optimum yield even under demanding conditions. The additional, new ballast trays enable optimum point-load<br />
distribution. Two different designs guarantee the reliable and problem-free positioning of the ballast on the roof.<br />
The new design also eliminates the need for pebble racks: The new racks can be set up easily on the pebbles or<br />
embedded in the pebbles. This eliminates a further step on the construction site.<br />
The self-explanatory system for quick installation.<br />

Sunplug eco<br />
Sunplug eco outdoor<br />
– THE POWERFUL INVERTER FOR DOMESTIC SOLAR SYSTEMS<br />
Sunplug is the ideal inverter for smaller domestic solar power systems. With its peak efficiency of 98.6% in the<br />
power classes of 1.2 to 3.6, it gives your customers a particularly high level of homemade power and starts operating<br />
at very low irradiation levels.<br />
The installation of Sunplug is quick and easy. Sunplug is a lightweight unit weighing less than 12 kg, which simplifies<br />
its handling. The inverter is simply attached to the pre-mounted wall bracket and clicked into place. A guided menu<br />
helps you to commission the inverter in just a few steps. Via plug and play yield data is automatically transferred to<br />
the Suntrol Portal, so that you can easily monitor the installed systems.<br />
Through the MPP tracker, Sunplug always maximizes efficiency regardless of the systemʼs voltage, enabling flexible<br />
designs of 3 to 16 modules. Integrated shade management adapts the inverter to current conditions and always<br />
finds the best operating point, thus ensuring maximum power yields.<br />
Sunplug inverters have an innovative cooling concept: heat distribution is optimally regulated. This increases service<br />
life and means that the inverter can be used anywhere at home. This also ensures that the Sunplug is particularly<br />
quiet during operation.<br />

Kostal PIKO<br />
KOSTAL INVERTERS – FLEXIBLE AND COMMUNICATIVE<br />
SolarWorld supplies inverters made by Kostal that boast an impressive range of communication functions. The yield<br />
data can be transferred directly to the Suntrol Portal via Ethernet, where it can be easily monitored. One particularly<br />
practical feature is that the data logger is already integrated – a clear cost advantage for your customers.<br />
Help your customers become even more energy-independent: By combining the Kostal inverters with Suntrol<br />
MyHome, you can distribute energy intelligently throughout the house, which increases the consumption of selfgenerated<br />
electricity.<br />
Equipped with multiple MPP trackers and a wide range of features, the inverters make it possible to flexibly plan both<br />
small and large solar power systems. SolarWorld has a solution for every roof.<br />

MyHome, enables the intelligent distribution of energy in your home. As the energy management control center,<br />
it connects your solar power system to our SunPac battery systems as well as heat pumps and various consumer<br />
loads via smart electrical outlets. And thanks to the new end customer platform, Suntrol MyHome, you can also<br />
control the amount of solar power based on your exact needs. The most important interfaces for connecting<br />
electrical devices are already integrated into this platform. Additional elements can quickly and easily be added<br />
individually at any time and the eManager’s range of functions can be extended with various apps.<br />
Fast, simple installation<br />

26 I Suntrol MyHome<br />
Suntrol MyHome dashboard<br />
– THE INTELLIG<strong>EN</strong>T <strong>EN</strong>ERGY MANAGEM<strong>EN</strong>T PORTAL<br />
Suntrol MyHome is our new energy management portal for your customers. It conveniently informs your customers<br />
about the current yield of their solar energy systems and home energy consumption. Your customers will also<br />
receive a custom yield forecast for their solar power systems based on local weather data. An average consumption<br />
profile of the household is also calculated on the basis of previous power consumption. This information is used<br />
to provide specific recommendations for action during the day. For example, if surplus solar power is available,<br />
MyHome will inform customers that electrical devices such as washing machines or dishwashers should be<br />
switched on so that their own solar power can be used in a more targeted way.<br />
Perfectly combined<br />
Extend your field of competence towards energy management. Suntrol MyHome is perfectly tailored to the Suntrol<br />
eManager. Here, we have placed particular value on plug and play as well as simple installation and configuration.<br />
The combination of a solar power system, SunPac LiOn and Suntrol MyHome guarantees your customers maximum<br />

Suntrol eManager and extension<br />
– THE COMPREH<strong>EN</strong>SIVE <strong>EN</strong>ERGY MANAGEM<strong>EN</strong>T SYSTEM<br />
Suntrol Portal, eManager and MyHome<br />
The Suntrol Portal is the professional portal for system monitoring for installers. It provides an overview of the<br />
performance data of your registered systems at all times on your PC or smartphone, and can recommend system<br />
maintenance for your customers at an early stage. The Suntrol eManager is quickly and inconspicuously installed in<br />
the breaker box of your customers’ homes and provides the basis for intelligent energy distribution in the home. If<br />
your customers also use our new Suntrol MyHome control platform, their share of homemade power and energy<br />
production can be used even more efficiently. With a wide range of options, Suntrol MyHome supports the intelligent<br />
management of solar power.<br />
Consumption analysis and consumer control<br />
With the aid of smart electrical outlets and the pre-installed consumption analysis, Suntrol MyHome precisely<br />
measures the power consumption of individual electrical appliances in the home to help identify power-hungry<br />
devices. It shows how much power each electrical device consumes every day and what the associated costs are.<br />
You can also offer your customers the optional consumer control app for even more efficient use of solar power. This<br />
app automatically switches individual electrical devices on or off depending on how much surplus solar power is<br />
available.<br />
Heat pump connection to the Suntrol eManager<br />
Installing a specific app on the eManager will allow you to control heat pumps as well. Thanks to the digital<br />
i/o extension, you can include any heat pump, regardless of manufacturer, into the intelligent energy management<br />
system via the SG-Ready interface. If there is surplus solar power, the app sends a recommendation to the heat<br />
pump that the power can also be used for heating. This allows customers to increase their rate of self-consumption<br />
in a targeted manner.
28 I SunPac LiOn<br />
SunPac LiOn | Closed cabinet<br />
SunPac LiOn | Open cabinet with 5 battery packs<br />
–THE FLEXIBLE STORAGE SOLUTION FOR MORE <strong>EN</strong>ERGY SELF-SUFFICI<strong>EN</strong>CY<br />
The new generation of the SunPac LiOn storage system is now even more flexible. It is now available in six capacity<br />
steps: 2 kWh, 4 kWh, 6 kWh, 8 kWh, 10 kWh and 12 kWh. The 2-kWh system is the perfect starter model for your customers.<br />
Depending on their requirements, the SunPac LiOn can be extended step by step. The modular structure gives<br />
your customers the opportunity to start using the system at low cost and provides tailor-made use of solar power.<br />
Intelligently structured<br />
The new SunPac LiOn generation now already starts at 2 kWh, and can be extended to up to 12 kWh in 2-kWh steps.<br />
If your customers want to store more power for use at a later time, the storage system can also be flexibly extended<br />
retrospectively. The integrated charge controller does not therefore need to be replaced. SunPac LiOn can also<br />
be perfectly combined with solar power systems that have already been installed. Since the connection is on the<br />
AC side, existing inverters do not need to be replaced.<br />
Consistently compact<br />
Thanks to plug and play, installation is very easy and the installation time has been considerably reduced. The<br />
battery packs are simply integrated into the cabinet and interconnected using plug connectors. This makes retrofitting<br />
just as easy. The space required by the storage system is independent of the performance level, since all<br />
battery packs can be housed in the 1.50 meter-high battery cabinet. Subsequent extension does not therefore<br />
require any extra space and is extremely simple.<br />
