SUNNY BOY 3000TL / 4000TL / 5000TL with Reactive Power Control

Universally applicable thanks to integrated grid management functions

The ideal solution particularly for demanding PV arrays and partially shaded plants: As multi-string devices, the new transformerless Sunny Boy 3000TL, 4000TL and 5000TL models offer maximum planning and realization flexibility. The high DC voltage of 750 V proves to be a cost advantage, since fewer parallel strings are required. In addition, the integrated grid management functions make the devices suitable for universal applications and allow them to actively support the grid. The new wall mounting system further facilitates installation.
