Sunny Boy SMA SB3000US, SB 3000US Grid-Tie Inverter

SMA America SB3000US

Sunny Boy 3000 Watt Grid Tie Inverter
208VAC or 240VAC
"Auto-Sensing"
Built-in Fused Combiner and DC Disconnect

New Technology

The newest Sunny Boy 3000 grid-tie inverter has been updated with SMA's most advanced technology and is designed specifically to meet the new IEEE 1547 requirements. The compact design makes it ideal for light commercial or residential use.

Flexibility and Value

The SB3000US has an integrated DC disconnect that makes installation more cost-effective. This inverter is field configurable for positive ground systems, this makes it more versatile than other grid tie inverters.

The included "auto-sensing technology" makes the SMA 3000US more flexible and easier to install than ever. It will automatically detect whether the output voltage is 208VAC or 240VAC.

The Sunny Boy is designed to support PV modules in series, increasing efficiency and eliminating the need for expensive DC distribution systems and cabling. Each Sunny Boy inverter is equipped with a separate and autonomous grid monitoring facility that enables the user to hook up the AC output to any point within the electric distribution system of house.

Sunny Boy system diagnosis and control can be transmitted to your PC via many means. These include RS485 and Wireless. You can even view your system statistics on the internet! (with optional system monitor)

High Efficiency and Reliability

Increased efficiency of up to 96.6% means better overall performance and shorter payback periods. All SMA inverters are engineered and built to last. The SMA3000US now comes with a standard ten-year warranty. Sunny Boy inverters are trusted worldwide to go the distance year-round.

Sunny Boy inverters are housed in a watertight stainless steel NEMA 3R outdoor enclosure. The SMA US Series can operate in extreme conditions (ambient temperatures of -13ºF to +113ºF). They can be mounted right behind the solar module array on the roof, on a wall, or on the ground.
