SMA ShadeFix – Intelligent energy yield optimization
Established product features and integrated software solutions will provide yield optimization
throughout the system’s entire service life. Even in the shade. SMA ShadeFix is a proprietary
inverter software that optimizes energy yield in nearly every situation. SMA Smart Connected
inverter monitoring offers enhanced safety by detecting errors at an early stage and
automatically reporting them to the installer.
SMA ArcFix – Effectively preventing electric arcs
The arc-fault circuit interrupter (AFCI) effectively detects possible electric arcs in the PV system
and the inverter stops feed-in operation before a fire can develop. SMA was one of the pioneers
when AFCIs were introduced in the U.S. and has kept steadily improving this solution over the
last decade. We will be equipping all our string inverters worldwide with our AFCI solution SMA
ArcFix in the future. In this way, we will consistently raise the already high safety standard of PV
systems yet further.
All products and services described, as well as technical data, are subject to change, including for reasons of country-specific requirements, at any time without notice. SMA assumes no liability for mistakes or printing errors. For the latest information, please visit www.SMA-Solar.com
SMA Smart Connected – Proactive communication in the event of faults
SMA Smart Connected* allows you to monitor your inverter via the SMA Sunny Portal for free.
If an inverter fails, SMA will proactively inform the system operator and the installer. This saves
valuable working time and costs.
With SMA Smart Connected, the installer benefits from rapid diagnostics by SMA. This allows the installer
to rectify the fault quickly and offer customers a range of additional and highly attractive services.
