Hi Braulio –
Thank you for your interest in the Sunny Island. More information is available on the Sunny Island product page of our website here: http://www.sma-america.com/products/battery-inverters/sunny-island-4548-us-6048-us.html.
Or, the new Sunny Boy 5.0-US/6.0-US may be an option as it provides up to 2,000 watts of opportunity power when the grid is down but the sun is shining, without the need for batteries: http://www.sma-america.com/products/solarinverters/sunny-boy-50-us-60-us.html.
Best,
Justin

Aaron – the Lithium Ion battery management system uses CANbus communications to speak to the Sunny Island. Only batteries on the approved list here (https://files.sma.de/dl/7910/SI_LiIon-TI-en-41.pdf) are supported by the Sunny Island. Please ensure you are looking at the Sunny Island US section of the document.
