SMA solar inverter reviews

Overall Rating From 580 Reviews:

Average Customer Rating:

SMA are the big granddaddy of inverter manufacturers. Founded way back in 1981 they are based out of Germany, turn over billions and employ about 5000 people.

They make fantastic inverters in their German factories which are renowned throughout the solar industry for their reliability. Many would say that they are the best inverters you can buy.

If you want a safe bet, you can't go wrong with an SMA. The only downside is that you tend to pay a premium for them.

(If you want an SMA backed inverter for a lot less cash, you may want to consider a ZeverSolar inverter. They are a budget Chinese brand that is 80% owned by SMA)

SMA Inverters have a strong local presence in Australia in the rare event that you have a warranty issue.

As you will see from the SMA inverter reviews below, complaints about their performance or reliability are rarer than rocking horse poo!

	This one is ready for batteries when the cost/performance of batteries is at an acceptable level. Bought From: Case Statewide Solar Review Date: 9 January 2017	Greg	NSW	2570
	Excellent performance to date. The smart meter option is more expensive and difficult to install than the Fronius version. Tom (from Goliath) did advise that when quoting but I wanted to go with the SMA anyway. I have subsequently not gone ahead with the smart meter but probably would have had I put the Fronius system in. Bought From: Goliath Electrical Review Date: 7 January 2017	Andy	SA	5081

	Just works. No issues at all. Bought From: Australian Solar Designs Review Date: 30 November 2016	Mark	ACT	2902
	The inverter has worked faultlessly since installation. I bought SMA so I could install and forget. I have not been disappointed Bought From: Beyond Solar Review Date: 24 November 2016	Toby	NSW	2170
	8 months is probably too short a time to give a Fantastic rating but it hasn't missed a beat. Hopefully it will keep on working as it is for many, many years. I did get an extended warranty so won't have to worry about it for 10 years. Bought From: Beyond Solar Review Date: 18 November 2016	John	NSW	2427
	I'm rated for 2.0 kw and my system never delivers more than 1.5 - even on the sunniest day. Bought From: Adam Solar Pty Ltd Review Date: 14 November 2016	Max	SA	5051
	Only issue is the ethernet connection to my home network. Once a session is timed out or completed then when I try to log back in to check performance it requires a router reset to clear the old session. Have installed the SUNNY TRIPOWER 5000TL I have a north facing array of 11 by 250 watt and 8 west facing. The two strings work great in maximizing power.

	It has Bluetooth capability that allows you to monitor its performance on your device. Allows two separate inputs from my 4 kW array. Bought From: Beyond Solar Review Date: 10 September 2016	Michael	NSW	2171
	Bought From: Australian Solar Designs Review Date: 10 September 2016	Tony	NSW	2540
	My inverter is a SMA 1.5 Sunny Boy and is very efficient for a small solar system. I love being able to track daily solar input on my computer. Bought From: Green Sun Solar Review Date: 30 August 2016	Susan	WA	6211
	Since I don't know what to expect the inverter seems to work fine. When I'm home during the day and I want to put the clothes dryer or oven on I can pop outside and see what the panels are producing and be reassured that I'm not buying off the grid, or not depending on the weather.

	First inverter actually had a problem after 3 months and was changed, neither installer or sma knew what was wrong with it. Was changed fairly quickly and without fuss. New inverter seems to run great but wasn't happy that the replacement was a refurbished one. Bought From: All Green Environmental Solutions Review Date: 21 July 2016	Scott	NSW	2280

	Haven't had any problems with the inverter since install, and just sits neatly on the wall and does its job. I particularly like the networked feature so I can access power production stats from anywhere using the portal. Bought From: Solar Wholesalers Review Date: 2 June 2016	Howell	SA	5038

