Optimal Efficiency - The Sunny Boy inverter family convinces with a real efficiency of more than 93%. The advantages of the string technology (such as connection of the modules in series, missing diode arrays, and minimized mismatching losses) even increase the PV system efficiency by another 1% to 3% compared with other PV systems. The Sunny Boy Family provides the best available system efficiency.

Surge Voltage Protection - Sunny Boy inverters are equipped with thermally monitored varistors on the DC side. A male function of these is indicated with a LED and can be supervised with a remote monitoring system.

Maximum Safety - Personnel safety and hardware reliability are major issues of the products developed by SMA. The Sunny Boy Family safety strategy includes electric separation, isolation monitoring, surge voltage protection and of course the CE declaration. A MSD (Mains monitoring with allocated Switching Devices, German: ENS) in accordance with VDE 0126 is naturally a standard feature of the Sunny Boy inverters. Get Ready for the Future! - The new module-oriented design, the pure sine wave output current, dual processor technology and an integrated one-phase sensitive grid monitoring (according to VDEW regulations) define new standards, resulting in a new era of supplementary grid feeding with PV plants.

Reliability- Highest reliability and a lifetime of over 20 years were major aspects taken into account during the design of the Sunny Boy string inverters.

Overload Capability - The power electronics and the heatsinks of the Sunny Boys are well dimensioned in order to allow the Sunny Boy to operate continuously, even in surroundings with high ambient temperatures. This means: You can rely on the Sunny Boy string inverter.

Flexible - The Sunny Boy String inverters each process the power from 6 to 24 modules, depending on the inverter type. This leaves you enough freedom for the individual design of your PV plant.

Simple Installation - The modules are switched to a string and then connected to the Sunny Boy. DC distribution cases and connection boxes are no longer necessary, resulting in drastically reduced installation costs.

Connect it Anywhere - The Sunny Boy string inverter can be connected to any available part of the AC distribution system of the house, e.g. in an attic or a similar room.

Mount it Anywhere - The stainless steel case (with protection class IP65) and the wide temperature range allow the Sunny Boy to be mounted nearly anywhere. The Sunny Boy can be installed directly on the rack of the PV modules, on the roof or on the wall of your house. A worldwide usage of the inverter is therefore possible.

With the optional modem, you can monitor and record the performance of your Sunny Boy inverter via a PC.

Diagnosis and Communication via Powerline - no extra cables! Of course you can communicate with your Sunny Boy. Measurement values and messages are transmitted to a PC on the existing powerline with a socket modem. The Windows-based program Sunny Data visualizes the system performance and controls the inverters. You are continuously informed about the situation of your PV plan.
