Grid independence with solar power

An island in the Caribbean, a monastery in Greece or a research center in the Antarctic - SMA off-grid systems can be used anywhere.

A reliable electricity supply with grid quality and scalable systems even in the most remote regions of the world are exactly what SMA Multicluster systems provide.

Benefits

100% independence from the utility grid and electricity costs

Modular systems can be expanded if energy consumption rises later on

Long distances between energy sources and loads easily possible thanks to AC coupling

Multiple energy sources can be combined, for example, photovoltaics, wind power, hydropower, cogeneration or diesel generators
