PV Application: Shade-Accommodating String Inverters from SMA Webinar

Yes, you read that right. SMA has a Sunny Boy inverter that reduces the effects of partial shading (and we don’t mean our new micro inverter).

Patented in 2008 and introduced to the U.S. last year, SMA’s OptiTrac™ Global Peak MPPT made its debut in the new Sunny Boy 3000TL-US/3800TL-US/4000TL-US/5000TL-US/6000TL-US inverter series. Using sophisticated IV curve sweeps at periodic intervals, OptiTrac Global Peak is able to significantly reduce the effects of partial shading on a PV array. This webinar will provide an in-depth look at this special feature, including a live demonstration of the process in action. OptiTrac Global Peak— another industry first from SMA—is a high-return, lower-risk feature that allows a string inverter to compete with module-level devices.
