Specifications
Product Description
The SMA Sunny Tripower 3kW STP3.0-3AV-40 Three-Phase Solar Inverter takes domestic photovoltaic generation to a new level of performance and reliability. This 3 kW three-phase string inverter combines high-efficiency electronics (max. 98.2%) with a compact 17 kg design and IP65 enclosure, perfect for outdoor installation. Thanks to its 2 independent MPPTs, cloud monitoring, and proactive SMA Smart Connected service, it is a robust, silent self-consumption solution that is very easy to commission from a mobile or tablet browser.
Main Features
- Continuous output power 3 kW (3 kVA) on three-phase grid 3/N/PE 230/400 V.
- 2 MPPT with 1 string per tracker; excellent adaptation to roofs with two orientations.
- Maximum efficiency 98.2% and European efficiency ~96.5% for higher annual yield.
- Wide MPP window (approx. 140–800 V) and max. Voc 850 V for strings with high-power modules.
- Integrated connectivity: WLAN/Ethernet (Speedwire), Webconnect, and Modbus (SMA/SunSpec).
- Shade management OptiTrac/ ShadeFix and compatibility with TS4-R optimizers.
- Transformerless design, convection cooling, typical noise level ~30 dB(A).
Advantages or Benefits
- More energy and less loss: 98.2% efficiency and advanced MPP tracking to perform even with partial shading.
- “Plug & play” installation: lightweight, SUNCLIX connectors, and web-based commissioning assistant.
- Total control: monitor from Sunny Portal / Sunny Places with automatic alerts from SMA Smart Connected.
- Outdoor durability: IP65, −25…+60 °C, and fanless for minimal maintenance.
- Design flexibility: two MPPTs allow splitting the PV array (east/west) and optimizing production.
Purpose or Applications
Designed for three-phase homes and small businesses seeking a SMA 3 kW solar inverter for grid connection, capable of managing generators up to ~6 kWp with high efficiency. Ideal for residential self-consumption projects, installations with feed-in limitation, and roofs with two orientations or inclinations.
