SMA Smart Home a Crowd-Puller at Intersolar Europe 2013
Niestetal/Munich, June 26, 2013 - Intersolar Europe 2013 was a great
success for SMA Solar
Technology AG (SMA). At its booth stretching over 1,000 square meters, the
company showcased its innovative solutions for every photovoltaic system
application. During the entire trade fair, the SMA Smart Home booth area in
particular pulled in large crowds. Here SMA presented its comprehensive
system solution for intelligent energy management in private households.
The Sunny Boy Smart Energy is an integral component of the system. The
first wall-mounted large volume PV inverter with integrated battery storage
was honored with the Intersolar AWARD in the category 'Photovoltaics' at
the fair.
Innovations for the Energy Supply of Tomorrow
'Both the large amount of public interest in our booth and the honoring of
the Sunny Boy Smart Energy with the Intersolar AWARD show that already
today SMA is developing suitable solutions for the energy supply of
tomorrow. From the SMA Smart Home, a comprehensive, intelligent energy
management system for private households, and the SMA Fuel Save Solution
for an economic electricity supply system aimed at industrial consumers in
sunny regions to turnkey system solutions for PV power plants - our smart
system technology is making a global contribution to the success of the
energy transition and thus to the realization of a decentralized electrical
energy supply system based on renewable energies,' explains SMA Chief
Technology Officer Roland Grebe.
Cooperation with Leading Manufacturers
The presentation of the SMA Smart Home was met with great interest. Its
system concept is unique in the marketplace. It can intelligently control
household appliances on the basis of PV generation and consumption
forecasts and integrate optional storage systems to significantly increase
the self-consumption of solar electricity. SMA is working closely with
renowned manufacturers in other areas to ensure the optimal integration of
additional components into the intelligent energy management system: with
Miele for the direct integration of household appliances and with Stiebel
Eltron and Vaillant for the integration of heat pumps.
Visitors to the trade fair booth also learned about research projects with
leading automotive manufacturers for the integration of electric mobility
into energy management and the electricity market. The batteries of
electric vehicles can be used as an additional storage source for
electricity and provide grid management services.
Complete System Solutions for PV Power Plants and Photovoltaic Diesel
Hybrid Systems
SMA also highlighted its extensive system technology competence with new
developments for commercial and industrial photovoltaic applications. In
addition to the MV Power Station for all central PV power plants, the
Compact MV Power Platform, specifically developed for the American market,
was shown at the trade fair booth. It meets all US-specific requirements
for inverters, transformers and PV farm control at once.
For an economic energy supply system aimed at industrial consumers in sunny
regions without an adequate utility grid, the company presented the SMA
Fuel Save Solution. In photovoltaic diesel hybrid systems, it ensures
shorter diesel running periods and significantly reduced fuel consumption
through the needs-oriented regulation of the PV feed-in.
Great Interest at the Capital Markets Day
At Intersolar Europe, analysts and investors were also impressed by the
innovative prowess of SMA. The company hosted Capital Markets Day 2013 on
the sidelines of the trade fair, and around 30 financial professionals were
involved in a tour of the trade fair booth as part of the event. Chief
Executive Officer Pierre-Pascal Urbon and Chief Financial Officer Lydia
Sommer then presented SMA's strategy for the future to the participants.
