SMARTFORMER for SUNNY ISLAND

Split-phase stand-alone grids - now easier than ever

The Smartformer is the complete solution for off-grid and battery back-up systems up to eight kilowatts. It acts simultaneously as AC distribution and a 120 V/240 V autoformer. The autoformer provides step-up and step-down options to supply loads with 120 V and 240 V using a Sunny Island and a Sunny Boy, with high efficiency over the entire power spectrum. Thanks to the pre-wired bypass function, the PV system can be easily bridged via a robust switch for maintenance. The optimized transformer overload protection and a load shedding relay provide extra protection to the system. The Smartformer makes the stand-alone power supply simple and reliable.
