Sunny Boy Inverters

Europe's most popular Grid-Connect inverters, each designed to be used with one series string of between 6 to 24 photovoltaic modules depending upon inverter type. 

Units can be linked in parallel allowing extreme system design flexibility with the possibility of low cost system expansion and maximum system efficiency. This makes the inverter ideal for use alone or as part of a large PV plant.

To make installation safer and easier, special polarized plug-in SunClix cable connectors are used for DC input and an AC connector for the grid connection.  No special tools are required.

The inverters can be located as close to the PV string as desired (even on the roof, IP65 protection), eliminating long DC wire runs and allowing low DC currents. Connection to the mains is to the house consumer unit.  

Sunny Boy Inverters removes the need for a separate DC isolator by including an 'Electronic Solar Switch' (ESS) giving savings in both installation time and cost compared to other brand inverters. Datasheet

Inverters automatically shut down in the event of: High/Low grid AC-voltage; High/Low grid frequency; Grid failure; or Inverter Malfunction. 

Inverters automatically adjust PV array loading to provide maximum efficiency of solar panels by means of a maximal power point tracker (MPPT)

These are robust and can be used in all kinds of AC grids and with all module types.

With die-cast aluminium enclosures, they use Opticool construction for optimum performance under full load and long service life even under extreme conditions. Opticool means the transformers are cooled by temperature controlled fans but the electronics are sealed from the cooling air so the inverters still have IP65 protection.
