Everything's bigger in Texas, right? This municipal solar project in San Antonio certainly is, generating an impressive 1.19 megawatts with its 14 Sunny Tripower CORE1 and 3 Sunny Tripower X inverters. Kudos to Big Sun Solar and the City of San Antonio Office of Sustainability for their collaboration in keeping San Antonio #FullofEnergy. #TeamSMA #Solar Edward Gonzales Charles C.

We are just two days away from your chance to learn how to utilize Sunny Design to help design PV systems that utilize a large DC:AC ratio. Why might this be of interest to you? That's easy. We're seeing an increase in the number of systems that use more DC capacity (the array STC rating) than AC capacity (the inverter nameplate). In this hour-long session, we'll take a deep dive into the intricacies of this type of system design, looking at how to identify when clipping is expected to occur and how to select the optimal PV array size. Wednesday, February 26 9:00am – 10:00am PST Online webinar Register at the link below, we can't wait to see you there. #SunnyDesign #DCACratio #PVSystemDesign #SolarAcademy #TeamSMA Michael Mahon Johnny Ramirez, M.S.

PV powered brewing? We can't think of a better way to kick off the weekend. Check out this 1MW system put together by our friends at HES Renewables featuring the Sunny Tripower CORE1. This system pumps out 1.5 million kWh annually to keep those tanks running - offsetting nearly 70% of Ballast Point's grid energy consumption. Here's to solar-powered suds! #SMAAmerica #TeamSMA #HESRenewables #Commercialsolar Charles C. Smith Edward Gonzales Justin Morgan Claire R.
