Up to 20 years extended warranty

Is east–west alignment possible with the Sunny Boy Smart Energy?

Yes. The three integrated MPP trackers also allow configurations like this with the Sunny Boy Smart Energy.

Is a surge protection device integrated?

A Surge protection device can be optionally connected on the DC side. They are offered as type 1+2 and type 2 as accessories from 3rd party companies.

Can I operate multiple Sunny Boy Smart Energy devices in a single system?

You can operate multiple Sunny Boy Smart Energy inverters in a single system. It is not possible however to use multiple Sunny Boy Smart Energy inverters in one system with the Sunny Home Manager.

Is it possible to add further PV inverters to the system?

Yes, this is possible. Furthermore the Sunny Boy Smart Energy is then able to charge from both DC and AC side.

What is the maximum capacity of the SPS (Secured Power Supply) functionality?

The maximum capacity will be that of a normal outlet: 16 A at 230 V which results in max. 3680 W.

Are there capacity limits (minimum and maximum) for SMA battery? and for other battery suppliers?

The capacity limits are coming from the maximal voltage of the battery system. The modules will be connected in series and with each battery module the voltage will increase. Due to the voltage limitation of 500V, it is possible to connect maximum 4 SMA Home Storage modules. For batteries from other manufacturers, it is important to check the maximal voltage of the battery system.

Are the backup functionality and the Secure Power functionality mutually exclusive?

Yes, they are, because they use the same output.

Can the backup functionality and the Secure Power functionality be installed later?

Yes, both can be installed later.
