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.
Windy Boy 3000-US
A reliable option with UL certification
User-friendly, safe and reliable: the Windy Boy 3000-US is specially certified for the US market. The automatic grid voltage detection* allows for a straightforward and secure installation. The aluminum die-cast enclosure and the OptiCool active cooling system ensure optimal yield as well as a long lifespan, even under adverse operating conditions.
