SMA Solar Technology

SMA America, Inc. is the United States-based division of global solar giant SMA Solar Technology AG, located in Germany. SMA America supplies North and Central America with the world's most advanced inverter and control products for renewable energy sources, primarily solar. As the world leader in solar inverter technology and manufacturing, SMA inverters already provide more than three gigawatts of power around the globe from clean sources such as the sun, wind and water. Over the past 27 years, SMA's research-driven foundation, forward-thinking technology and bold entrepreneurial vision have allowed the company to expand across four continents.

SMA Solar Technology, founded in 1981, has been able to achieve previously unimaginable efficiencies in power conversion (the process of changing photovoltaic cells' native direct current into utility-compliant alternating current), up to an astonishing 98 percent. In 1996, SMA launched the Sunny Boy line of inverters, which quickly became the most popular line in the world. In 2000, SMA America was founded with its headquarters in California-home to 80 percent of the U.S. solar market at that time. As one of nine global subsidiaries, SMA America is committed to its leadership role, offering exceptional value with the most efficient and reliable solar inverters in the industry. SMA takes special pride in promoting renewable energy solutions at all levels through education, information and support for the general public and solar installers, as well as for small and large businesses.
