SMA Sunny Boy Smart Energy SBSE 7.7 > 7700 Watt 208/240 VAC Single Phase Hybrid Inverter

For over 40 years, SMA has been the leader in solar energy and the new SMA Home Energy Solution will continue this trajectory. Installers choose SMA for reliability, performance and innovation. At the heart of the SMA Home Energy Solution is the new, ground-breaking Sunny Boy Smart Energy hybrid inverter. This system enables both immediate energy use and storage in one single device. SMA Backup Secure is back (previously Secure Power Supply). With most grid-tied inverters, when the grid goes down, so does the solar-powered home. SMA's solution provides daytime energy to a dedicated power outlet during grid outages, providing homeowners with access to power as the sun shines. With its high-speed battery charging capabilities to its easy installation and handling, this newest offering will provide a capable, flexible solution that empowers homeowners to take control of their energy.
