SMA Solar has posted losses of €65.4 million in 2025, which it attributed to a series of “one-time items”, including muted market demand.

Chinese manufacturers dominate PV Tech Research’s new inverter bankability rating report, but recent EU and US policies targeting Chinese-made inverters may create opportunities for other companies.
