Documented compatibility
For the four US models named in this document: battery BMU firmware ≥ 3.23, BMS ≥ 3.28, inverter firmware ≥ 3.06.15.R. Use the corresponding SMA-SBSE-3.8/4.8/5.8/7.7-ESS-HVL system designation and the specified shielded CAT5e-or-better communications cabling (maximum 10 m between nodes). The manufacturer installation instructions and project requirements still apply.
