Ilonka Nussbaumer Takes Over From Reiner Wettlaufer on SMA Supervisory Board

Niestetal, September 10, 2019 - Kassel District Court appointed Ilonka
Nussbaumer, Senior Vice President and Head of Human Resources at Danfoss, as
a member of the Supervisory Board of SMA Solar Technology AG (SMA/FWB: S92).
The new shareholder representative was appointed after Reiner Wettlaufer,
co-founder, former CFO and long-standing Supervisory Board member of SMA,
stepped down for personal reasons. Ilonka Nussbaumer will bring in
particular her international management experience in the field of human
resources to the Board.

"We would like to thank Reiner Wettlaufer for his many years of dedicated
work on the Supervisory Board," said Dr. Erik Ehrentraut, Chairman of the
Supervisory Board of SMA Solar Technology AG. "As one of the four founders
of SMA, Reiner Wettlaufer has dedicated his entire professional career to
the company and applied his outstanding financial and technical expertise to
play a key role in SMA's development into a world-leading specialist in
photovoltaic systems technology. Furthermore, Reiner Wettlaufer has also
contributed to establishing a unique cooperative and transparent corporate
culture since the company was founded, without which the company's economic
success would not have been conceivable. The Supervisory Board deeply
regrets to see Reiner Wettlaufer go but respects his decision. We are
pleased that Ilonka Nussbaumer, an extremely competent and highly qualified
individual, will succeed him as a member of the SMA Supervisory Board. She
is an internationally experienced manager with outstanding knowledge,
particularly in the field of human resources, from whom SMA can enormously
benefit on its path to becoming a system and solution provider."
