Up to 60% faster installation of commercial PV systems
The Sunny Tripower CORE1 is the world’s first free-standing string inverter for decentralized rooftop and ground-based PV systems as well as covered parking spaces. The groundbreaking new design allows reductions in installation time of up to 60% and, at the same time, lowers the total cost of ownership (OPEX).
Top Performance and Maximum Efficiency Thanks to Innovative Design
The CORE1 is the third generation in the successful Sunny Tripower product family and is revolutionising the world of commercial inverters with its innovative design. SMA engineers developed an inverter that combines a unique design with an innovative installation method to significantly reduce installation time and provide all target groups with a maximum return on investment.
Scalability for Maximum Energy Yields
- With a capacity of 50 kW, the Sunny Tripower CORE1 is scalable up to the megawatt range
- The unique design enables over-dimensioning of a PV array of up to 150%
- Six independent MPP trackers guarantee optimal energy production for every use, even in shading
Consistently Integrated Concept
- The innovative, fully integrated design ensures low BoS costs, simpler processes and lower material expenses
- Alongside the 12 direct string inputs, a DC disconnector and, as an option, AC and DC overvoltage protection are integrated
Efficient and Economical
- No additional mounting racks are required
- Only a simple substructure is needed for other commercial PV applications
- There are additional savings from the considerably lower expenditure on logistics, installation and materials
OptiCool™ Active Cooling System

SMA DATA MANAGER M
SMA Data Manager M is the ideal professional system interface for electric utility companies, service technicians and PV system operators. In combination with the new Sunny Portal powered by ennexOS, the Data Manager M optimizes communication, monitoring and control of PV systems with up to 50 SMA devices.
Modbus Protocol Interface
SMA Modbus interfaces provide support for the industry standard protocol for communications between electronic devices. Modbus interfaces enable the integration of SMA products with products from other suppliers for system monitoring and control.
SURGE PROTECTION DEVICE MODULES
SMA offers surge protection device (SPD) modules for inverter AC and DC connections in either Type 2 or Type 1+2 protection levels to protect the inverter from sudden voltage surges and spikes caused by lightning or grid switching events. These SPD modules are completely field serviceable and may be added or replaced at any time during the PV system service life to help reduce costly downtime due to the damaging effects of transient events.
Sensor Module for monitoring the system
With the SMA Sensor Module external weather sensors for solar irradiation, ambient and module temperature, and wind speed can be connected directly to the inverter, eliminating the need for a separate weather station datalogger and enclosure. Sensor data logged by the inverter is available in SMA Sunny Portal and through the inverter's Modbus protocol interfaces.
UNIVERSAL MOUNTING SYSTEM
The Universal Mounting System (UMS) provides a simple, efficient solution for mounting the Sunny Tripower CORE1 inverter to a wall or other fixed structure. Assembles quickly and provides a secure platform for mounting the inverter.
External WLAN Antenna
The external antenna extension kit increases the inverter's WLAN range to overcome site conditions which inhibit wireless signals and to ensure reliable wireless communications with the network router.
RS485 interface module
The RS485 Module is the ideal solution for expansion of existing PV systems that already use RS485 communication. The RS485 module provides compatibility to the SMA RS485 fieldbus communication for reliable connection to a data logger with a cable length of up to 1,200 meters.
