SMA launches the Sunny Tripower 3.0-6.0 PV inverter at All Energy 2018 in Australia

“Australia has become one of the key PV markets for SMA. We have seen the increasing market demand for products and solutions with more power, lower cost as well as easier installation and commissioning,” said Nick Morbach, executive vice president of SMA’s Residential and Commercial business unit. “The new Sunny Tripower 3.0-6.0 combines top inverter performance with maximum ease and comfort for owners and installers. It reliably ensures maximum solar yields and reduces energy costs. The new SMA Data Manager M, in combination with the new Sunny Portal powered by ennexOS, optimizes communication, monitoring and control of PV systems.”

“Innovation means to SMA continued and future success. In such a dynamic environment, like the Australian solar market, SMA sees it as essential to forge ahead with innovation as a critical business driver,” said Michael Rutt, managing director of SMA Australia. “This approach is not only limited to innovation in products or solutions, but also in other areas such as engagement in the regulatory process, market strategy and business models in maintaining market share, revenue and profitability.”

All Energy 2018 will see SMA launch two new initiatives in conjunction with some new product offerings: the SMA “Power Up” dealer program and a new SMA Solar Academy live training with all real working machines in a Mobile Lab. Both programs are designed to deliver significant benefits to the residential and commercial installer market by way of improved installer partnerships and advanced solutions training.

The local team consists of over 40 skilled engineering, sales, marketing and service staff. SMA Australia has sales personnel across the country and a strong product distribution network with national coverage.
