SMA SBSE11.5-US.50 Hybrid Inverter

The SMA SBSE11.5-US-50 is a high-performance hybrid inverter from SMA’s Sunny Boy Smart Energy lineup. It combines PV generation and battery storage capabilities into a single, compact unit. This 2-in-1 design simplifies installations, reduces electrical upgrades, and delivers exceptional flexibility for residential and light commercial solar projects nationwide.

Key Features and Benefits

• Ultimate Oversizing and Flexibility: Supports 200% DC/AC ratio with up to 23,040 W max PV input. It features 4 MPPT inputs (for larger models), allowing installers to optimize arrays with varying roof orientations or shading. Ideal for maximizing energy harvest in diverse U.S. climates.
• Hybrid and Coupling Options: Handles both DC-coupled and AC-coupled battery storage. It works seamlessly with compatible lithium-ion batteries (90-500V range) and supports modular expansion as energy needs grow.
• Backup Power Capabilities: Includes SMA Backup Secure for up to 1,920 W of 120V backup power during outages (with or without a battery while the sun shines). Optional SMA Backup Select expands this further for critical loads.
• Advanced Optimization and Monitoring: Integrated SMA ShadeFix provides shade optimization without needing module-level optimizers. Built-in WLAN, Ethernet, and RS-485 interfaces, plus SunSpec RSD transmitter, enable fast commissioning via the SMA 360° app. Smart Connected offers proactive monitoring and support.
• Efficiency and Reliability: Achieves up to 98.1% max efficiency and CEC efficiency around 97%. Transformerless design with natural convection cooling, NEMA 3R / IP65 rating, and a standard 10-year warranty (extendable). Made with SMA’s German engineering heritage.
