The SMA Sunny Boy Storage 6.0-US 6kW Solar Battery Inverter for HV Batteries can be accessed via smart phone or laptop through WLAN connection for speedy configuration to decrease installation time. Communication is simplified with a direct Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection to SunnyPortal/SunnyPlaces via Webconnect.

The new SMA Automatic Backup Unit (SBS-ABU-200-US-10) allows the Sunny Boy Storage inverters to be used as a home backup system in event of grid outage or disruption, and is designed to specifically communicate with the SMA Sunny Boy line of inverters. This unit includes an automatic transfer switch that disconnects the PV System and loads from the utility grid, and creates a small battery-backup grid The included Backup Unit Controller coordinates grid disconnection and reconnection to ensure minimal downtime while also allowing for up to 5 kVA of unbalanced loads. When paired with SMA Sunny Boy inverters, the Sunny Boy Storage curtails PV power production to match load in the event the battery is full to maximize use of solar production.

on grid grid tied solar pv inverters

SMA is considered somewhat of a legend in the solar world and manufacture some of the best quality and most reliable inverters on the market backed by an excellent service team and guaranty conditions.

Avoid north facing walls exposed to direct sunlight at midday, while and easterly facing wall, under a small veranda which provides shade is better suited. Inside garages can also be a good spot, as long the solar inverter is away from direct sunshine for prolonged periods of the day.

The basic difference between the two inverters are:
  1. The task of Grid forming inverter is to maintain the voltage and frequency of the micro-grid. It is essentially like a slack bus in power system.
  2. The task of Grid supporting converter is to simply dispatch some set active and reactive power or dispatch based on some command signal. So, it is more like the PQ bus in power system.

An inverter/charger would convert the AC power from the generator to charge the DC battery bank. An off grid inverter/charger would be converting the power in both directions, from AC to DC to charge the battery from the AC generator, and converting the DC power from the battery to AC for your appliances. For full backup or off-grid operation you would need to use a battery inverter with grid forming capabilities. like SMA Sunny Island.

10 to 20 years
Typically, grid connected inverters have a lifespan ranging from 10 to 20 years. You should expect most good quality units to last 10 years minimum. Solar inverters have warranties ranging from 5 to 12 years with an increasing number of manufacturers offering pay for service warranty extension up to 20 years. 

Germany’s SMA Builds majority of its solar power inverters Inverters In China. SMA is a German company that is generally considered to be among the top two inverter manufacturers in the world in terms of quality and reliability. They have manufacturing capacity in both Germany and China.
