SUNNY TRIPOWER 15000TL / 20000TL / 25000TL
The versatile specialist for large-scale commercial plants and solar power plants
The Sunny Tripower is the ideal inverter for large-scale commercial and industrial plants. Not only does it deliver extraordinary
high yields with an efficiency of 98.4%, but it also offers enormous design flexibility and compatibility with many PV modules
thanks to its multistring capabilities and wide input voltage range.
The future is now: the Sunny Tripower comes with cutting-edge grid management functions such as Integrated
Plant Control, which allows the inverter to regulate reactive power at the point of common coupling. Separate controllers are no longer needed, lowering system costs. Another new feature—reactive power provision on demand
(Q on Demand 24/7).
Intelligent service with
SMA Smart Connected
SMA SMART CONNECTED
The integrated service for ease and comfort
SMA Smart Connected* is the free monitoring of the inverter via
the SMA Sunny Portal. If there is an inverter fault, SMA proactively
informs the PV system operator and the installer. This saves valuable
working time and costs.
With SMA Smart Connected, the installer benefits from rapid
diagnoses by SMA. They can thus quickly rectify the fault and
score points with the customer thanks to the attraction of additional
services.
ACTIVATION OF SMA SMART CONNECTED
During registration of the system in the Sunny Portal, the installer activates SMA Smart Connected and benefits
from the automatic inverter monitoring by SMA.
AUTOMATIC INVERTER MONITORING
SMA takes on the job of inverter monitoring with SMA Smart Connected. SMA automatically checks the
individual inverters for anomalies around the clock during operation. Every customer thus benefits from SMA’s
long years of experience.
PROACTIVE COMMUNICATION IN THE EVENT OF FAULTS
After a fault has been diagnosed and analyzed, SMA informs the installer and end customer immediately by
e-mail. Everyone is thus optimally prepared for the troubleshooting. This minimizes the downtime and saves time
and money. The regular power reports also provide valuable information about the overall system.
REPLACEMENT SERVICE
If a replacement device is necessary, SMA automatically supplies a new inverter within one to three days of the
fault diagnosis. The installer can contact the PV system operator of their own accord and replace the inverter.
PERFORMANCE SERVICE
The PV system operator can claim compensation from SMA if the replacement inverter cannot be delivered within
three days.
