SMA Sunny Boy 5000 grid-tied inverterSMA Sunny Boy Grid-Tied Inverters

The popular SMA Sunny Boy inverters are available in sizes from 700 watts to 8000 watts, making them ideal for a wide range of applications from small residential systems to very large 3-phase industrial applications. All SMA inverters come standard with built-in LCD digital monitors that display instantaneous power output, the current day's power production, and the total energy produced since installation.

All SMA inverters are compliant with UL 1741, UL 1998, IEEE-929, IEEE-1547, FCC Part 15 A & B.

The new SMA inverters now have a standard 10-year warranty, with 5- and 10-year extensions available.

Sunny Boy 2000HFUS / 2500HFUS / 3000HFUS

Featuring world-class efficiency, a slim-line enclosure and reduced weight, the Sunny Boy HF series of inverters can be mounted in between wall studs, making it a good choice for new construction and space-constrained retrofits. Installation is simplified by automatic grid voltage detection and field configuration for positive ground. An input voltage range of 175 to 600 volts allows this inverter to work with a wide variety of module types and makes string sizing easier. The modern graphic display and wireless Bluetooth communication system also makes the new Sunny Boy easy to use.

Also available for the HFUS series are an installation frame for integration in between studs in wood-framed walls and an RS-485 communication unit multi-function relay.

Sunny Boy SB700

SMA Sunny Boy grid-tied inverterThe SB700 has a 120 VAC output and three different configurable input voltage ranges. The 120 volt output allows it to be used on 120/240 VAC systems as well as 208 VAC systems. Evergreen ES-A modules and typical 60-cell grid-tie modules cannot be used with this inverter because their voltage is too low to reach the MPPT voltage of this inverter before exceeding the maximum wattage allowed. It can be used with SANYO modules and with 36-cell and 72-cell modules. The SB700 is housed in a completely sealed stainless steel enclosure. Outdoor installation is recommended for the sealed inverters so natural air-flow can cool the heat-sink.

Sunny Boy 3000US, 3800US, and 4000US

The compact design of the Sunny Boy 3000US, 3800US, and 4000US inverters makes them suitable for residential and light commercial use and the integrated DC disconnect helps keep installations cost effective. They are field configurable for positive ground systems. The 3000US and 4000US are auto-sensing for use on 240 and 208 VAC applications. The 3800US is for 240VAC only, and is specifically sized for buildings with a 100A service entrance panel (16A max AC current). They come with a DC disconnect and a 4-circuit integrated fused series string combiner that can be used with fuses up to 20 amps. It is shipped with 15-amp fuses. Now ARRA compliant.

Sunny Boy 5000US / 6000US / 7000US / 8000US

The 5000US, 6000US and 7000US can be used in 208, 240 and 277 VAC applications. The 8000US can be used in 240 and 277 VAC applications. These inverters also come with a DC disconnect switch that connects to the bottom of the inverter. The disconnect has a 4-circuit integrated fused series string combiner that can be used with fuses up to 20 amps. The disconnect also has an input main lug for array DC input if the system has a separate combiner box. It is shipped with 15-amp fuses. All four models are field-configurable for positive ground systems.

All inverters are compliant with UL 1741, UL 1998, IEEE-929, IEEE-1547, FCC Part 15 A & B.
