Wind energy

WINDY BOY - grid-coupling small wind energy plants
The grid-coupling of small wind energy plants is simpler than ever - with the Windy Boy from SMA. It converts the variable frequency voltage from wind generators into grid conforming AC voltage. Thus the energy can be used privately, excess energy fed into the mains grid and respectively remunerated. The Windy Boy works perfectly together with the Sunny Island in stand-alone grids for the electrification of remote areas.

The Windy Boys are suitable for wind generators from a wide variety of manufacturers and power classes. They guarantee an optimal power adjustment and very high energy yields.They are also best suited for flexible and worldwide use - ensured by the robust housing, the SMA Grid Guard disconnection device, the electric separation to the grid along with an automatic 50 or 60 Hz recognition.

Versatile performer with UL certification

The Windy Boy inverters with UL certification have a first-rate efficiency level. They are easy to combine since multiple devices can be operated on a single generator. Thus, higher power plants can be readily connected to the grid. The automatic grid voltage detection* allows for a straightforward and secure installation. The galvanic isolation also ensures safety as well as flexible connection options. The weatherproof enclosure and the wide temperature range allow for installation at almost any location. These units are the best choice for small wind plants over 5 kW.
