North Carolina, 11.3 kW

Greensboro Home System, 2024

Nestled within the lush landscape of Greensboro, North Carolina, is a vibrant city with a rich history and forward-thinking approach to sustainability. SMA America is proud to support this energy-efficient, American Craftsman-style home—a stunning 3,600 sq. ft. split-level residence. To maximize the value of their solar investment for years to come, the homeowners partnered with a trusted installer to design and implement their solar system.

For Veronica’s family, energy security and independence were top priorities. The hybrid capabilities of the Sunny Boy Storage Energy (SBSE) system, paired with Backup Secure, the SMA Energy Meter, and the BYD HVL Battery, offered the ideal PV system design to meet their needs. Since going solar, the family has achieved an impressive yearly average of 59% self-consumption and 74% self-sufficiency, showcasing the power of the SMA Home Energy solution.

“When the power goes out, our SMA Home Energy system with Backup Select kicks into action, with the battery reserve ensuring we still have electricity. We backup 9 circuits including things like two fridges, 1st floor lights/outlets, kitchen appliances, fireplace, and Wi-Fi. With two kids, it's all about maintaining a sense of normalcy, so I have more peace of mind knowing they can use devices and reading lights. I keep an eye on the solar energy and battery levels using the SMA Energy app to make sure we're managing usage wisely. SMA America's longstanding quality and reliability (German engineered and made) was important to us and our installer”.
