In commercial and residential energy systems with outputs of up to 135 kW, the Sunny Tripower X is not only responsible for the monitoring, management and grid-compliant power control of up to five inverters, but also enables participation in the energy market. It will also be capable of managing battery-storage systems and loads. The innovative solar inverter has secured SMA a place among the finalists for this year’s Intersolar Award.
PV inverter and system manager in one
The Sunny Tripower X is available on the market in four power classes (12/15/20/25 kW) and combines solar power generation and energy management in one device. Thanks to the intelligent, tried-and-tested system management features of the Data Manager M powered by ennexOS, it has never been easier for installers to configure and commission solar systems with up to five inverters. Following installation, the inverter is responsible for grid-compliant power control of the entire system.

The Sunny Tripower X enables over-dimensioning of the PV array by up to 150% and offers maximum design flexibility with three independent MPP trackers and six string inputs. The input current of up to 24 amperes per MPPT means that ever more powerful PV modules can be deployed. Thanks to the inverter’s digital inputs, simplified grid and PV system protection can be implemented without any additional components. The SMA ArcFix arc-fault circuit interrupter ensures maximum system safety, while the integrated SMA ShadeFix software guarantees maximum energy yields – even where there is slight shading. The SMA Smart Connected inverter monitoring minimizes yield losses. (mfo)
