Inverter – SMA – STP5.0-3SE-40 – hybrid – HV
Product details
Sunny Tripower Smart Energy
Sunny Tripower Smart Energy is a three-phase, DC-coupled hybrid inverter designed to power homes with solar energy and store it in a battery. The integrated backup power supply enables selected loads to be powered during grid outages. The system can be expanded with smart connectivity to electric vehicles and heat pumps.
Key benefits of Sunny Tripower Smart Energy
- Rated AC power 5–10 kW depending on the model and a maximum efficiency of 98.1–98.2%.
- Automatic backup power supply selected loads with adjustable switching time from 30 ms to 10 s.
- Compatibility with high-voltage lithium-ion batteries in the 150–600 V range and the ability to charge with direct and alternating current.
- Integrated SMA ShadeFix optimizes energy yields from the photovoltaic system, even under shading.
- Energy management with Sunny Home Manager 2.0 includes forecast-based charging, consumption visualization, and intelligent integration with heat pumps and electric vehicles.
- Free SMA Smart Connected monitoring via Sunny Portal enables early error detection and automatic fault notification.
Who is this a good choice for?
This solution is for homeowners who want to use and store energy from their own photovoltaic system and power selected loads during power outages. Households using a heat pump or an electric vehicle can expand the system with Sunny Home Manager 2.0 to manage energy intelligently and benefit from forecast-based charging.
