WINDY BOY 700U / 3000US

SMA’s Windy Boy inverters combine the same proven technology present in all Sunny Boy inverters with special firmware that permits direct gridtied operation with a broad range of wind turbines – without batteries. This greatly reduces the overall system cost because components such as the charge controller, batteries and associated switch gear can be eliminated. Increased total energy capture combined with a reduction of balance of system components greatly reduces the installation and operating costs of a grid-tied wind system. We recommend contacting your local wind turbine supplier for information on compatible wind turbine models and system design considerations.
