2.1 Intended Use
The Sunny Boy is a PV inverter which converts the direct current of the PV array to alternating current
and feeds it into the power distribution grid. The Sunny Boy is suitable for use with fuel cells, small
wind turbine systems and other DC power sources.
Figure 1: Principle of a PV plant with Sunny Boy
The Sunny Boy takes current from a DC source and converts it to alternating current for the power
distribution grid. This current is then supplied to the local loads (C). Surplus energy is fed into the
power distribution grid (E). The amount of current needed from the power distribution grid is reduced
due to the current supplied to the load from the PV plant. An energy surplus may even result in the
energy meter (D) of your plant running backward. This power may also be recorded as power credits
by the local utility company depending on the interconnection agreement.
The Sunny Boy is suitable for indoor and outdoor use.
The Sunny Boy may only be operated with PV arrays of protection class II. The PV modules used must
be suitable for use with the Sunny Boy and must be approved by the module manufacturer. Do not
connect any energy sources other than PV modules to the Sunny Boy.
