InvertersSunny Boy Inverters
SMA Technologie AG was founded in 1981 as a spin-off of the University in Kassel. The founders pursued their vision of developing and producing intelligent computer-based control systems for decentralized energy supply. This vision resulted in sophisticated products that are fail-safe and extremely reliable. In an energy supply system it is especially important that long-term, trouble-free operation is guaranteed.

SMA America’s office in California supplies the renewable energy markets in North and South America with the most efficient and reliable inverters available and was founded in 2000 in order to provide superior service to the growing North American Customer base and to ensure that SMA is completely harmonized with the market needs of the Americans.

SMA was a pioneer in the field of solar technology and today sets the standards for decentralized power supply systems. This leadership position has been supported by close cooperation with ISET (the “Institut für Solare Energieversorgungstechnik”).

The "Sunny Boy" inverter has made SMA the world market leader in the field of innovative device technology for renewable energy sources. Private, commercial and institutional owners of solar power plants rely on our photovoltaic inverters and numerous possibilities for a wide range of different communication systems. Our state of the art electronics manufacturing processes ensure the quality, reliability and up-to-date technology of our products.

SMA Technologie AG,headquartered in Niestetal, Germany, has subsidiaries in the US, Spain, Italy, China and South Korea, employs more than 1000 employees worldwide and had a total revenue of more than 172 million Euros in 2005.
