SMA to Sponsor and Exhibit at 28th Annual ESA Conference and Expo

Long a Leader in Storage, SMA has Sold 100,000 Battery-Based inverters

As energy storage continues to grow in the U.S., SMA is pleased to sponsor and exhibit at the Energy Storage Association’s (ESA) 28th Annual Conference and Expo, which will take place April 18-20, 2018, in Boston, Mass. ESA is the premier storage-affiliated trade association in the U.S., and its conference is an ideal opportunity for networking, education and collaboration among solar and storage professionals.

“SMA has been a leader and an authority on storage since the company’s inception,” said Volker Wachenfeld, executive vice president of SMA’s Off-grid and Storage business unit. “With 100,000 battery-based inverters sold globally, we have long recognized that battery storage is the key in transforming to a fully decentralized energy supply based on renewable energy. We are pleased to see the market expanding in the U.S. and look forward to participating in this year’s ESA event.”

At the conference, SMA will highlight the company’s utility-scale storage solutions and the benefits they provide—including greater control on the grid and better integration of renewables—with SMA experts on hand to answer questions and provide information. Those in attendance can expect to learn more about SMA’s Sunny Central Storage solution, which offers a full power class lineup for 1,000 and 1,500 V applications. SMA will also soon offer the Sunny Boy Storage inverter, an intelligent energy management solution for residential installations.
