Specifications
Product description
The SMA Sunny Boy Storage 5kW SBS5.0-10 HV Inverter Charger expands the power of the Sunny Boy Storage family while maintaining the AC coupling philosophy and multistring versatility. With 5 kW (5 kVA) nominal power, max. efficiency of 97.5% and three fully independent high-voltage battery inputs (parallelizable), it allows integration and expansion of HV lithium banks with total flexibility. Its IP65 fanless design ensures quiet and reliable outdoor operation, while WLAN/Ethernet connectivity, Webconnect, and Modbus (SMA/SunSpec) provide advanced monitoring and energy management via Sunny Portal and SMA Energy App. It features a 3.68 kW Secure Power Supply emergency output and supports automatic backup with an external device.
Main features
- Nominal AC power 5 kW (5 kVA) at 230 V; overload up to 6.3 kW for 60 s; nominal IAC 21.7 A.
- 3 HV battery inputs (multistring), 10 A per input; possibility of parallel connection A+B+C for large banks.
- Battery range: 100–550 Vdc (Vnom 360 V); total ISC 40 A.
- Max. efficiency 97.5% (EU ~96.8%); adjustable power factor 0.8 ind…0.8 cap.
- SPS 3.68 kW (max. 16 A) with manual switching; optional automatic backup for the entire home.
- Connectivity: WLAN/Ethernet (Speedwire), Webconnect, Modbus SMA/SunSpec, Modbus-RTU (RS-485) and CAN for the battery.
- Construction: IP65, −25…+60 °C, 535×730×198 mm, 26 kg; typical noise 39 dB(A); convection cooling.
Advantages or benefits
- Energy independence: stores solar surplus in HV batteries to cover nights and consumption peaks.
- Total versatility: connect up to three HV batteries from different manufacturers and expand capacity as needed.
- Guaranteed continuity: 3.68 kW SPS for critical loads and the possibility of automatic backup with fast switching.
- Control and savings: dynamic feed-in limitation (0–100%), load management, and optimization of time-of-use tariffs.
- SMA reliability: quality electronics, IP65, and fanless design for minimal maintenance.
Purpose or applications
Designed for homes with medium-high consumption and small businesses seeking a single-phase battery inverter of 5 kW for AC coupling. Ideal for expanding existing installations with grid-tied inverters, integrating electric vehicle chargers, and preparing the installation for intelligent energy management with Sunny Home Manager 2.0.
