Sunny Boy 1100 Inverter

Highest System Efficiency

The Sunny Boy has an efficiency of 93%. The advantages of modular system technology, modules only connected in series, no series diodes, etc, increase the overall efficiency by a further 1 to 3 % as compared with other PV grid inverters.

Highest Safety

Personal protection and plant safety are very important aims at SMA. Therefore the Sunny Boy includes galvanic separation, insulation monitoring, over voltage protection, as well as being CE marked.

Trend-Setting Technology

With its module-oriented system technology, sine wave output , two-processor technology, and integrated single-phase mains monitoring complying with the latest VDEW & G59/1 regulations, the Sunny Boy sets the standards for a new era of coupling PV plants to the mains.

Over voltage Protection

Thermally supervised varistors are integrated in the inverter on the PV input side. Responses from the thermal supervision are indicated and can be displayed on a PC via Sunny Data software.

Reliable

High reliability and a life of more than 20 years were systematically taken into consideration during the development.

Design Reserves

The power unit and heat sink are dimensioned generously so that the nominal power can always be supplied to the mains, even under high ambient temperature conditions.

Flexible

You can connect 6, 8, or 10 modules to the Sunny Boy, just as you like.

Simple lnstallation

The modules are simply connected in series and then to the Sunny Boy. PV distribution boxes are omitted, which leads to reduced material and installation costs.

Installable Anywhere

With an environmental Index of Protection of IP65 and an extended temperature range it is possible to install the Sunny Boy virtually anywhere (on the PV frame, on the roof, on a wall, etc.).

The SB 2500U

The extremely low specific price makes the Sunny Boy SB2500u a great bargain. Its nominal power of 2200 W can be fed to the grid over the whole input voltage range of 250 to 600 V due to a maximum current of 11 A . The Sunny Boy 2500's maximum efficiency of 94 % is even higher than that of the smaller transformer-based devices of the Sunny Boy Family.

The variable DC input range and the possibility to connect up to three strings with the reliable Multi-Contact connectors make any module configuration possible. These features enable the operator to freely design and implement personal needs for the solar system. However, the optimal configuration is a solar generator with an output of 2750 to 3450 W.

The workhorse of the American PV Inverter market. Since it's introduction over 2 years ago, 14,500 SB 2500s have been installed nationwide. With it's flexible output voltage, either 240 Vac or 208 Vac, the SB 2500U is ready to tackle a wide range of applications from medium sized residential systems to very large 3-phase industrial systems. Just like every other Sunny Boy Inverter the SB2500U comes configurable for all of the various communications options that are available from SMA.

The SB 1100U

The newest addition to the Sunny Boy Family, the SB1100U is perfect for those small kilowatt systems on residential buildings, as a filler inverter to utilize the maximum amount of available roof area, or on buildings with very irregular rooftops. Just like every other Sunny Boy Inverter the SB1100U comes configurable for all of the various communications options that are available, so they can be added to existing systems without any difficulty. As an added advantage, the SB1100U has a new control board that allows for any remote communications option to be used simultaneously with the Sunny Boy Display!

The SB 1800U

A rock solid inverter for PV installations near 2KW. The SB1800U is also great for commercial or industrial installations with 208V, line to line, 120V line to neutral, three phase power. Just like every other Sunny Boy Inverter the SB1800U comes configurable for all of the various communications options that are available from SMA.

Sunny Boy Control Light

Modular PV system technology means the String Inverters are spread over the entire plant. The easiest and fastest way to check and monitor each single Sunny Boy is Powerline Communication via the ordinary electricity cables of the in-house network. As if getting data "straight from the socket".

The affordable solution for PV monitoring

The Sunny Boy Control Light is ideal for monitoring and data collection in smaller PV plants. Powerline communication means that no additional hardware or cabling is necessary for transmission of system data. Communication with up to 20 inverters and large cost savings on material means that this is the ideal solution for PV plants on a tight budget.

The user can conveniently read operating states, the amount of power currently fed to the grid as well as the energy counter of the Sunny Boys. This information can be visualized on a PC or automatically sent by fax. To spare the user having to connect the PC daily the Sunny Boy Control Light saves energy counts of the past 200 days. In addition the device has an event log of up to 50 status messages.

Its exterior looks very much like the Sunny Boy Control. The Light version also has a four-line LC display and four operator buttons. Communication to the plant runs via Powerline. The PV plant can be configured as usual by a PC connected via RS232 and the Sunny Data Control software. Much as its larger companions the Sunny Boy Control Light also enables the operator to connect a large display.

Sunny Boy Control Plus

The Sunny Boy Control Plus is the ultimate in data acquisition, manipulation, and storage. With extra analog and digital channels for increased data monitoring, the Sunny Boy Control Plus is the foremost tool for PV plant analysis. With its additional communication port the Sunny Boy Control Plus can be used to talk to a BetaBrite lobby display in addition to its normal communication channel to a PC. The sunny boy control plus is highly flexible in its communication options. Communication between the Sunny Boy inverters and the Sunny Boy Control can be accomplished through the Power line, RS 485, or RS 232. Between your Sunny Boy Control and your PC communication is usually accomplished with RS 232. The optional RS 485 interface allows for future expansion of you PV plant with the ability to communicate to multiple Sunny Boy Controls.

 Interfaces

6 analog input ports with configurable input range 2 input ports for Pt100 temperature measurement in four-wire technology 8 digital input ports, configurable e.g. as SO interfaces for impulse counting The technical data for the connected sensors can be set most easily via configuration of the Sunny Boy Control+. Flexible configuration

In addition to selecting the input range (±10 mV, ±20 mV, ±50 mV, ±100 mV, ±500 mV, ±1 V, ±5 V, ±10 V, or ±20 mA) each analog input port can be adjusted via an offset and a gain factor. As a matter of course the name and unit of the input port can be adjusted as well.

The digital input ports can be used as switches or impulse counters. Also each input port can be configured separately.
