SUNNY TRIPOWER CORE1
Stands on its own
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

Modbus Protocol Interface
With the Modbus protocol interface, SMA makes flexible integration of inverters possible. Through the use of this well-known industry standard, you can integrate SMA inverters into your systems without having to follow the SMA-specific inverter protocol.
External WLAN Antenna
Ambient conditions are not always ideal for a WLAN connection between an inverter and a router. For example, drywall can impair wireless signals significantly, or the inverter might not send its signals correctly because of an installation location that cannot be changed. In this case, simply use the external WLAN antenna extension to increase range even in poor ambient conditions and to ensure a reliable connection with your router.
Sensor Module for monitoring the system
The sensor module allows you to record environmental data such as solar irradiation and cell temperature to analyze system performance. This means that any PV system malfunctions can be detected quickly and yield loss minimized. The SMA Sensor Module allows you to connect sensors that measure ambient temperature or wind speed and also provides a simple display for an S0 energy meter.
RS485 interface
The ideal solution for the expansion of existing PV systems that already use RS485 communication. The RS485 interface can be retrofitted and guarantees the proven, cable-based SMA fieldbus communication via RS485 for simple connection to a data logger with a cable length of up to 1,200 meters.
