Sunny Boy SMA SB4000US, SB 4000US Grid-Tie Inverter, solar

SMA America SB4000US

Sunny Boy 4000 Watt Grid Tie Inverter
208VAC or 240VAC
Automatically senses output voltage
Built-in Fused Combiner and DC Disconnect

New Technology

The newest SMA 4000 grid-tie inverter by Sunny Boy is ideal for solar grid-tie systems. It has been updated with advanced technology and is designed to meet the new IEEE 1547 requirements. The compact design makes it ideal for light commercial or residential use.

Flexibility and Value

The SB4000US 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 auto-sensing capability makes the SMA SB 4000US 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 solar PV modules in series, increasing efficiency and eliminating the need for expensive DC distribution systems and cabling. Each SMA 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)
