ROCKLIN, Calif., Oct. 16, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- SMA will
showcase a variety of solutions for residential, commercial and
utility-scale applications at unique indoor and outdoor exhibits at
Solar Power International in Las
Vegas, October 20-23. Among
them will be new inverters, highlighted in booth #524, while the
SMA Solar Sprinter van, which features a fully operational PV
system, will be on display outside the main hall entrance.

Both exhibits will feature a theme familiar to Las Vegas, a town known for title bouts: The
Main Event.
"SMA is delivering a one-two punch with dual interactive,
boxing-themed exhibits at Solar Power International," said
Henry Dziuba, president and general
manager of SMA America and president of SMA Canada. "SMA offers
innovative technology for every power class and application and we
are excited to share our newest and most advanced PV solutions with
the industry's best and brightest."
Solar Power International attendees can expect to see one of
SMA's most dynamic booths to date. Products on display include:
- Sunny Boy TL-US with Secure Power Supply: SMA has
expanded its popular Sunny Boy TL-US line of inverters with Secure
Power Supply with new 7,000- and 7,700-watt models. Like the rest
of this inverter series, the Sunny Boy 7000TL-US and 7700TL-US each
provide up to 1,500 W of daytime standby power in the event of a
grid outage for charging laptops, cell phones and more, without the
need of additional, costly batteries.
Also on display will be the Sunny Boy TL-US Rapid Shutdown Kit,
which will house the inverter's upcoming rapid shutdown feature.
This solution will meet 2014 NEC 690.12 rapid shutdown requirements
and will be released soon.
- Sunny Tripower TL-US: The Sunny Tripower TL-US
brings the sophistication of SMA's utility-scale approach to the
commercial market. Ideal for decentralized PV systems, this
three-phase transformerless inverter is suitable for both 600 V DC
and 1,000 V DC applications, allowing for flexible design and a
lower levelized cost of energy. It is available as the Sunny
Tripower 12000TL-US, 15000TL-US, 20000TL-US and 24000TL-US.
- MLX 60: The new MLX 60 is a 60 kW inverter that
combines the advantages of decentralized system layouts with the
benefits of a centralized inverter design, bringing together the
best of both worlds. It features CEC efficiency of 98 percent for
maximum energy production and an earlier return on investment, as
well as industry-leading power density, simplifying transportation
and reducing logistical expenses.
- Utility Power System: The new Utility Power
System is an integrated, compact DC-to-AC system solution for
utility-scale PV consisting of advanced engineered components,
including the new Sunny Central 2000-US inverter, medium-voltage
transformer, DC combiners, high-speed plant control and system-wide
services. The Utility Power System's efficient design delivers
higher energy yields while reducing capital and operating
expenditures, resulting in optimum levelized cost of energy and an
overall reduction in system costs
- O&M Services: SMA's Solar Asset Management
portfolio of services provides developers, EPCs, utilities and
investors with the PV industry's best financial backstop and
long-term plan to maximize system performance, energy production
and financial returns. That includes SMA's comprehensive range of
plant-wide utility and commercial operations and maintenance, which
includes array, racking, balance-of-system and 24/7 remote
monitoring services.
Located directly in front of the main entrance of the
Las Vegas Convention Center (South
Hall) will be the SMA Solar Sprinter van. It features eight
roof-mounted modules that provide power to a Sunny Boy 3000TL-US
with Secure Power Supply as part of an AC-coupled micro-grid using
a Sunny Island off-grid inverter, Smartformer and small battery
bank. All the equipment is fully operational during demonstrations.
Also on display in the Solar Sprinter will be two Sunny Boy 240-US
micro inverters, a Sunny Multigate-US and a Sunny Tripower
TL-US.
Elsewhere at the show, SMA will be participating in a variety of
speaking engagements, including a walking session (Getting the Most
Out of Your System: Storage/Inverters), a panel discussion
(Advanced Inverters and Deployment) and two poster presentations
(Navigating the Changing Requirements of PV Interconnection,
Operations and Metering; and Optimization of Utility-Scale PV
Systems). SMA will also have continuous, in-booth presentations
from four different speakers over the course of the show.
