Specifications
Product Description
The SMA Sunny Tripower X 20kW STP20-50 Three-Phase Solar Inverter is a high-efficiency string inverter designed for self-consumption plants and small commercial installations. It integrates a system manager with native access to Sunny Portal (ennexOS) to orchestrate up to five inverters (up to 135 kVA) and an Energy Meter, allowing dynamic control of active/reactive power, phase balancing, and zero feed-in. Its 3 high-current MPPTs, ArcFix protection (AFCI), and the ShadeFix algorithm ensure optimal and safe performance even with partial shading and new generation modules.
Main Features
- Nominal power 20 kW at 230/400 V three-phase (50/60 Hz) with PV oversizing up to approx. 30 kWp STC.
- 3 independent MPPTs with 2 strings per MPPT, current per tracker of 24 A (Isc max. 35 A) and wide MPPT window for long strings.
- Max. DC voltage 1000 V; nominal Vdc 580 V; start-up from ~150–188 V and MPPT range approx. 257–800 V.
- Max. efficiency ≈ 98.2% (EU ≈ 98%) with OptiCool cooling and sound level < 65 dB(A).
- Safety and continuity: SMA ArcFix (arc detection and interruption), RCMU, optional type II DC protection, reverse polarity, PID recovery function.
- Total connectivity: 2× Ethernet, WLAN, Modbus (SMA/SunSpec) over Speedwire, RS485 (module), 6 digital inputs and multifunction relay.
Advantages or Benefits
- Centralized management with the integrated system manager: monitor, parameterize, and control up to 5 inverters from Sunny Portal.
- Higher real production thanks to ShadeFix and I-V diagnosis, which detects abnormal strings and streamlines maintenance.
- Outdoor robustness: IP65 enclosure, operation from −25 °C to +60 °C, 100% RH without condensation.
- Reduced OPEX with SMA Smart Connected (proactive monitoring and automatic notifications to the installer).
- Scalability via expansion slot for future functions and compatibility with SMA Energy Meter and EV Charger.
Purpose or Applications
Ideal for three-phase commercial self-consumption in logistics warehouses, agro-industry, offices, businesses, and energy communities. This is not a hybrid inverter; for storage and back-up, integrate specific SMA solutions (e.g., controllers and AC-coupled systems).
