SUNNY ISLAND Charger 40

SMA DC coupling: maximum efficiency and applicable everywhere

AC and DC coupling optimally aligned and for the first time by one manufacturer: SMA's universally applicable Sunny Island Charger 40. Its wide DC input voltage range results in a perfect configuration for nearly all PV modules. Thanks to the integrated MPP tracking, the charger guarantees an energy yield that is 15% – 30% higher than that of conventional shunt and serial charge controllers. What makes charge controllers in this power range unique are the high protection rating, the fanless operation, and the broad temperature range that allow for its use even under harsh ambient conditions. The easy installation and automatic adjustment of the controller settings by the Sunny Island make for a foolproof startup.
