Selected User Reviews For SMA Sunny Boy 5.0-US 5000W Grid Tie Inverter
As a replacement, this item was purchased. Installing it was a breeze. It's a nice, simple inverter to set up. The seller was fantastic in assisting me with the UPS issues that the pandemic had caused. I'd like to offer one additional installation suggestion. There's an option to match the power grid in your area. It's a bit of a puzzle. The inverter would not sync to the grid when I tried a few of them. Then I came across one titled "worst case scenario" (no joke). The inverter powered up quickly and performs admirably. SMA will only assist you if you are a certified installer, so don't expect assistance from them. I like their gear, but I'm not a fan of businesses that have such policies.
I needed a replacement for my inverter, which I had to replace three times due to failures during its warranty period. I no longer wanted to deal with it, so I switched brands and upgraded to newer technology. This inverter was easy to set up; I didn't have to calibrate it, and it either synced up to the grid on its own or I got lucky. Then I switched it on, and it began to generate electricity. Is there anything else you could want? I'm hoping that this SMA unit will serve me well for many years.
The inverter arrived quickly and at a reasonable price.
