SMA 'Sunny Boy' Grid Connect Inverters
Europe's most popular Grid-Connect inverters, the Sunny Boy inverter is designed to be used with one series string of between 6 to 24 photovoltaic modules depending upon inverter type.
Units can be linked in parallel allowing extreme system design flexibility with the possibility of low cost system expansion and maximum system efficiency. This makes the inverter ideal for use alone or as part of a large PV plant.
To make installation safer and easier, special polarized plug-in Multi Contact cable connectors are used for DC input and an Ac connector for the grid connection. The inverters can be located as close to the PV string as desired (even on the roof, IP65 protection), eliminating long DC wire runs and allowing low DC currents. Connection to the mains is to the house consumer unit.
Inverters automatically shut down in the event of: High/Low grid AC-voltage; High/Low grid frequency; Grid failure; or Inverter Malfunction. In PV applications the inverters automatically adjust PV array loading to provide maximum efficiency of solar panels by means of a maximal power point tracker (MPPT).
All Sunny Boy Inverters are tested and comply with UK G83 grid connection regulations.
