Solar Inverters From SMA

SMA Solar Technology AG is a German-based solar energy system supplier with its headquarters in Niestetal, that is the in 1981. With offices in 20 countries employing over 3000 people, SMA produces and manufactures solar inverters for solar photovoltaic (PV) systems for both on-grid and off-grid power supply and backup systems. The advent of novel technology is making the global deployment of photovoltaic increasingly feasible. The immense innovation and a diverse product range at SMA Solar Technology AG have ranked it among the most successful companies working on Solar Technology for over 30 years, developing state-of-the-art photovoltaic inverters and monitoring systems.

SMA solar inverters are sold under the product family name of Sunny Boy for individual home systems, Sunny Tripower for multi-megawatt range medium-sized plants and Sunny Central for ground-based, larger systems, and solar farms from 500 kW to several-Megawatts that feedback into the utility grid. SMA also manufactures independent stand-alone systems by the name of Sunny Island, in addition to the on-grid and off-grid battery systems. The SMA solar inverters come with a range of complementary components for energy system management, monitoring, and data analysis.

Being the leading global specialist in PV system technology, SMA has set the standards for the supply of decentralized solar energy in the future. They provide innovative solutions for all types of photovoltaic applications, and their unmatchable service offers far more independence to the customer regarding meeting their energy requirements. SMA is contributing to the global transition to a futuristic, decentralized and self-sufficient energy supply system, in collaboration with their clients and partners. Customers all across the globe can rely on their exceptional services and support, even after commissioning of the PV systems to ensure cost-efficient operation throughout the product lifetime.

SMA acknowledges the fact that to cater to the customer needs, every Photovoltaic energy system must be uniquely designed, so they provide a vast range of products. This makes SMA the only manufacturer in the world to offer a customized inverter to fit each requirement, be it for an on- grid connection, off-grid supply or for the backup operation. They cover everything, from the KW to the MW range, for all types of module, i.e., monocrystalline silicon, polycrystalline silicon, thin films or concentrator technology.

 Following are the few general features of the SMA solar inverters in Kerala.

• They employ smart system managers
• Are ranked the highest efficiency inverters
• Extremely flexible devices
• Compatible with parallel operation
• Can support outdoor installation

SMA Solar inverters in Kerala offer the highest power density per device and allow for optimal performance despite their compact design and lightweight. Which means that their transportation is cheaper and installation, much more comfortable. When combined with project-specific DC Combiner Boxes, the Photovoltaic arrays can be scaled up to 150 % their size.

Safety and reliability with SMA Solar Inverters

SMA pays attention to the most important issues when it comes to product design and output –optimal plant availability and maximum yield. All of the components and features are custom-tailored to minimize the weight, reduce potential error sources and to enhance efficiency. Reliable technologies such as the SMA OptiCool active cooling system are also employed which promise extended the lifetime of the inverters

Scalability and flexible plant design.

SMA uses technology that combines the merits of decentralized system design with those of a central inverter concept, making it highly flexible and easy to scale up or down.

Type of SMA Solar Inverters

Sunny Tripower Core 1

The world’s very first stand-alone string inverter for a decentralized rooftop system and ground-based, medium range photovoltaic systems in addition to roofed parking spaces. It is  the third generation of the triumphant Sunny Tripower family and is modernizing commercial inverters with its unique design. SMA engineers designed an inverter combining an innovative architecture with an easy installation method, reducing installation time by 60% for commercial PV systems and providing all target groups with an excellent return on investment.

Sunny Boy Storage

This is a battery inverter for high-voltage batteries

The Sunny Boy Storage is a battery inverter for high voltage batteries which offers a significantly more affordable purchase and installation costs as well as flexible application. This battery inverter is based on AC coupling and can be installed and expanded at any site even if a PV system lightweight. It utilizes high voltage technology which makes it light weight and cost-effective and since it uses a battery management system that is integrated, the number of components it carries is also comparatively small, making the Sunny Boy Storage the most appropriate choice when switching to solar PV systems for power supply.

Sunny Island

The Sunny Island supports a vast range of on-grid/ off-grid applications from 3 to 25 kW and can utilized for operation at the domestic range to remote off-grid areas. Highly flexible regarding compatibility with other equipment, this inverter allows the system to be configured precisely according to the power requirements. It can be retrofitted for single-phase and three-phase systems and increasing the system size with SMA multicluster technology is quite easy.
