High quality and efficiency make for a very competitive product
The PV ‘inverter’, known as the ‘heart’ of the solar power system, can produce varying energy yields. With SMA’s reputation of exceptional product design and quality, the SUNNY BOY 1600TL produces first class energy yields. Reaching a maximum efficiency of 96.0%, it ranks as the highest efficiency in its performance class. Not only can this inverter be used in small residential PV systems, it’s also suitable as a sub-generator in larger systems.
Making quality accessible
The top quality inverter is the entry level product for SMA and helps to lower the cost of the PV system, making solar power a real consideration for those on a tight financial budget. Quality is never a compromise at SMA, and the Sunny Boy SB1600TL maintains this reputation, combining quality and reliability, while ensuring maximum efficiency, safety and security.
As with every SMA SUNNY BOY model, the SUNNY BOY 1600TL is compatible with SMA’s communication products, with optional RS485 and Bluetooth communication interfaces, allowing home owners to monitor their solar power systems, even from the comfort of their own lounge.
Long-term peace of mind
The SUNNY BOY 1600TL is equipped with an all-pole sensitive leakage current monitoring unit, guaranteeing safe operation at all times. With only one string input required, the SUNNY BOY 1600TL is both reliable and safe.
The inverter’s low weight and robust housing enables easy installation which saves on labour costs. As with all SMA inverters, it contains SUNCLIX, the DC plug system, making the fitting process easier for installers. The SUNNY BOY 1600TL is also backed by SMA’s local Service Support line in Sydney, as well as attractive warranty and extended warranty options for home owners.
SMA Australia will be showcasing their inverter product range at Clean Energy Week, Melbourne, from May 2nd to 7th, Bay 13-16, Booth 41.
