The central component for sustainable solar energy supply is and remains the inverter. Modern SMA string inverters reduce the installation and maintenance effort for solar power professionals. System operators benefit from maximum energy yields. SMA engineers therefore develop innovative software features, directly integrating them into the inverters. This makes a particularly lean system design possible while ensuring maximum PV system safety.
Lean systems provide more safety
SMA energy systems do just fine without additional hardware such as MLPE devices for yield optimization. The inverter can always find the global maximum power point (GMPP) via the integrated software SMA ShadeFix, reducing energy losses caused by shading to a minimum.
Forgoing additional optimizers also significantly reduces the cabling requirement and the associated cross-mating, the combination of connectors from different manufacturers, and the risks involved.
Installers benefit from integrated features
Time is money – and the potential for PV systems installed on homeowners’ roofs and commercial businesses remains great. Thanks to integrated user interfaces with automated configuration wizards, solar power professionals can install SMA inverters in just a few steps. The integrated SMA Smart Connected monitoring reports faults early on and allows precise service on the device through fault analyses. Advantage: The sooner an error is detected, the lower the probability of a potentially dangerous situation. Solar power professionals save valuable working hours and unnecessary repeated trips to the customer.
The SMA 360° app even provides assistance to solar power professionals starting from the planning phase. It combines system simulation, planning, commissioning and monitoring, thus simplifying the day-to-day operations.
With the lean SMA system design and intelligent inverters, solar power professionals save valuable working hours and system operators save costs right from the planning stage. The effort for installation, maintenance and the replacement of additional components on the roof – with all the associated dangers – is eliminated.
