Sunny Boy 1.5-2.5-1VL-40

The Sunny Boy 1.5-2.5-1VL-40 is an SMA family of Sunny Boy PV inverters made up of three models: SB1.5-1VL-40, SB2.0-1VL-40 and SB2.5-1VL-40. SMA lists eManuals and downloadable manuals for the Sunny Boy 1.5, 2.0 and 2.5 among its current Sunny Boy inverters. The SB 1.5 and 2.5-1VL-40 can connect to Sunny Portal through SMA Webconnect. Both Webconnect 1.0 and Webconnect 1.5 are supported, and Webconnect 1.5 needs the latest firmware. Webconnect 1.5 talks to Sunny Portal over TCP/IP. On company networks, you may need to allow outgoing TCP traffic to wco.sunnyportal.com on port 9524. SMA compatibility tables give different minimum firmware versions for this family, such as 3.10.xx.R and 2.03.01.R. The tables shown here do not say which SMA system or function these minimums apply to, so check the matching SMA document before commissioning. An SMA backup planning document lists firmware 1.01.07.R for the SB1.5 and SB2.5 models and 02.05.01.R for the SB2.0 model.

<!-- review notes

• sentence 2: support check: partial - The article lists eManuals and pdf download manuals for Sunny Boy 1.5/2.0/2.5 in the current section (not archived), but 'current' is only implied by the archive section.
• sentence 3: support check: partial - SB 1.5/2.5-1VL-40 is listed under both Webconnect 1.0 and 1.5 (latest firmware), but the passage doesn't mention the SB2.0 and the table layout is ambiguous; the core is largely supported.
• sentence 6: support check: partial - The table lists 1.01.07.R for SB1.5/SB2.5 and 02.05.01.R for SB2.0, but nothing identifies the document as a backup planning document. -->