	Would like to be able to work out how you get the current performance data on my phone. Bought From: Beyond Solar Review Date: 27 May 2016	Bruce	NSW	2444
	Our system has been calculated on our needs and is working fine. If I have anything negative to say I would direct it at the generation system as it appears to be the Achilles heal of the system. If anything is going to go wrong it will be the generator. Bought From: Toowoomba Solar Centre Review Date: 24 May 2016	Mick	QLD	4352
	Seems to work okay and continues to pump out the right thing. Minor problem is that it is "bluetooth" for how its working, but cannot be reached unless you are near the box so no good if computer is the other side of the house Bought From: Beyond Solar Review Date: 31 May 2016	Norman	NSW	2753
	Bought From: Solahart Review Date: 26 January 2016	Jeff	NSW	2444
	My only comment would be to improve some of the inverter software, although OK it is a bit unreliable and slow. Bought From: Regen Power Review Date: 23 May 2016	Trevor	WA	6233
	Bought From: Energo Review Date: 11 May 2016	Mark	VIC	3221
	The only problem encountered was that sma sunny portal and a mac computer are not very compatible for me to see daily reports etc. As the novelty has worn off I haven't been looking at daily reports anyway. Bought From: Solargain Review Date: 29 November 2015	Phil	ACT	2614
	It is a rather expensive but is very versatile and allows me to monitor my system's performance on my computer. I live in hopes it will allow me to use software being developed for better returns from feedin to the grid. Bought From: Blue Mountains Solar Review Date: 4 May 2016	Gerard	NSW	2782

	Inverter itself seems to work very well. No problems at all with the operation. The bluetooth capability is not great though. It only works with Windows products on laptop or PC and there is no app for either iOS or Android phones that can connect to the inverter. As I have a Mac, there is no easy way for me to connect to the inverter and receive/review data remotely. Bought From: Captain Green Review Date: 18 February 2016	Daniel	NSW	2232

	I haven't had a single problem with the SMA SUNNY TRIPOWER 5000TL. I love that I can monitor it via Bluetooth using the Sunny Explorer with my Windows 10 Surface Pro 3 and also using the Oxley Solar android app on my Samsung Galaxy Note 3. I highly recommend this inverter for anyone looking for a 3-Phase 5kW system. Bought From: Beyond Solar Review Date: 21 March 2016	Charles	NSW	2666
	Bought From: Solahart Review Date: 24 January 2016	Max	NSW	2463
	I've said good to all things, I'm very happy with the system so far, I'm unsure what to base my finding on at this stage. All Green Solar appears to have done an excellent job, and there have been no problems so far as I can see. I would recommend them as installers of solar panels. It took two electricity accounts to see a drop in the normal cost of electricity We saved about $120-130 over previous bills. Bought From: All Green Environmental Solutions Review Date: 27 January 2016	Les	NSW	2259
	I have given a rating of good because: The inverter has been operating for only 9 months, and while it appears to have done so without problem, I don't consider this is sufficient time to give a definitive assessment. Also, it's the first solar system I have experience of, so I have nothing to compare it to. Having ssod that, no complaints so far Bought From: Euro Solar Review Date: 18 March 2016	Peter	QLD	4878

	It just sits on the wall blinking it's green diodes at me, doing it's job quietly and quite uobtrusively (the only time I think of it is when I'm alongside, washing the car). If that's what it's supposed to do it does it very well. Bought From: Solargain Review Date: 17 December 2015	Ray	ACT	2913

	Make sure the installer includes a wireless network adapter so you can connect to the inverter to monitor usage, etc. Conveniently forgot to include that in price and it's a pain to have a wired access to the system. Bought From: Soltek Energy Review Date: 27 August 2015	Duane	NSW	2749

	Pity it doesn't talk to the Tesla Powerwall! When we had the system installed, I specifically asked if the system would be able to do so, and I was given the affirmative. I have since found out that this is not the case and that I will need to install a secondary inverter to talk to the Tesla battery. Bought From: LG Energy Review Date: 23 July 2015	Andrew	NSW	2800

	Since we had solar installed,we had ducted air conditioning installed, we told Hawkings we anted to do the air con. So they allowed for that in our number of panels. Our bill has gone from $ 700 to our last bill of $141 So we are thrilled with the overall performance. Bought From: Hawking Electrical Review Date: 21 April 2015	Dianne	QLD	4216

	The inverter performs fantastically. It is a 5kW inverter and during the day in summer on a cloudless day, it constantly shows an output of 5030W. The monitoring app is really easy to use, but make sure you have a data point nearby to allow it to connect to the internet. Bought From: CSA Services Review Date: 14 April 2015	Peter	QLD	4503

