What makes SMA interesting?
SMA's Australian residential portfolio includes Sunny Boy and Sunny Tripower solar inverters, Sunny Boy Smart Energy hybrid models and SMA Home Storage. Current Australian connection requirements can also depend on compatible control equipment, so the full design matters beyond the inverter name.
See features and possibilities worth discussing
Depending on your home and the proposed system, these are some of the useful possibilities to discuss:
- Compare a conventional Sunny Boy pathway with Sunny Boy Smart Energy where battery integration is planned.
- Match SMA Home Storage capacity to the supported hybrid inverter configuration.
- Check distributor control, metering and backup hardware required by the local network and intended system behaviour.
