SMA Sunny Boy Grid Tie Inverter 8000 Watt SB8000US

$3,118.00

The US series inverters are designed specifically to meet IEEE-1547 requirements. The Sunny Boy 8000US is also compatible with the Sunny Tower. Increased efficiency means better performance and shorter payback periods. All four models are field-configurable for positive ground systems making them more versatile than ever. Throughout the world, Sunny Boy is the benchmark for PV inverter performance and reliability.
