SMA solar inverters review

SMA are the big granddaddy of inverter manufacturers. Founded way back in 1981, the company is based in Germany, turns over billions and employs around 5000 people.

SMA solar inverters were originally only produced in German factories, but they went through a period in 2017-2018 where they manufactured their single-phase "Sunny boy" inverters in China. In December 2018, they announced that they intended to move manufacturing out of China.

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.

SMA Inverter Warranty Notes

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

You may find it difficult to be connected to the right person to help, as SMA's phone support system is quite opaque. At the time of writing (April 2019), calling SMA's phone line connects you with an automated voice-message that is directed at solar installers, with no prompts for inverter owners to be connected to a relevant department. 

If you ignore what the automated voice recordings tell you until you are connected to a human being, you will find the SMA team to be very helpful in answering warranty related questions.

If you're looking to find an SMA-certified installer to assist you with an existing SMA installation, you can use SMA's "Power Up" online service here.

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

Inverter seems to work fine probably better if it showed ave kw for the week & month. This whole system took 3 months to be installed by ESD because of them stuffing us around So much and then another 2 months to get the new smart meter installed. This needs to be streamlined especially seeing we were told it would all be fully completed & operational in 6 weeks. So we have really only be up and running for 5 months now so it is a bit early for a real evaluation.

The inverter failed on 22-12-17 (good time to do it). It just stopped working with no alarm of system failure. Dave Seymour came and checked it out and couldn't find what the problem was on the morning of Christmas eve. He managed to leave a message with the emergency number for SMA service. The unit was delivered and replaced by Dave on 30-12-17. The new inverter has been working well ever since. Dave enquired as to what the diagnosis was with the failed inverter but didn't get any feedback. Service from both the installer and the manufacturer was excellent but it would have been good to know what the fault was.

Don't really know as we haven't experienced any other brand
Bought From: Solartech Energy Solutions Review Date: 26 December 2017		 Malcolm QLD 4703
This unit requires that the two channels of solar power input are NOT balanced, i.e. I have a 40 panel system but you do not split the panels equally as one input side on SMA has a lower max current than the other. Once this was rectified the output went to its full 10KW. Fortunately for me the inspector noticed the error and the installers promptly returned and fixed so I am still very satisfied with the results, just letting people know to watch out for the peak power level not being reached.
Bought From: Energy Matters Review Date: 23 December 2017		 Mark VIC 3018
Our whole system has only been operating for about 8 months, but to this point we are very happy with it. In the last 6 months we have paid $5 for all our power bills. We have an app n our phone which lets us know how well our system is working all seems to be fine at this point.

WiFi connectivity can be a bit flaky; but that's probably down to the positioning of the unit relative to my router (they're quite far apart) rather than something intrinsic to the unit

Quite often the invertor when losing wifi connection to my home will not automaticall reconnect. Must connect to invertor wifi, and then go to "installer" role and rekey in my home network wifi password. Would be great if the invertor remembered this password but it does not.

If internet drops out for any reason the Inverter has trouble reconnecting. Only way is to restart the INverter which is difficult to do if you are overseas. So during that time you receive no info on solar production etc.

The SMA SB5000TL is connected via Ethernet, but seems to get confused about what day it is, when being interrogated. I upgraded the firmware, but no appreciable difference. I hate WiFi radiation, so I disabled it in the inverter, and was pleased that they had a "Hotwire" (Ethernet) connection available (even though it keeps changing I.P. addresses).

The sunny boy inverter works extremely well is reliable but the huge drawback is that it is old technology reliable but 10 to 12 years old in its development. And is not compatible with any of the new technology to be able to manage and sell your power back to the grid. We were extremely disappointed to find out we had purchased a reliable but dumb technology. This was not pointed out to us by Energy Matters and even know we said we intended to install the battery and were interested in new technology. To be able to make this brand-new but all technology system work with a smart battery we need to fit basically another inverter which will set on the wall next to another brand-new one. We did go online to check out the inverters and sunny boy comes up as reliable of course. But we were not smart enough to ask the next question is it compatible with the new battery technology. The answer is basically no. Unless you want to install a dumb battery. The opportunities for smart batteries which monitor and predict your usage as Well as have the capacity to store and sell Energy back to the grid. Is not possible even know our system is brand-new. We are extremely annoyed with ourselves but also with our energy installer and sales person because they did not point out the limitations of this system. To fit a smart battery will cost about $4000 more because we have to install a smart inverter which will do exactly the same job as the sunny boy but is much more flexible in how it with manages the battery. We also need a new power board which we were told was not necessary by The salesman and the installer but that's not correct so another $1500 to be able to install the battery.

Really need to buy the best, and highly recommend the SMA inverter, after all you only get what you pay for.
Bought From: Solahart Review Date: 3 October 2017		 Graham QLD 4560
We have found that there are many, what we have been told, are "spikes" in the grid power system. Initially they were causing us to lose about 50% of our production - the spike would shut down the inverter which would take ages - sometimes hours - to restart. We contacted the installer who gave some explanation about the spikes - apparently related to distance from a transformer on the grid - and they made some adjustments to the settings on the inverter. It's better now but I believe we still lose 15-20% of the potential production as a result of these spikes. No-one mentioned this possibility to us, and if they had we would have sought more specific advice about them before buying. It might be useful to include some advice about them and their consequences and remedies in your pre-purchase information.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

It doesn't like high temps. When temp gets around 38+ with hot north winds, it shuts down, then resets after about ten minutes.

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.

We have two SMA inverters - 5 KW and 3 KW. This is work the 39 panels that are located on two separate rooves, which face the sun at different angles. The Inverters are easy to use and are bluetooth to allow download of data onto a Laptop or mobile device. I have been too lazy to use this facility. to-date, the inverters have been trouble free.

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? Text sent to mobile phone of reset would be good?

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. For this you need a wireless meter installed in the meterbox such as Watts Clever.

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.

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.

Original 1.7kw inverter failed after 24 weeks; was inspected and confirmed failed by installer and replaced without question - ten days from failure to installation of replacement inverter (none in stock locally). Very happy with system and decided to upgrade. Now have a 5kw SMA inverter which can accept input from two separate arrays.

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.

I am very happy I had the System installed when I did, I had solar hot water installed about 18 years ago, I have no complaints, I have received two electric bills in the past two years, one for $38. last winter and $118. this winter,I have been using the electric heater a lot more than previous years, Maybe it's my age , but the winter weather seemed colder and wetter for longer this year. I feel having the 10 x 165 watt panels and SB1700 watt inverter is fine for me. I can afford to stay comfortable in my home and not have to worry about crippling electricity bills. Highly recommend installing a systeme suitable for your life style.

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.

Extremely efficient
Bought From: Energy Matters Review Date: 4 September 2012		 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.
