Customers looking for assistance with SMA’s Sunny Boy and Sunny Island inverters can call the service technicians who have been specifically trained to help with problems that arise during installation, operation and fault analysis and advice on the use of the company’s communication hardware. Service representatives have a PV simulator located at the Rocklin site and an inverter laboratory in order to help them fully provide troubleshooting assistance to customers.

The simulator has working Sunny Boy inverters with communication and monitoring systems that can mimic the problem a customer is dealing with and allow the service technician a more remote, but hands on approach. In the lab, Sunny Island off-grid systems are available as well as Sunny Island inverters, a multicluster box, generator and battery bank. Furthermore, working Sunny Boy and Sunny Central inverters along with a webcam provide live support as do the technicians’ abilities to log into a customer’s SMA Sunny WebBox to identify and fix problems.

Service technicians also have the ability to contact field service agents, which are located throughout North America, who, if need be, can provide on-site service.
