Specifications
Product Description
The SMA Sunny Boy Smart Energy 5kW HV Hybrid Inverter SBSE5.0-50 Single-Phase combines in a single device the on-grid inverter and the high-voltage battery manager to take self-consumption with storage to the next level. With 5 kW (5 kVA) nominal power, maximum efficiency of 97.5%, and IP65 enclosure, this “two-in-one” hybrid allows you to maximize solar energy, store it in HV batteries, and supply it quickly thanks to its 30 A charge/discharge stage. It integrates WLAN/Ethernet (Speedwire), Webconnect, and Modbus (SMA/SunSpec) connectivity, monitoring in Sunny Portal/Places, and the proactive SMA Smart Connected service. Includes Secure Power Supply (SPS) of 3.68 kW for emergencies and offers an optional automatic back-up function by adding the corresponding hardware.
Main Features
- Nominal AC power: 5 kW (5 kVA) at 230 V; nominal/max current: 21.7 A / 25 A.
- Recommended PV generator: up to 10 kWp; max input voltage 600 Vdc.
- 3 independent MPPTs (A/B/C), 1 string per MPPT; possibility to parallel A+B for higher current.
- Wide MPP window: 60–480 V (Vmp), Vstart 66 V; Imax usable per MPPT 15 A; ISC max per MPPT 30 A (sum ≤ 60 A).
- HV battery (lithium 90–500 V): charge/discharge 30 A, max charge power 10 kW, max discharge power 5.25 kW.
- Advanced protections: SMA ShadeFix and ArcFix (AFCI) for optimization and arc detection.
Advantages or Benefits
- Self-consumption with HV battery: stores solar surplus for night and peak times, reducing the electricity bill.
- Total flexibility on the roof: 3 MPPTs allow combining east/west/south orientations with short strings from 60 V.
- Service continuity: SPS 3.68 kW for critical loads and option for automatic back-up with the appropriate hardware version.
- Connectivity and control: integration with SMA Energy Meter and Sunny Home Manager 2.0 for zero feed-in and load management.
- Silent and robust: fanless design, IP65, and operation from −25…+60 °C for demanding outdoor environments.
Purpose or Applications
Designed for single-family homes and small businesses with medium-high consumption seeking a 5 kW HV hybrid inverter capable of managing generators up to 10 kWp and high-voltage batteries. Ideal for self-consumption installations with feed-in control, integration of heat pump or EV charger, and basic emergency supply needs.
