SMA Inverters

SMA Solar Technology are possibly the grand-daddy of solar energy focussed European companies. Their Sunny Boy inverters are ubiquitous and competitively priced, giving them an edge when it comes to small-scale rooftop solar PV systems for domestic customers.

SMA Solar Technology also produce a range of competitive commercial solar PV solutions for any type of commercial project, and have a very desirable range of AC coupled battery management solutions which are suitable for the offgrid minded customer.

Their Sunny Portal software offering should meet the needs of most customers, while their warranties – extendable up to 20 years – emphasise the faith that SMA have in their own products.

Based on the warranty offered, SMA are built-to-last, which is music in the ears of every engineer.
