SMA Claims the Top Spot Among Worldwide PV Monitoring Providers Again in 2017

The comparative study entitled Global PV Monitoring 2017 – 2022: Markets, Trends and Leading Players shows that with more than 17 GW of PV power monitored worldwide, SMA is the clear leader on the list of 62 PV monitoring providers analyzed. Monitored solar output increased by approximately 1.5 GW in the first half of 2017. SMA reported substantial growth in the industrial PV solutions segment in particular, responsible for 1 MW to 5 MW, and now sits at the top of the rankings with approximately 3.8 GW of monitored PV system output. That means that as in previous years, SMA has confirmed its position as a global provider of online monitoring services. In addition, SMA is the world’s leading provider of monitoring and energy management solutions for residential PV systems, as revealed in a study by U.S. analytics company Navigant Research published at the end of September.
