Sunny Boy's unsurpassed reliability and efficiency is the result of SMA's manufacturing philosophy that combines simple design with robust execution. SMA's state-of-the-art maximum power point tracking performance results in greater real-world energy capture than any other grid-tied PV inverter. Sunny Boy's safety and reliability record is also exceptional due, in part, to the inverter's redundant grid monitoring and built-in ground fault detection and interruption protection. The inverter's IGBT power stage generates a nearly perfect sine wave with the lowest harmonic distortion in the industry and meets new ultra-strict FCC EMC standards. SMA's unique String Inverter technology makes future system expansion simple. Sunny Boy's optional power line carrier communication capability allows for extensive data acquisition from one or many inverters with no additional wiring. (Optional powerline modem required.) Other communication options are available to satisfy almost any application.
