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 powerful compact devices
Ideal for small wind turbine systems: The programmable polynomial curve of the Windy Boy 1200 and 1700 inverters enables ideal adjustment to the characteristic curve of the turbine thus increasing the yield. The weatherproof enclosure and the wide temperature range allow for installation at almost any location. The devices are optimally adjusted to fast and frequent load changes and, with the Windy Boy Protection Box, provide the perfect interface for any turbine. Using the integrated display and different communication interfaces you can monitor all plant values at any time.