	The Inverter is 3 phase, 5 KW, and is Bluetoothed to my computer giving me day ,month and year totals. Bought From: iSolar Energy Review Date: 5 April 2015	Shaun	WA	6112
	So quiet and unobtrusive, I don't even know it's there. Very simple front-end, easy to read daily kWh, nice little graph to show solar output over the course of the day. Single bright green LED to show when it is operating. Only thing I would say is that the display goes off once the sun has gone down. Sometimes I would like to see daily kWh but I am too late to check before the display has gone off. However, apparently there is a bluetooth interface and I should be able to hook in to the inverter with my computer - I presume on the computer there would be a lot more info / historical data (I just can't be bothered setting it up)! Maybe this is something the installed could do in the future - set up computer access to the inverter for the customer. Bought From: Country Solar NT Review Date: 25 March 2015	Shani	NT	812

	Performing well. But the inverter was fogging up, Paul from Dunne Solar put in a warranty claim, SMA made Paul silicon same inlets, it made no difference. Then SMA sent a new Cover, Paul installed it and all is good. At inspection the inspector found my earth was not good enough. Meter box is on the garage , Solar on the House cable underground and 40 plus years old, the house needed separate Earth.

	SMA 4000-TL21 4KW inverter - running well, I monitor its performance via the Bluetooth connection using the Oxley Solar app on the Android tablet and the SMA Sunny Explorer on the PC. I'm considering having a fan kit installed as the inverter temp in mid summer is very high. The inverter is under the eaves and out of direct sunlight but it does get hot according to the Oxley app. Bought From: Solar Wholesalers Review Date: 4 November 2014	Jean-Pierre	SA	5125
	We have not yet been going for 12 months (installed Sept 2014, now it's June 2015).

	MANUFACTURER: SMA MODEL 5000TL Blue tooth connectivity from Inverter to computer excellent up to 2.5 metres. The display panel provides information during the day on Kwh produced total Mwh produced since installation. At the end of the day the SMA software provides information about total KWh produced for the day, and Total MWh produced since installation and a graph of how the system performed during the day. The software and Inverter manual is comprehensive. The 5kw Inverter & 20 Renesola panels on a clear hot sunny day has given the full rated output. Since installation I've not had a single problem to refer back to the installer. Bought From: Blue Tongue Solar Review Date: 10 April 2014	BYRON	VIC	3429

	Bluetooth output facility have used daily to monitor the system and work out my daily savings in an excel spreadsheet. The SMA software defaults after not using to an off line status and there is no way of changing it back to online - you have to click many times on the close down box to get out of the system which is a fault. Really pleased I chose the SMA and would strongly recommend to anyone thinking of an inverter to ensure it has bluetooth connectivity.

	One of the reasons I requested the SMA inverter is because it has remote monitoring capability via Bluetooth. This allows me to regularly check my inverter yield data. Since the system was turned on in late March 2014 I have been getting a yield which is tracking closely to the theoretical maximum I can expect from my location.

	I don't really have enough knowledge to be able to judge how the inverter is performing. On the 5.4 kW system the highest output from the panels measured so far is 4.65kW, with very few over 4 kW in the nine months the whole thing has been running. But I think this is a reflection on the Chinese panels rather than the inverter. Bought From: Goodhew Electrical and Solar Review Date: 28 January 2014	Wolfgang	QLD	4178

	So far so good. No hassels, no problems. haven't had to get the guys back or phone about anything. the estimates that the guys from infinity solar where obviously on the cautious side as we have made a lot more from sending back to the grid than we expected. Not sure if that means the inverter is converting more power or the panels are collecting more power. Bought From: Infinity Power Review Date: 15 April 2012	Brian	QLD	4873

	It doesn't like high temps. When temp gets around 38+ with hot north winds, it shuts down, then resets after about ten minutes. Between installer and power corp . it was found the voltage from the grid was too high.( 277volts ) Voltage was dropped down to 237. only played up once this last summer.

	The cooling fan failed about 2 months after installation. SMA Australia sent me a replacement fan under warranty with simple instructions for fitting it. In the third year, the inverter started dropping out several times a day. The fault was traced to excessive grid voltage supplied to my premises. Once reported to the supplier (Energex), the grid fault was rectified by them & no problems since. Several appliances in the home were damaged by the power surges & it was the error messages from the inverter that alerted me to the problem.

