SMA is committed to building on its reliable Sunny Boy-US line of inverters and developing the best possible technology for the residential market, which continues to be an essential component of the U.S. solar industry. We look forward to providing everything from smart inverters to home energy management and residential storage solutions for Sunrun and its customers.”
Over the last couple of months, SMA has rolled out a number of developments in residential solar technology. All Sunny Boy inverters are now equipped with SMA Smart Connected, a new service technology for automatic monitoring.
Lynn Jurich, Sunrun chief executive officer and co-founder, added: “Residential solar and storage will increasingly become a key contributor to America's future energy system. As households adopt our Brightbox home battery service, we want to ensure they are enabled with the industry-leading and smart technology.
“Sunrun selected SMA as a key supplier because of its long history of reliable and high-quality products, as well as the company's ongoing pursuit of the best and most advanced inverter technology.”
