SMA SUNNY TRIPOWER

For systems that entails photovoltaic (PV) array voltages up to 1,000VDC, the Sunny Tripower 8000TL, 10000TL, 12000TL, 15000TL and 17000TL inverters were recently launched by SMA Solar Technology, the leading manufacturer of photovoltaic inverters and monitoring systems.

The company informs that this product is a three-stage transformerless system that is excellent for huge-depth arrays with integrated plant structure. The Sunny Tripower will refine the system design of these type of PV arrays.

Modular approach for multi-megawatt PV plants

With the wide-range of Sunny Tripower devices available, consumers can produce a multi-MW PV plant for solar grid interconnection and feed-in. This will be made possible by connecting the AC output of the device to a medium-voltage transformer

This modular approach to plant configuration results in decreased installation costs, improved design flexibility, and increased energy production for the life of the PV plant.

According to Jurgen Krehnke, president and general manager of SMA America, the organization is delighted to introduce to the world market their modular Sunny Tripower.

“It is a flexible, versatile inverter option that includes the integrated grid-management functions – such as reactive power control, utility interaction management and grid support – that utility-scale system owners require.”

Operational inverters for behind-the-fence configurations

With European standard qualification, the Sunny Tripower functions on 60Hz with a voltage of 400VAC line-to-line and 230VAC line-to-neutral.

When paired with a transformer, the Sunny Tripower is applicable for behind-the-fence configurations.

The Sunny Tripower also boasts 98.1 percent efficiency, data broadcast via Bluetooth wireless technology, an effortlessly available connection spot, and the SMA-patented “OptiCool” temperature management system.

Global Peak operation management, intuitive monitoring technology

Incorporated in the Sunny Tripower system is the company-patented Optiflex technology and the OptiTrac Global Peak operation management system. The Optiflex technology consists of dual MPP inputs and DC input voltage up to 1000V particular for custom plant design, while the operation management system guarantees that the inverter will be capable of using practically the entire energy accessible by the PV modules.

Additionally, the product possesses the innate “Optiprotect” monitoring technology that assures utmost uptime. This is because of the technology’s self-learning string fault detection, electronic string fuse and available DC over voltage protector (Type II). To top it off the Sunny Tripower also has a usual 10-year warranty, which can be upgraded to 20 years.
