Fuel Cell Inverters
Trendsetting and efficient: the Hydro Boy inverters are ideal for an environmentally-friendly expansion of off-grid systems using SMA products. Whether it's to supply energy to remote regions far from the grid, or to provide electricity in case of emergency to unstable grids: the development of self-sufficient stand-alone systems is an important future market. Against the backdrop of rising diesel and heating oil prices, SMA inverters are in demand, forward thinking products.
Trend setting technology
The functional principle: the Hydro Boy efficiently converts the DC current produced by the fuel cell into AC current. This must be done using low voltage and strong electrical currents. The Hydro Boy from SMA meets these unique demands and has been tried and tested throughout our 25 years of experience with innovative energy supply systems.
Expansion of stand-alone systems
SMA is the only manufacturer in the world to offer AC coupled PV systems for self-sufficient energy supply systems ranging from one to 100 kW. Along with stand-alone and solar inverters from SMA, the Hydro Boy is an important component in a reliable standard AC voltage grid. The H2 Island Extension complements the necessary batteries in a stand-alone grid with a fuel cell featuring a hydrogen accumulator.
Everything from a single source
From the reliable island manager Sunny Island to the solar inverters Sunny Boy and Sunny Mini Central and from the inverter for wind power Windy Boy to the Hydro Boy: SMA is your one stop shop for perfectly matched components for an AC connected stand-alone grid. Assembling and setting up stand-alone grids has never been easier.
