Product Overview
The SMA Sunny Tripower Smart Energy 10.0 is a three-phase hybrid inverter designed for residential solar power systems that combine PV generation, high-voltage battery storage and backup capability. It integrates PV and battery management in one compact inverter, helping homeowners use more of their own solar energy while maintaining selected backup loads during a grid outage.
Key Features
- 10kW three-phase AC output for suitably sized residential and light commercial installations.
- Hybrid design with a dedicated high-voltage lithium-ion battery connection and integrated battery-backup functionality.
- Supports up to 15kWp of PV array capacity with two independent MPP trackers.
- SMA ShadeFix helps optimise energy yield where partial shading affects the PV array.
- Wi-Fi and Ethernet communications support commissioning, monitoring and integration with SMA energy management platforms.
- IP65 enclosure is suitable for indoor or outdoor installation when installed in accordance with SMA requirements.
Applications
- Three-phase residential solar power systems with battery storage.
- Hybrid solar installations requiring backup supply for selected circuits.
- Homes using SMA energy management, monitoring and compatible high-voltage battery systems.
Why Choose This Product?
The Sunny Tripower Smart Energy combines three-phase solar generation, battery charging and backup functionality in a single SMA platform. It is designed for homeowners who want a compact hybrid system with integrated monitoring, flexible energy management and support for approved high-voltage lithium-ion batteries.
Important Notes
- Battery compatibility must be confirmed against SMA's current approved-battery list before installation.
- The inverter must be installed, commissioned and connected by a suitably qualified solar installer or electrician in accordance with applicable South African electrical requirements.
- The product is transformerless and must be used within the operating limits and installation requirements specified by SMA.
- Backup functionality is intended for selected circuits and must be designed and wired correctly for the installation.
