Technologically, the inverter is the most important component of a PV plant. It converts the direct current generated in the photovoltaic cells into alternating current compliant with the grid requirements – for self-consumption or feed-in to the power distribution grid. As an intelligent system manager, it also monitors both the PV array and the power distribution grid.
SMA inverters perform important grid management functions, which are becoming increasingly important as electricity production from renewable sources grows. SMA has been developing leading technological solutions and pioneering trends in this area for years including intelligent energy management at a household level, grid integration of solar energy and connecting storage facilities for more effective use of renewable energy.
For the first time the new Sunny Boy 3.0 – 5.0 solution comes with SMA Smart Connected that offers PV system owners true comfort and ease. The automatic inverter monitoring by SMA analyzes operation, reports irregularities and minimizes downtime.
In 3 kW to 5 kW power classes, the Sunny Boy is ideally suited to solar power generation in private homes. Current communication standards make the inverter future-proof, meaning SMA storage solutions and SMA Smart Home can be added at any time.
The intuitive user interface allows you to monitor your solar system data on your smartphone, tablet, laptop or conventional PC. System data can be monitored on all smartphones and tablets.
Proactive monitoring and analysis of the inverter through SMA.
The PV system owner receives monthly performance reports from SMA.
