SMA is a producer and manufacturer of solar inverters for photovoltaic systems with grid connection, off-grid power supply and backup operations and is present in 20 countries. The company made sales worth 900 million euros in 2017.
The SMA solar system works on the grid-connected photovoltaic power system, or grid-connected PV system.
This is an electricity-generating solar PV system that is connected to the mains supply. It consists of solar panels, one or several SMA inverters, a power conditioning unit and grid connection equipment.
“The system ranges from small residential and commercial rooftop systems to large utility-scale solar power stations. Unlike stand-alone power systems, a grid-connected system rarely includes an integrated battery solution, as they are still very expensive,” said Davis & Shirtliff’s Technical Director Eng. Philip Holi in a statement.
The manufacturing industry is being urged to adopt clean and renewable energy sources like solar to power their plants and help their business cut costs and become more energy independent.
Companies and organizations of all shapes and sizes and in nearly every sector are making concrete moves to install solar systems to lower their energy bills.
‘’Manufacturers in the country utilize a significant amount of electricity during the production process. All of this energy constitutes a major overhead cost for the organization, in addition to contributing to a significant amount of pollution to power the plant,” said Holi.
