Hybrid Inverter HV SMA Sunny Boy Smart Energy 3.6kW SBSE3.6-50 Single-phase

Product description

The SMA Sunny Boy Smart Energy 3.6kW SBSE3.6-50 Single-Phase HV Hybrid Inverter is a “two-in-one” solution that integrates a grid-tied inverter and high-voltage battery manager so your home can produce, store, and use its own energy with maximum efficiency. With 3.6 kW nominal power, max. efficiency of 97.5%, and IP65 enclosure, it combines three independent MPPT trackers, fast battery charge/discharge, and full connectivity (WLAN/Ethernet, Modbus SunSpec, Webconnect) to offer flexible, safe self-consumption that is very easy to monitor from Sunny Portal and Sunny Places with the proactive SMA Smart Connected service. In addition, it features a 3.68 kW emergency current output Secure Power Supply (SPS) and allows the addition of automatic backup functionality with later hardware, ensuring supply even during grid outages.

• Recommended PV generator: up to 7.2 kWp total.

Advantages or benefits

• Self-consumption with HV battery: stores surplus in high-voltage lithium to cover nights and demand peaks.
• Fast charge/discharge: 30 A and up to 10 kW charging to make better use of solar hours.
• Service continuity: SPS 3.68 kW (manual switching) and option for automatic backup with additional hardware.
• Flexible design: 3 independent MPPTs (A/B/C) and low start-up voltage for rooftops with multiple orientations.
• Total connectivity: integration with meters and energy management via Modbus; reports and alerts with Smart Connected.
• German reliability: IP65, fanless, and robust electronics for long outdoor service life.

Purpose or applications

Ideal for single-family homes seeking to maximize self-consumption with HV battery, have energy available in case of grid outage, and prepare the house for future expansions (heat pump, electric vehicle charger, load management). Its 3.6 kW output is suitable for homes with low to medium consumption and photovoltaic generators up to 7.2 kWp, with the possibility of short strings thanks to its MPP window starting from 60 V.
