SBSE7.7-US-50
Manufacturer: SMA Solar Technology AG / SMA America
Category: INVERTER
Catalog record details
Publication tier: PUBLIC_DOCUMENTED
Evidence class: VERIFIED_EXACT_MANUFACTURER_MODEL
Currentness: CURRENT
Federal incentive evidence
Federal project role: inverter
Domestic content evidence: INSUFFICIENT_EVIDENCE
U.S. manufacturing: UNKNOWN
Cell or wafer origin: UNKNOWN
PFE evidence: UNKNOWN
Material assistance data: SUPPLIER_CHAIN_INCOMPLETE
Manufacturer-document records linked to this model: 0. Those records do not by themselves establish domestic content or PFE status.
A U.S. factory, a BABA attestation, and an FTC Made in USA claim are not an IRS domestic-content determination. Ownership, component origin, and project location are not established by the catalog record.
This record does not say the product qualifies for section 48E.
What the evidence says
No U.S. contribution on the evidence Does Not Contribute
Verified evidence and applicable rules establish that this equipment does not add to the domestic-content calculation used here. Foreign-made equipment does not automatically disqualify a project.
Where it was made
Verified foreign manufacture. A manufacturer source names manufacture outside the United States for this identifier. That does not automatically disqualify a project.
IRS domestic-content contribution
Does Not Contribute. This is not a tax credit by itself.
BABA
BABA not verified. No DOE-hosted attestation in the Sunrise archive names this product.
PFE
PFE not established. Ownership, control, and material-assistance facts were not in the catalog. A country of manufacture is not a prohibited-foreign-entity finding.
U.S.-made, BABA, and IRS contribution are independent. This product does not independently guarantee a domestic-content bonus.
Evidence: Open source retrieved 2026-10-13.
Technical documentation
Solar inverters made in Germany by SMA Solar Technology AG.
IRS component treatment: Inverter. Steel or iron versus manufactured product: MANUFACTURED_PRODUCT.
Sources checked: Sunrise catalog identity (manufacturer, model, SKU, category); DOE-hosted BABA attestation archive (named-product match only); IRS Notice 2025-08 listed manufactured-product / steel-iron mapping by category; Stored facilities table (U.S. factory presence is not SKU origin); Stored manufacturer headquarters country (not treated as SKU origin); Manufacturer-document evidence table: no row linked to this model; Official catalog-part evidence table: no row linked to this SKU; Archived manufacturer files scanned for origin phrases (293 files; linked files only applied to this SKU); Official manufacturer library: https://www.sma-america.com (Manufacturer library home; entity-level unless the identifier is named); Archived manufacturer datasheet names this identifier: data/equipment/evidence/raw/sma_sunny_boy_smart_energy_datasheet.pdf (sma_sunny_boy_smart_energy_datasheet.pdf)
Still needed: Project-level mix of other domestic manufactured products still required for a project calculation
Why no stronger classification: The Germany sentence is on the Sunny Boy Smart Energy SBSE-US-50 datasheet. It is not applied to SB-1SP-US-41 model numbers. Foreign manufacture of this equipment does not automatically disqualify a project, and a BABA attestation would still be a separate question.

Power Hopper Sunrise is research support, not tax advice. A product badge is not a project tax credit.
