The Sunny Boy Control is ideal for monitoring nearly
every kind of PV system. From medium residential
to large industrial plants, each Sunny Boy Control can
report on, store information from, and monitor up to
50 Sunny Boy inverters. For very large plants several
Sunny Boy Controls can be linked to one conputer for
monitoring of the entire plant from one PC.
The sunny boy control is highly flexable in its communication
options. Communication between the Sunny Boy inverters
and the Sunny Boy Control can be accomplished through
the Powerline, RS 485, or RS 232. Between your Sunny
Boy Control and your PC communication is usualy accomplished
with RS 232. The optional RS 485 interface allows for
future expansion of you PV plant with the ability to
communicate to multiple Sunny Boy Controls.
Suitable for PV Plants of any size
Simple and easy to use
User friendly design
High flexibility
Plant monitoring and remote diagnosis
Integrated Powerline communication
Advanced energy management
Low power consumption
Interfaces for external displays
Compatible with Sunny Data Control software
Sunny Boy Control is the right data acquisition and
diagnosis unit both for small and large-scale PV plants
in the MW power range.
All Sunny Boys are able to send their data via the
integrated Powerline modem via the public utility grid.
On request an RS485 connection can be integrated.
The Sunny Data Control software developed by SMA evaluates
and displays the data acquired.
