SMA Technology AG was founded as an independent company out of Kassel's University in 1981 with the vision to develop and produce intelligent computer-based control systems for decentralized energy supply.

This vision resulted in sophisticated products that are fail-safe and extremely reliable, especially as an energy supply system has to guarantee long-term trouble-free operation.

SMA Technologie has 20 years of experience in the development and fabrication of system technology for photovoltaic, wind energy and combined power generation plants, continuous product improvements and the use of absolutely new technologies, SMA is a pioneer in the field of solar technology.

The close cooperation with the ISET (Institut für Solare Energieversorgungstechnik) in the field of research resulted in innovations that have set standards specifically for decentralized power supply systems.
