    Hello is this inverter model equipped with the feature Secure Power Supply like the SMA Sunny Boy US?

    “SMA America just released their new line of Sunny Boy grid-tie inverters that allow you to have power from your solar system when the grid is down and the sun is shinning. This feature eliminates the need of batteries for energy storage by drawing energy directly from your solar panels.”

        Hi Anke
        I mean the perforated mesh wall panel that they use in the video? We would like to incorporate it in our system?

        Hi Naomi,
        Sorry, but these are tailor-made products, they´re not available for free sale. If you use perforated mesh walls, please make sure that the screws are the right type and thickness.
        Kind regards,
        Anke
