  • Pressemitteilung Der SMA Technologie AG
    SMA Solar Technology AG—Press Release SMA to deliver operations and maintenance services for TerraForm Power’s North American solar fleet Niestetal, Germany, November 27, 2019—SMA America, the U.S. subsidiary of SMA Solar Technology AG (SMA/FWB: S92), has signed a 10-year framework agreement with TerraForm Power for SMA to provide operations and maintenance (O&M) services for TerraForm Power’s North American solar fleet. Starting in early 2020, the companies will enter into long-term project-level service agreements and transition operations to SMA. The 10-year agreement covers approximately 1 gigawatt of TerraForm Powers’ existing solar portfolio. “We are pleased that TerraForm Power has selected SMA as the O&M services partner for its North American solar fleet. With this award SMA is strengthening its position among the top providers of O&M services,” said Jürgen Reinert, Chief Executive Officer of SMA. “As a leading inverter repowering specialist SMA offers solutions that can replace obsolete inverters thereby enhancing plant performance. This includes repowering of defunct inverters when original equipment manufacturers no longer support equipment. Our nationwide service footprint and global presence give us an additional advantage.” SMA is uniquely qualified to serve as the custodian of Terraform Power’s assets given its knowledge of inverter technology and more than 35-year experience in photovoltaics technology. SMA’s expertise reduces TerraForm Power’s operational risk and aligns with the latter company’s objective to maximize production and improve reliability. “We are pleased to sign an innovative framework agreement with SMA to oversee O&M activities for our North American solar fleet and believe this agreement will prove to be an important operational milestone for TerraForm Power,” said John Stinebaugh, Chief Executive Officer of TerraForm Power.

    SMA Solar Technology AG—Press Release Emission-free driving: The new SMA EV Charger combines solar power and e-mobility Niestetal, September 10, 2020 – According to forecasts, one million electric vehicles will be on Germany’s roads by 2022. Around 80% of these will be charged at home. Using solar power from your own roof has benefits not only for the environment, but also for your wallet. That is why SMA has developed the SMA EV Charger. The intelligent charging solution always charges electric vehicles in such a way that the maximum amount of self-generated solar power is used. Even when charging has to be done really quickly. Furthermore, the SMA EV Charger integrates seamlessly into the SMA Energy System Home, making installation and maintenance easier for installers. “Solar power makes e-mobility really worthwhile,” said Nick Morbach, Executive Vice President of the Home & Business Solutions business unit at SMA. “That's why we developed the SMA EV Charger. It enables electric car drivers to always charge conveniently and reliably while using the maximum available amount of cost-effective and CO2- neutral solar power. With the SMA EV Charger, we provide installers with a key component of an ‘all-in-one package’, because the SMA EV Charger is part of the SMA Energy System Home. All components, including communication for the domestic energy system, come from a single source, and there is only one contact point for questions regarding expansion, warranties or service.” Fast and reliable charging – with solar power, of course The SMA EV Charger enables fast, reliable and cost-effective charging and for this purpose has various charging modes.
