Hi,

Not a thread for advertising or marketing but rather for purely sharing offers adn information on green equipment and / or solutions.

To start... found this today in my email.
Pitty that SMA is not authorised for Irish grid !






SMA Sunny Boy Smart Energy 3600 Solar Inverter with Integrated Storage

The Sunny Boy Smart Energy is the first integrated solar storage solution from SMA, this is a perfect answer for households looking for an all-in –one system. This system combines all of the benefits of a SMA Solar Inverter combined with a Lithium Battery boasting a capacity of 2 kWh. This allows the homeowner to have the benefit of self-consumption all from the same unit.

With its integrated battery, the Sunny Boy Smart Energy offers many advantages. It provides a smart way to increase self-consumption, but it also makes it easy to use self-produced solar power after the sun goes down.

• Significantly reduced initial investment thanks to an application-oriented battery capacity of 2 kWh
• No need to design the battery system – so no battery expertise is required
• Quick and easy wall mounting
• Efficient charge management and load control
• Maximised reliability through lithium-ion cells from LG Chem

Combined with the Sunny Home Manager, the Sunny Boy Smart Energy is the core component of the SMA Integrated Storage System. It offers an incredibly easy path to greater independence as part of the SMA Smart Home intelligent energy management.

• Approximately 52 percent less electricity purchased from electric utility companies*
• Self-consumption rate increased from 30 percent to typically 55 percent**
• Usage of solar power possible nearly 24 hours a day
• All PV power generated annually is used even when the active power is limited to 13549 percent or 60 percent of the nominal PV array power in accordance with the • Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG) or the energy storage subsidy.
• Outstanding efficiency in terms of power conversion and temporary power storage

*Compared to a household without a PV system
** All figures are based on an annual PV generation of 5,000 kWh, annual power consumption of the equivalent amount, an effective battery capacity of 2 kWh and use of a Sunny Home Manager.

SMA SMART HOME

Within the SMA Smart Home, the Sunny Boy Smart Energy and Sunny Home Manager ensure that self-produced solar power is used in the best possible way, intelligently distributed and – as an option – stored. This delivers increased self-consumption, improves transparency and guarantees greater independence.

• Planning reliability and cost savings with solar power at fixed, low rates
• Maximise the eco-friendliness of your energy supply by using solar power from your own roof
• Greater independence with no compromises in terms of comfort or supply reliability
• Automatic optimisation functions that take individual preferences into account
• Cost-saving potential is made visible through complete energy budget transparency

can sma not set inverter to en50438?

I trained on SMA equipment in Ireland. It's been a few years but I'd be surprised!

2kWh?

What a joke at what, almost €4k?

I see it as a single, whole integrated AND supported solution.
Supplied and monitored by same protocols and company !?
There are bigger capacity as well but for basic tasks,from 6pm untill next morning i guess will do the job (with overnight charging or topping-up)

PS in small letters:
Why is a joke...wait until "rightful owner" Tesla remotely over the air modifies the "virtual owners" EVs car performance and then we can have a joke !!

2 KwHr. Max savings 30c per day at 15c per KwHr. Annual saving of €109 based on buying this, plus the panels to generate 2kwhr per day.

The reality is that cycling any battery costs 11c to 15c per KwHr based on expected battery cycles and amount stored per cycle. Batteries need to halve in price before they become viable.

In the meantime, the grid would be a better battery if only we could get paid for our exports.

I see Electric Ireland have reduced their Solar PV offering by 500 euro. for 6 * 285w panels. Water diverter optional . Is ther better offers out there? I would be interested to know.
1.7kw system . 3,980k without diverter and 4,490 with diverter.

The hardware for 6x290W on a slate roof for retrofit would typically be well below €2K. A diverter is about €300. I don't think I can't see installation making up the difference unless its a 4 storey house. I wouldn't include the ESB offering in the bargain bucket.

It's a special offer thread not a bargain bucket thread.

Apologies to OP. That was a cheap shot.

I'm a bit cynical about ESB embracing micro-generators. It gets my goat that as a semi-state body that has had its jack-boot on the neck of solar and other micro-generators, now they want a bite of the cherry (without offering to buy back surplus power from anyone).

People will go for this because of the strength of the brand, but their hardware is no better (or worse) than others in this market. They can use public money to roll out an offering at inflated prices that will find customers because they trust the name. :mad:
