Windy Boy 2500 and 3000 inverters are ideally suited to small wind turbine systems, and feature a maximum efficiency of 95 percent. The programmable polynomial curve enables an optimal adjustment to the turbine characteristic curve, which is also protected by a special soft start device. This Windy Boy also features the SMA Grid Guard interface, which can be used anywhere in the world. It ensures maximum wind turbine system reliability and allows for the feed-in to almost any power distribution grid.

The RS485 wiring for plant monitoring and communication allows functional lengths of up to 1200 meters. The Sunny WebBox collects all the data and informs you about the status of the PV plant. With Piggy-Back the data transmission is reliable even in interference-prone areas. Subsequent expansions are possible without problem thanks to the modular design principle.
When using thin-film or rear-side contact PV modules, it may be necessary to ground the positive or negative connection of the PV array. Our grounding set offers you the perfect solution for this.
The grounding set provides you with the following advantages:
Your module manufacturer can provide you with up-to-date information on the necessity and type of grounding.
