SMA 200A Automatic Backup Unit w/ Energy Meter

When the power goes out, the last thing you want to worry about is complicated switches, tangled wiring, or whether your backup power will actually kick in. The SMA 200A Automatic Backup Unit w/ Energy Meter removes that stress by combining everything needed for automatic home backup into one smart, reliable device.

Instead of using several separate pieces of equipment, this backup unit brings together everything your system needs to detect outages, switch to backup power, and manage your home’s energy. That means fewer components to install, fewer points of failure, and a cleaner, simpler system design.

At the heart of the automatic backup unit w/ energy meter is a 200-amp automatic transfer switch, which instantly and safely disconnects your home from the utility grid during an outage. This allows your solar panels and battery storage system to continue powering your home independently until the grid is restored. You never need to flip a switch or reset anything—it all happens automatically.

But that’s only part of what this unit can do. It also includes an integrated energy meter that tracks how much power your home uses, along with how much energy you’re producing and storing. This gives you better visibility into your energy habits while helping the system operate more efficiently. The built-in SMA backup controller coordinates solar power, battery storage, and household energy loads so your home always receives the right amount of energy from the right source.

The SMA 200A Automatic Backup Unit isn’t just smart—it’s designed to make your life easier. It turns what used to be a complex installation into a single, ready-to-go device. It’s reliable, simple to use, and integrates seamlessly with existing SMA solar systems.

Since it includes SMA’s backup controller, the automatic backup unit w/ energy meter actively manages your energy during normal operation and outages. When the grid goes down, it switches your home to backup power instantly. When the grid becomes stable again, it reconnects safely—no user intervention needed.

The built-in energy metering feature also gives you valuable insight into your household energy patterns, helping you fine-tune usage or evaluate your solar system’s performance. Think of it as having a real-time energy dashboard built directly into your backup system.

For homeowners planning a solar-plus-storage setup, the SMA 200A Automatic Backup Unit w/ Energy Meter can save significant time and cost during installation. Instead of wiring together a transfer switch, energy meter, breakers, and a controller, your installer simply connects this one integrated unit. That means a cleaner installation, fewer wiring errors, and reduced maintenance over the long term.

The system is built for durability, featuring heavy-duty components rated for continuous operation. And because SMA designs its equipment to work together, this backup unit pairs perfectly with Sunny Boy Smart Energy inverters and other SMA products, ensuring smooth communication across your system.

This unit is ideal for homeowners who want whole-home backup without the complexity of multiple devices. It’s especially valuable if you already use SMA inverters or plan to install them, since it was designed specifically for seamless compatibility. If your goal is dependable, intelligent backup power that requires zero manual intervention, this product delivers.

The SMA 200A Automatic Backup Unit w/ Energy Meter is the ultimate plug-and-play backup solution. It provides automatic switching during outages, daily smart energy management, and real-time usage insights—all in one compact package.

With this device, you don’t need to be an electrician or tech expert to take control of your home’s energy. It’s reliable, intelligent, and built to keep your home running smoothly no matter what happens outside.
