The Sunny Boy 25000
The SWR25000 is the workhorse of the American PV market. It nas
been the inverter of choice for over 3 years with installers across
_ North and South America. With its flexible output voltage, either 240
VAC or 208 VAC, the SWR25000 is ready to tackle a wioe :anye cr
applications from medium sized residential to very large 3-phase
commercial or industrial systems. Just like every other Sunny coy
Inverter the SWR25000 can be configured for any of the
communications options available. Which means you can combine
them with other SMA inverters and access all the data in one central
-- location.
