SMA's 240-watt micro inverter is now available to the North American residential solar market. The Sunny Boy 240-US offers design flexibility, simplicity and module-level optimization, all backed by SMA's unrivaled bankability and service support. It also features exclusive SMA Sunny Multigate technology, which maximizes system reliability.
With 96-percent CEC efficiency, the Sunny Boy 240-US is ideal for residential systems and rooftops with complex, shaded situations. The system utilizes the Sunny Multigate-US, which enables greater energy production and superior reliability by mitigating the damaging effects of temperature-related stress commonly found under a module.
