rooftop covering and makes the Sundeck ideal for renovations or new buildings with tiled or slate roofs. Regardless
of whether it partially or totally covers the roof, the solar power system will make an attractive addition to the buil-
ding. The Sundeck is also technically impressive, with its small number of perfectly matched system elements. The
cleverly designed rain-proof substructure is attached directly to the roof battens, making it quick and easy to install.
And, by the way: The Sundeck 8500 can withstand extreme snow loads and is suitable for combined loads of up to
8.5 kN/m², thanks to its specially developed support profiles.

With proven performance and timeless elegance. Solar power production has never looked so good.

roofs and elevated installation for gently sloping and flat roofs. Customer- and application-oriented: We put to-
gether a system that meets your individual requirements; our internal planning ensures optimal roof utilization.
Save valuable time! Many system components are largely pre-assembled – for example, the profiles are prefa-
bricated. Maximum material quality: All fixing and connecting elements are made of high quality stainless steel
or aluminium.

The all-rounder – proven a thousand times over in practice and universally applicable.

Sunfix plus as parallel-installed version for pitched roofs

This version offers a wide range of roof connection options, such as differently shaped roof hooks for different tile
shapes. You can choose between hanger bolts or rivets for trapezoidal sheet metal roofs, while standing seam
clamps can be used for standing seam sheet metal roofing.

Sunfix plus as elevated version for gently sloping and flat roofs
This version provides flexible mounting options with module tilt angles of 15, 20 or 30 degrees. The sophisticated
system makes it possible to mount the modules in line with, towards or even at right angles to the roof pitch, with
either vertical or horizontal module alignment. The multiple mounting options transform any flat roof into an
effective, high-yield surface.

2.0 – The efficient flat roof system

The new Sunfix aero 2.0 impresses with its optimized system design. The new racks make installation even simpler.
Sunfix aero 2.0 offers all the advantages of an efficient flat roof system for industrial and commercial roofs: The
system has only a few, pre-assembled components and is installed with just an Allen key and without penetrating
the roof. The pre-cut rubber mats are already attached to the aluminum frame. This guarantees fast and simple
installation: Two people can install up to 1 kWp in just five minutes.

The Sunfix aero 2.0 comes in two versions: Sunfix aero 2.0 is optimized for south-facing orientation and Sunfix aero
duo 2.0 for east-west orientation.

New system design

To increase the efficiency of the system, we have made the new racks 4 cm higher. This facilitates cable routing
underneath the modules. The risk of shading through vegetation or ballast stones is also minimized. This ensures
optimum yield even under demanding conditions. The additional, new ballast trays enable optimum point-load
distribution. Two different designs guarantee the reliable and problem-free positioning of the ballast on the roof.
The new design also eliminates the need for pebble racks: The new racks can be set up easily on the pebbles or
embedded in the pebbles. This eliminates a further step on the construction site.

The self-explanatory system for quick installation.

PRODUCT BENEFITS

Small number of pre-assembled components

No roof penetration necessary

Rubber mats integrated in the system

 26 I Suntrol MyHome

Suntrol MyHome dashboard

– The intelligent energy management portal

Suntrol MyHome is our new energy management portal for your customers. It conveniently informs your customers
about the current yield of their solar energy systems and home energy consumption. Your customers will also
receive a custom yield forecast for their solar power systems based on local weather data. An average consumption
profile of the household is also calculated on the basis of previous power consumption. This information is used
to provide specific recommendations for action during the day. For example, if surplus solar power is available,
MyHome will inform customers that electrical devices such as washing machines or dishwashers should be
switched on so that their own solar power can be used in a more targeted way.

Perfectly combined
Extend your field of competence towards energy management. Suntrol MyHome is perfectly tailored to the Suntrol
eManager. Here, we have placed particular value on plug and play as well as simple installation and configuration.
The combination of a solar power system, SunPac LiOn and Suntrol MyHome guarantees your customers maximum
homemade power.