	The inverter died a couple of weeks ago (only 19 months old). It came up with an error message .. unstable operation and kept trying to restart (unsuccessfully).. Infinity Solar's response was very good .. Had a man out to test it same day and decided it needed replacing .. A unit was ordered and installed in 2 days. My only concern was that the inverter warning is visual and it is not an item i check regularly .. goodness knows how long it had been a problem .. perhaps an additional audible alarm would be a better solution.

	Inverter trips out every so often (every 3-6 months) due to overheating I suspect; unit wont put any power out once it has tripped, so its important to know its happened quickly or youre wasting the sun! On one occasion I didnt notice for at least two weeks. There is no obvious indicator that this happened apart from a small flashing light on screen; needs to be more obvious to indicate it needs a reset, or there is an autoreset once temp has subsided?

	The advice I would give is that a data connection to your inverter is okay, but you really want to know how much power you are using, vs. how much power you are producing.

	I had problems with the original SMA 2.3kW Sunny Boy 2500 Inverter. It took 3 replacements over 7 mths to fix a local supply voltage/current problem. Original inverter and its replacement could not handle current fluctuations without regularly turning off (Called 'A Disturbance'). AV Elect gave terrific service over this period and I highly recommend him. He initially upgraded the Inverter-to-Meter AC wiring and organized the 3 replacement inverters. The 2nd replacement, which was a $250 upgrade overcame the supply problem but had to be returned due to incorrect factory settings. (Was set to UK time zone and did not auto start in the morning). The last replacement has been working faultlessly and is more efficient than the earlier model. The SMA rep has been tireless in his support and advice. The new Inverter can be modified and interrogated via Bluetooth, but despite giving SMA access to my PC I have still not been able to make it work via the USB dongle. However that is of no concern to me after all the other setbacks. Suffice to say that both SMA and AV Elect were very supportive. SP Ausnet were helpful in quickly lowering the supply voltage at the local transformer. Origin Energy however took 10 monthe to finalize the paperwork. I i.e. From July 2011 when the initial docs were sent by AV Elect, to May 2012 when Origin finally credited me with the 66c/kWh Premium Feed In Tariff. This included two ammended bills. I did not get the bill for the new Inp/Exp Meter until this month. On the phone Origin blamed SP Ausnet. You work it out! Hope all this is helpful to you and other customers. Keep up the good work Finn. Regards, John PS. I have comprehensive records covering this whole saga. Bought From: A V Electrical Review Date: 8 July 2011	John	VIC	3909

	Problem below fixed under warranty and it was due to faulty isolator boxes. Our isolator switches weren't installed well as water got in and two out of three streams were not working for months in peak Nov/Dec timeframe! The installers were good as they come out and fixed with a blow dryer and silicone as a temporary fix and then it happened again, but this time I was more aware to look out for the red flashing light, and called them straight away this time and they come immediately again and promised to get electricians to come out and replace them with new one's (isolator boxes) but that hasn't happened yet. We are disappointed that our friends are almost $2,000 in credit and we are owing a bill as we missed good sunshine time to make Kwh to feed back into the grid!!!!!

	It's been almost one year since installation and the inverter is as efficient as the first day. SMA have a proven record of high performance and efficiency and mine is no exception. They cost more but their overall long term performance is worthy. In the last week, I expanded my solar system from a 3kw to a 7kw with a second inverter. This time I got the Sunpower inverter made by Fronius, also a solid performer with a good reputation. I would recommend these two brands of inverters.

	I was fortunate in that The Solar Shop went into liquidation soon after our installation was completed, I wonder now whether I would have been caught up in this disaster had I not "pestered" them for an install date. Because the name has been sold on the new Solar shop does not recognise any guarantees promised by the former company which is disappointing, so I can only hope that everything in regard to the install is correct. I had a total of three electricians (from different companies) attend my place before they got it right but I think that was as a result of the former Solar Shop going for the cheapest price.

