SUNNY BOY 5000-US / 6000-US / 7000-US / 8000-US

SUNNY BOY 5000-US / 6000-US / 7000-US / 8000-US

Versatile performer with UL certification

Maximal energy yields for a continuously expanding solar market: the Sunny Boys with US certification are impressive due to their excellent efficiency. Graduated power classes provide flexibility in plant design. The automatic grid voltage detection* allows easy and safe installation. Furthermore, the galvanic isolation provides flexible connection possibilities. This way, the Sunny Boy inverters can be used with crystalline cells as well as thin-film modules.
