SMA 3000/4000

SMA is proud to introduce our new line of inverters updated with our latest technology and designed specifically to meet the new IEEE 1547 requirements. Compact design makes them ideal for residential use and the integrated DC disconnect makes installation more cost effective. They are field-configurable for positive ground systems making them more versatile than ever. Increased efficiency means better performance and shorter payback periods. With over 500,000 fielded units, Sunny Boy has become the benchmark for PV inverter performance and reliability throughout the world.


Features

  • Certified to the new UL1741/IEEE 1547
  • 10 year standard warranty
  • Improved CEC efficiency
  • Integrated load-break rated DC disconnect switch
  • Integrated fused series string combiner
  • Sealed electronics enclosure & Opticool
  • Comprehensive SMA communications and data collection options
  • Ideal for residential or light commercial applications
  • Rugged cast aluminum outdoor rated enclosure

STC

STC (Standard Test Conditions) is the test condition used to give PV panels their power ratings. When determining the STC rating, the PV panel is hand selected (usually the best cells in the lot), flashed with a controlled light source at 1000 W/m2, with the cell and air temperature at 25°C (68°F) and 0 m/s wind speed.

Basically, when the PV panel is flashed with the light source the power output is measured. So, a panel which has a rating of 165W on the rating label (typically shown as Maximum Power and represented as Pmax), will produce 165W of DC power when subjected to the STC test conditions. These conditions are, in fact, far from real-world.