	We had a 5kw inverter installed with 5kw panels, we stated where they were to be placed on the nth side of the roof, we were told there would be ample room left to install a solar hotwater system in solar pool heating for a small plunge pool. We asked if the inverter could be placed beside the fuse box in the garage for easy reading.....as we are an older retired couple. The inverter was placed above the fuse box at ceiling height, so the only way to view it is by ladder...wonderful for old people. As our home is two storey we couldn't see the panel on the roof but believed the company when told they were in the correct position. It wasn't until goolge updated their maps we found out the panels were placed like railway tracks the full length of the roof, making it impossible to install the further installations. THIS IS THE GOOD PART....the power bill came in at $1000.00 for 12 weeks. So you are aware, this is a duplex retirement unit, the pool has not been installed and there are no extravagant appliances in use. I contacted the Vsolar representative that came to our home, but found out he had left the company, so I spoke to the sales manager who after looking at our roof with google asked why we had the panels installed that way.....we explained we didn't that his company did it for some reason. We sent him a copy of the power bill and he said he would book a solar inspection to find out why we are now having such high bills. This inspection didn't happen and he now refuses to take our calls or answer our emails. I phoned and spoke to the owner, explaining the situation, he said he would get back to us when he sorted it out. It is now a week later and we still have not heard anything. It is lovely when old age pensioners who save all there lives, try to do the correct thing by having solar installed end up getting ripped off and disregarded. It seem if we end up getting solar hotwater, we will have to pay to have the solar panels moved. Bought From: Solaris Solar Energy Review Date: 29 November 2010	Anon	QLD	4300

	Probably more a physics thing than an inverter issue, but our mains board is the other end of the house from where our inverter is, so we lose and element of feed in the 30 meters the current has to travel from our inverter to the meter before being uploaded to the grid. At time of writing, the system has produced 64kw more than has been fed it. I write this only for information for anyone installing a system, that the less distance the signal has to travel, the less power you will lose hence more money you will make.

	I chose "good" because it does the job but I can not compare it to anything else. I have 2 systems one on my investment property and I devised a plan to increase the rent to my tenant by going halves of any savings they had. It turned out to be too much so I let them off with an increase of $15.00/week. I was stoked I worked out that I could recover my house costs with in 10 years but the eletricity supplierincresed th tariff so much and so often I gave up. Nice to see some one doing something nice for so many for nothing glad I could help and thankyou for your assist to me if I forgot to mention that before.

	My SMA 3000 appears to be extremely sensitive to photovoltiac levels and change as reflected by the suns intensity so I conclude that I am getting a high level of efficiency. Bought From: Sunshine Coast Solar Review Date: 26 August 2010	Denis	QLD	4557
	Extremely efficient Bought From: Energy Matters Review Date: 25 August 2010	Ray	NSW	2850
	The maximum output of the system appears capped at a fixed maximum output. This may be unavoidable for reasons that I do not understand, but it appears that maximum efficiency may not be being reached. The maximum output of the panels is roughly equal to the capacity of the inverter but the actual generating capacity falls ~20% short. For our particular household, the amount of electricity generated (and exported) is still sufficient. Bought From: Australsun Review Date: 15 October 2010	Andrew	WA	6150
	Our power bills used to be around $ 300 per quarter, now with our system of 16 X 175watt BP panels that generate enough power to cover costs and put us in credit each quarter Bought From: Cairns Solar Review Date: 6 July 2010	Trevor	QLD	4870

	No problems as yet. It is almost double the rated capacity of the panels feeding it, i did this with expansion in mind. This means that it is not particularly stressed. Bought From: Solar Newcastle Review Date: 5 November 2010	Richard	NSW	2330

N/A	The SA power networks guy came a couple of weeks ago and turned on the system. To my surprise the Inverter has been showing an error since then and no power has been generated. Contacted the installer and apparently SMA are sending a new replacement. Waiting for that to happen. Bought From: Green Engineering Review Date: 15 June 2016	Ali	SA	5033
	2 x 5000TL Inverters with 40 x 200w panels. Installed Nov 2013. Hasnt missed a beat. Use bluetooth and Oxley Pro which transfers data to pvoutput.org. Really good for monitoring system and understanding usage paterns etc. Averaging 30kWh per day generation. Saving $1200 pa on only 6.8 cents rebate for shaded panels facing East-West. Looking at batteries now to save more. Bought From: Venergy Review Date: 7 February 2016	Tony	SA	5068
