SMA SB3.0-1 SP-US-41 Sunny Boy 3kW Solar Inverter Standard with Integrated DC Disco, 3-MPPT, AFCI 208/240 VAC with SPS Function.

This 3000Watt SMA Sunny Boy inverter is part of the newest range of residential grid-tie inverters. Designed to operate at 208VAC single-phase or 240VAC split phase, these units were designed specifically for the US market with built-in AFCI and DC disconnects. They have a very wide DC range on their (3) MPPT inputs resulting in earlier startup, later shutdown and ultimate flexibility in array design. These inverters are also fitted with the enhanced SMA OptiTrac feature on all inputs mitigating shading issues on the more challenging installs. These units also have "smart-grid" features allowing it to be future proof regardless of utility requirements.
