Introducing SMA Home Energy Solutions with the Innovative Sunny Boy Smart Energy Hybrid Inverter
SMA is launching the new SMA Home Energy Solutions which feature a range of products, including the Sunny Boy Smart Energy (SBSE) hybrid inverter, SMA Energy Meter, optional SMA Backup Secure, SMA 360° app, SMA ShadeFix and the SMA Energy App. Homeowners can now safeguard themselves against grid instabilities and rising energy costs while enjoying greater control over their energy consumption.
At the heart of SMA Home Energy Solutions lies the Sunny Boy Smart Energy hybrid inverter, a 2-in-1 device that enables both immediate energy use and storage. Backup Secure is SMA''s solution to provide daytime energy to a dedicated power outlet during grid outages, providing homeowners with access to power as the sun shines. This hybrid solar inverter provides homeowners the ability to generate solar power and store this energy for later use. This home solution is a flexible and dynamic way for homeowners to manage their energy needs effectively.
"The new Sunny Boy Smart Energy has a visually pleasing, new modular design that will allow installers to customize to the needs of the individual consumer," said Nhan Pimentel, U.S vice president of residential solutions. "The inverter is often the centerpiece of a solar installation. SMA designed the Sunny Boy Smart Energy to not only be aesthetically pleasing with its modern curves, but SMA also took into consideration safety, ease of installation with the centralized SMA Easy Lock and smaller and lighter footprint."
SMA Home Energy Solutions stands out due to its exceptional adaptability and flexibility in design. Installers can start with a PV-only system and seamlessly incorporate storage at a later stage. With an impressive 200% DC to AC sizing flexibility and a DC-coupled battery design, designers and installers gain the freedom to create customized solutions that meet each homeowner''s unique requirements. The system’s future-proof design only involves adding PV sizing to the main service panel. Batteries do not impact AC breaker size, making installation significantly easier and more cost-effective.
The Integrated System Manager enables seamless management and monitoring of up to four solar inverters, energy meters and batteries. The system also features SMA ShadeFix technology, delivering optimal PV system energy production in challenging situations, such as complex array designs and shaded solar panels. This advanced feature enhances the system’s efficiency, making it ideal for homeowners seeking maximum energy output.
The SMA 360° app works seamlessly with Sunny Portal, powered by ennexOS and SMA Smart Connected, to provide control and peace of mind to both installers and homeowners. Offering modular solutions for custom designs and easy upgrades, the new SMA Home Energy Solutions are engineered to meet current customers’ needs while being flexible enough to adapt to future demands.

The SMA Sunny Boy Smart Energy single-phase hybrid inverter is the two-in-one solution for the generation and flexible use of solar power at home.
The Sunny Boy Smart Energy is the ideal gateway to an all-round energy transition in the home. As a PV and battery inverter in one, it ensures a reliable and sustainable supply of energy. Thanks to the integrated secure power supply for selected loads and an optional full-home backup function for both 1- and 3-phase installations, it will continue to operate even if the utility grid fails.
Three MPP trackers allow varying roof orientations to be incorporated into plans for solar power production. The hybrid inverter offers very fast charging for connected batteries and makes the most of days with few hours of sunshine.
Heat pumps, charging solutions for electric vehicles and smart energy management can be flexibly integrated into the energy system at any time. This means greater independence from rising energy costs and conventional energy supplies. With the Sunny Boy Smart Energy, users can expect the high standard of quality that comes with a product made in Germany.
In combination with the SMA Home Storage battery, the Sunny Boy Smart Energy offers even more flexibility and enhanced energy storage.
The SMA Backup solution for installations with the Sunny Boy Smart Energy ensures reliable power supply, even during outages. Thanks to the automatic and seamless transition between on- and off-grid mode, households remain reliably powered at all times.
Available as an external box for single-phase systems (SMA Backup 1P) or a compact built-in solution for three-phase installations (SMA Backup 3P Kit), it reliably supplies all household appliances. With an exceptionally low standby consumption of just 1 W, it combines efficiency and security to effortlessly bridge unexpected power outages with the help of the sun.
The market introduction of the Sunny Boy Smart Energy is planned for Q1/ 2024. It will be available in Germany, Benelux, Spain and Italy depending on country-specific certification. Australia, as well as further European countries will follow in 2024.
As an installer, you can order the Sunny Boy Smart Energy from a local distributor of SMA solutions in those countries where the inverter is available.
You can find an overview of our distribution partners here.
The duration of the standard warranty for the Sunny Boy Smart Energy X is 5 years. The owner can get 5 year''s extra warranty by registering his inverter in the Online Service Center. More information can be found here.
The owner can get 5 year''s extra warranty by registering his inverter in the Online Service Center. Warranty can further be extended up to 20 years. More information can be found here.
Yes. The three integrated MPP trackers also allow configurations like this with the Sunny Boy Smart Energy.
A Surge protection device can be optionally connected on the DC side. They are offered as type 1+2 and type 2 as accessories from 3rd party companies.
You can operate multiple Sunny Boy Smart Energy inverters in a single system. It is not possible however to use multiple Sunny Boy Smart Energy inverters in one system with the Sunny Home Manager.
Yes, this is possible. Furthermore the Sunny Boy Smart Energy is then able to charge from both DC and AC side.
The SMA Solar Academy will offer a range of webinars for this new inverter: solaracademy.sma /en/courses.
Our instructors will be happy to answer any technical or general questions you may have.
Yes, the inverter has SMA ArcFix integrated.
The capacity limits are coming from the maximal voltage of the battery system. The modules will be connected in series and with each battery module the voltage will increase. Due to the voltage limitation by 500V, it is possible to connect maximum 4 SMA Home Storage modules. For batteries from other manufacturers, it is important to check the maximal voltage of the battery system.
Yes, thanks to the SG ready, EEbus and SEMP contact included in the Sunny Boy Smart Energy it is possible to add a heat pump to a system. A Sunny Home Manager is also required.
It is possible to monitor each string individually via Sunny Portal powered by ennexOS on the Analysis Pro page.
Yes, they are, because they use the same output.
