No one knows PV inverters as well as those who develop and build them. As the technology and world market leader, we support our customers with outstanding products that fulfill the increasingly complex tasks of modern solar power plants.  In addition, based on our more than 20 years' experience, we are single-source suppliers of the corresponding know-how, planning support, systems engineering and service.

Consultation 

Every PV power station is different. Therefore, from the very first enquiry and throughout the life cycle of the project, customers are looked after by a specialized SMA support team. Whether for the planning and design of a PV power station, design and installation of monitoring and control solutions, or for DC and AC cabling concepts, customers benefit from our proven technical expertise and worldwide customer proximity.  For instance, when regional grid access requirements need to be evaluated, by request, we will carry out a static power flow calculation for grid operators or provide verifiable information on the basis of certified simulation environments on the dynamic grid support functions of a large-scale PV plant (prior to installation).

Order to delivery

From order placement right through to plant commissioning, our project managers will oversee the implementation of the PV power station. They will take care of smooth order execution and assure on-time delivery. Even short-term changes can often be met. In addition, the project managers coordinate the timely transfer of the PV power station to SMA Service, as a rule as soon as commissioning has taken place. By request, SMA Service will even take care of the complete start-up of the plant. If there are questions about project documentation, the order processing managers who are part of each customer team handle them with ease.

Service & Maintenance

At present, SMA has over 72 Service stations worldwide. And counting. Thus, we have already established an efficient Sales and Service network assuring fast response times, regional expertise and long-term partnership. Our modular service concept also makes it possible for customers to tailor their own individual service package. Whether for investors wishing to keep the financial risk as low as possible, for plant operators with their own trained service technicians, or for project planners intending to sell off the PV plant after a short period of operation - SMA Services are tailored precisely to match the specific requirements of our customers And they even get it all from a single source: maintenance, spare parts warranty, diagnostics and repairs, or availability which we can guarantee on request up to 99 percent.

Installation & Grid Integration

As soon as commissioning of the PV power station has taken place, responsibility for the continuing care of the project is taken over by SMA Service. However, throughout the entire life cycle of a plant, customers can take advantage of the collective plant-specific expertise of the project managers at SMA under our Total Lifecycle Management program.
