The Sunny Tripower TL-US is an SMA family of three-phase string inverters for the US market. Its models are the STP 12000TL-US-10, 15000TL-US-10, 20000TL-US-10, 24000TL-US-10 and 30000TL-US-10. The installation manual has separate technical data sections: one covers the 12000, 15000 and 20000 models, and the other covers the 24000 and 30000 models. SMA documents a Rapid Shutdown DC discharge function that has to be activated on the inverter. SMA service articles cover commissioning, recommissioning, event messages, troubleshooting and checking the PV system for ground faults on this family. The SMA Hybrid Controller datasheet lists the STP US-10 among its compatible Sunny Tripower inverters. Installers returning a defective unit from abroad can look up its customs value for the TL-US-10 models in the SMA Online Service Center.
