- 2 MPPT (A/B) with 1 string per tracker; MPP range 215–800 V; max Voc 850 V.
- Current per input: Imax 12 A, ISC 18 A (each MPPT).
- Efficiency: 98.2% max / 97.4% EU; power factor 1 (adjustable 0.8 ind…0.8 cap).
- Protection IP65, transformerless design, convection cooling, ≈17 kg.
- Communications: WLAN/Ethernet (Speedwire), Webconnect, Modbus SMA/SunSpec, RS-485.
- Shade management ShadeFix/OptiTrac and compatibility with TS4-R optimizers.
Advantages or Benefits
- Superior performance thanks to 98.2% efficiency and advanced MPP tracking even with partial shading.
- Design flexibility: the 2 MPPTs allow east/west or different tilt combinations without production loss.
- Total connectivity and control via Sunny Portal/Places, Modbus integration, and automatic notifications with SMA Smart Connected.
- Reliability and low maintenance: IP65, silent convection operation, and robust outdoor electronics.
- Quick installation: 17 kg, SUNCLIX terminals, and web assistant for commissioning in minutes.
Purpose or Applications
Perfect for three-phase self-consumption projects in homes and small businesses with PV fields up to ~10 kWp, grid feed-in control, and the need for online monitoring. Its MPP window of 215–800 V adapts to strings with high-power modules and compact designs on residential rooftops.
