SMA Energy System Home
Home: Grid independence with solar power
Grid independence with solar power
100% independence - without a grid connection
A farm in the southern highlands, pumping stations in the outback or a nature reserve in the bush - all these systems have one thing in common, and that is self-sufficient supply. That comes courtesy of 100% renewable solar power or in combination with additional energy sources.
Benefits
100% independence from the utility grid and electricity costs
Modular systems can be expanded if energy consumption rises later on
Long distances between energy sources and loads easily possible thanks to AC coupling
Multiple energy sources can be combined, for example, photovoltaics, wind power, hydropower, cogeneration or diesel generators
Components
PV system
optimised for the local conditions and your requirements
Sunny Tripower or Sunny Boy
SMA inverter that converts solar power (direct current) into usable alternating current
SMA Sunny Island
SMA battery inverter, the manager of the system ensures grid quality
Battery
a battery stores solar power efficiently and ensures a reliable energy supply
The system in detail
Declare your independence with the off-grid system and its components.
Sunny Boy
The SMA inverter from the Sunny Boy family makes the perfect partner to your off-grid system. It converts the direct current generated by the PV system into alternating current, working in harmony with the Sunny Island battery inverter.
Learn MoreSMA Smart Connected
For off-grid systems with internet connections, SMA Smart Connected will automatically monitor your inverter. Even before you notice a problem, the system has already notified the installer and a solution is on its way.
Learn MoreSMA ShadeFix
SMA ShadeFix is a patented, integrated software application that optimises energy yield in PV systems. SMA ShadeFix outperforms most conventional hardware-based methods for (partially) shaded PV systems.
Learn More Watch VideoBattery inverter
The SMA Sunny Island battery inverter is both the heart and the brain of any off-grid system. The durable unit with exceptional overload capacity manages all loads and generators.
Learn MoreSunny Portal
With the new Webconnect system, there is no need to have a separate communication unit. Up to four SMA devices can communicate with the router directly and transmit their data to the monitoring portal.
