Automatically senses output voltage
Built-in Fused Combiner, DC Disconnect and AC Disconnect

New Technology

The newest SMA SB 5000US 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 sleek compact design makes it ideal for light commercial or residential use.

Flexibility and Value

The SB5000US has an integrated DC disconnect and a AC 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 5000US more flexible and easier to install than ever. It will automatically detect whether the output voltage is 208VAC, 240VAC or 277VAC.

The Sunny Boy is optimized for solar PV modules in series, increasing efficiency and eliminating the need for expensive DC distribution systems and cabling. Every SB US series 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)
