“India is one of the key markets for SMA in Asia Pacific. In the last three years, we see the strong commitment from the Indian government as well as the growing market demand in the solar sector,” said John Susa, executive vice president of SMA Sales North America/APAC.

“We are very happy to see that our business growth not only comes from central inverters for utility-scale PV power plants but also from string inverters for the growing commercial segment,” said Rakesh Khanna, managing director of SMA India.
