Specifications
Product Description
The SMA Sunny Boy 1.5kW Single-Phase Solar Inverter SB1.5-1VL-40 is the perfect on-grid solution for small residential self-consumption installations seeking high reliability, simple monitoring, and solid performance. With 1.5 kW nominal power, maximum efficiency of 97.2%, and an IP65 enclosure, this string inverter is designed to operate for many years outdoors, managing solar energy intelligently and silently through natural convection cooling.
Main Features
- Output power: 1.5 kW (1.5 kVA) single-phase at 230 V; max. output current 7 A.
- PV input: one MPPT with 1 string; wide MPP range 160–500 V; max. input voltage 600 V.
- Input currents: Imax 10 A per string; ISC max. 18 A.
- Efficiency: 97.2% max. (European efficiency 96.1%) for greater energy yield.
- Integrated connectivity: WLAN and Ethernet with Webconnect and Modbus (SMA/SunSpec) for monitoring in Sunny Portal and Sunny Places.
- Shade management OptiTrac Global Peak and SMA Smart Connected service with proactive monitoring.
Advantages or Benefits
- Efficiency and savings: converts more solar energy into useful kWh, reducing the electricity bill in self-consumption.
- Quick installation: compact design (9.2 kg) and SUNCLIX connections; commissioning via web/WLAN interface in minutes.
- Long-term reliability: IP65, transformerless and with natural convection for silent operation (<25 dB) and less maintenance.
- Free monitoring: cloud control with Sunny Portal/Sunny Places, automatic reports and alarms (Smart Connected).
- Design flexibility: voltage range of 80–600 V with MPP from 160 V, ideal for short strings on small rooftops.
Purpose or Applications
Designed for homes with low power demands (balcony solar, small roofs, garages or sheds), the SB1.5-1VL-40 integrates into on-grid self-consumption systems with energy measurement and injection control. It is a robust option for owners seeking a compact and silent solution without sacrificing performance visibility or brand quality.
