Specifications
Product Description
The SMA Sunny Boy 5kW Single-Phase Solar Inverter SB5.0-1AV-41 is designed for homes that require a robust and versatile inverter with high integration capacity. It delivers 5 kW (5 kVA) continuous output with a maximum efficiency of 97%, incorporates WLAN and Ethernet connectivity along with Webconnect and Modbus (SMA/SunSpec), and features the SMA Smart Connected service for proactive monitoring, remote diagnostics, and automatic notifications. Its IP65 protection rating and natural convection cooling ensure quiet and durable outdoor operation.
Main Features
- Nominal power: 5 kW (5 kVA) at 230 V single-phase; max. output current ≈ 21.7 A.
- PV inputs: 2 independent MPPTs (A/B) with 2 strings per MPPT; max. input voltage 600 V.
- Optimized MPP window: ≈170–500 V (Vmp) for designs with different tilts and orientations.
- Input current: Imax 15 A per input and 15 A per string; admissible ISC up to 18 A per string.
- Performance: 97% max. (EU ~96.7%); active and reactive power control (0.8 ind…0.8 cap.).
- Construction: IP65, fanless, < 25 dB; dimensions 435×470×176 mm and ~17.5 kg.
Advantages or Benefits
- Next-level self-consumption: sufficient power to cover medium/high consumption and reduce purchases during peak hours.
- Flexible designs: dual MPPT with two inputs per tracker to separate east and west or combine strings of different power ratings.
- Simple commissioning: web assistant from mobile/PC, SUNCLIX connectors, and feed-in limit configuration.
- Comprehensive connectivity: native integration with meters and energy managers via Modbus (SMA/SunSpec).
- Proven reliability: reference brand, sealed IP65 construction, and Smart Connected service with proactive alerts.
Purpose or Applications
Ideal for single-family homes with significant electricity consumption, small businesses, and residential system expansions. Supports photovoltaic generators of ~8–9 kWp (according to local regulations and design conditions), with the possibility of zero feed-in control and complete monitoring.