PRODUCT BENEFITS

Increase share of homemade power using yield forecast, consumption analysis and consumer control

Perfectly coordinated overall package – everything in a single system

– The comprehensive energy management system

Suntrol Portal, eManager and MyHome

The Suntrol portal is the professional portal for system monitoring for installers. It provides an overview of the
performance data of your registered systems at all times on your PC or smartphone, and can recommend system
maintenance for your customers at an early stage. The Suntrol eManager is quickly and inconspicuously installed in
the breaker box of your customers’ homes and provides the basis for intelligent energy distribution in the home. If
your customers also use our new Suntrol MyHome control platform, their share of homemade power and energy
production can be used even more efficiently. With a wide range of options, Suntrol MyHome supports the intelli-
gent management of solar power.

Consumption analysis and consumer control

With the aid of smart electrical outlets and the pre-installed consumption analysis, Suntrol MyHome precisely
measures the power consumption of individual electrical appliances in the home to help identify power-hungry
devices. It shows how much power each electrical device consumes every day and what the associated costs are.
You can also offer your customers the optional consumer control app for even more efficient use of solar power. This
app automatically switches individual electrical devices on or off depending on how much surplus solar power is
available.

Heat pump connection to the Suntrol eManager

Installing a specific app on the eManager will allow you to control heat pumps as well. Thanks to the digital
i/o extension, you can include any heat pump, regardless of manufacturer, into the intelligent energy management
system via the SG-Ready interface. If there is surplus solar power, the app sends a recommendation to the heat
pump that the power can also be used for heating. This allows customers to increase their rate of self-consumption
in a targeted manner.
 28 I SunPac LiOn

SunPac LiOn | closed cabinet SunPac LiOn | open cabinet with 5 battery packs

–The flexible storage solution for more energy self-sufficiency

The new generation of the SunPac LiOn storage system is now even more flexible. It is now available in five capacity
steps: 2 kWh, 4 kWh, 6 kWh, 8 kWh and 10 kWh. The 2 kWh system is the perfect starter model for your customers.
Depending on their requirements, the SunPac LiOn can be extended step by step. The modular structure gives your
customers the opportunity to start using the system at low cost and provides tailor-made use of solar power.

Intelligently structured
The new SunPac LiOn generation now already starts at 2 kWh, and can be extended to up to 10 kWh in two-kWh
steps. If your customers want to store more power for use at a later time, the storage system can also be flexibly
extended retrospectively. The integrated charge controller does not therefore need to be replaced. SunPac LiOn can
also be perfectly combined with solar power systems that have already been installed. Since the connection is on
the AC side, existing inverters do not need to be replaced.

Consistently compact
Thanks to plug & play, installation is very easy and the installation time has been considerably reduced. The battery
packs are simply integrated into the cabinet and interconnected using plug connectors. This makes retrofitting just
as easy. The space required by the storage system is independent of the performance level, since all battery packs
can be housed in the 1.50 meter-high battery cabinet. Subsequent extension does not therefore require any extra
space and is extremely simple.

PRODUCT BENEFITS

Modular structure available from 2 kWh – charge controller automatically increases the charge and discharge
capacity depending on the number of battery modules used, without charge controllers needing to be replaced

10-year product warranty

10,000 charge cycles amount to a service life of up to 20 years

Plug & play – short installation time thanks to plug-in battery modules and low weight

Compatible with existing solar power systems

Suitable for all inverters – no restriction for new and existing systems
Long-lasting quality
The SunPac LiOn is made in Germany, and all components come from a single source. This guarantees a particularly
sophisticated system. SunPac LiOn is based on modern and particularly reliable lithium-iron phosphate technology.
It impresses with its long service life and especially high cycle stability. 10,000 charge cycles correspond to a service
life of up to 20 years. The charging and discharging capacity depends on the number of installed battery modules.
The SunPac LiOn meets the highest safety standards and offers a 10-year product warranty. The future-oriented
system is always up to date thanks to simple online updates.

For even greater independence: The Suntrol eManager

Together with the SunPac LiOn, the Suntrol eManager and Suntrol MyHome take charge of your household energy
management tasks. All current flows are tracked, and energy is distributed intelligently. Together, the SunPac LiOn
and Suntrol eManager enable for your customers to achieve the maximum possible share of homemade power.
