SunMaster product philosophy
Mastervolt inverters are designed to maximize annual yield under
realistic conditions. In addition to perfect performance under normal
conditions, you can expect the best possible energy capture – even in
less favourable conditions.

Fast installation and ease of use
Ease of use for both user and installer are key product features for
Mastervolt. A clear graphic display with daily yield and a 30-day energy
log provide the vital information you need about the operation of your
PV system. The improved Optima Cooling system guarantees cool
and efficient operation of the inverter and low noise, while the IP65
electronics housing provides optimum protection against moisture
and dust. This makes the SunMaster ES suitable for both indoor and
outdoor installation. For a fast and flexible connection, the SunMaster
ES comes with a waterproof plug and an integrated DC switch for
optimum safety. Mounting is easy thanks to the robust, integrated
handles and a mounting bracket. Another highly practical feature is
the communication cassette, which can be partly taken out from the
inverter.
Flexible and communicative
The SunMaster ES works with any type of solar panel, including the
latest thin film technologies*. The high input voltage and extensive
operating range simplify the system design and reduce losses, while the
reliable RS485 interface allows the inverter to be combined with a wide
range of monitoring products. The inverter is also equipped with an
Ethernet connection for network integration.
* Certain types of thin film panels require functional earthing. In such cases
Mastervolt recommends its SunMaster XS inverters with HF transformer.
Reactive Power settings
Depending on local regulations, utilities may require provision of
reactive power. The SunMaster ES models are fully prepared for
the German low voltage directive VDE-AR-4105. This feature will
be activated when the corresponding country is selected during
commissioning.

The Mastervolt philosophy
The SunMaster ES is developed based on
Mastervolt’s unique philosophy, the result
of 20 years of solar experience. In addition
to maximum efficiency, we focus on high
yields in less than optimal conditions.
As a result the SunMaster ES has various
exclusive features:

DC protection
• By starting up at optimal voltage, the
SunMaster ES extends the solar day,
while its low no-load consumption helps
convert solar power down to the last ray
of sun.
• The SunMaster ES is immune to minor
electricity failures and only goes offline
when absolutely necessary.
• The MPP tracker tracks the light
conditions quickly and carefully to
achieve a considerably higher annual
yield. Tests in realistic conditions show
that 99.8% of the available PV power is
converted!
• The inverter can track the optimal
operating point, even in shaded
conditions.
• Cable losses reduced by up to 75%
compared to conventional inverters.
• The non-isolated SunMaster ES achieves
a stable and high conversion efficiency,
even in changing weather conditions.
• The SunMaster ES stays cool, even in
warm outside temperatures, maximising
efficiency and lifespan.
