Sunnyboy 17000TL question

[edrobbo8]

Hi,

Does anyone know of the top of their head what power a sunnyboy 17000 inverter draws on the ac side to run?

Thanks

The inverters generally run by using power from the dc side. However when there is no dc (ie at night) then the technical datasheet says its self consumption at night is 1W.

5watts consumption / 0.1watt nightime
quite a old design with 93.5% effciency
modern transformer inverters these days to 97% plus
