SMA America announced that it will begin assembling medium voltage power plant (MVPS) solutions in the United States in 2026 to strengthen the company's logistics network and enhance services to utility scale solar customers across the country. The inverters will still be manufactured in Germany and then shipped to the United States, where they will be integrated with transformers and rails to form the final system, which will ultimately be delivered to customers.

MVPS is a fully integrated turnkey solution that integrates SMA central inverters, medium voltage transformers, and switchgear in a 20 foot sliding rail container. It is designed specifically for large-scale solar and energy storage projects, ensuring efficient and grid compliant energy conversion while minimizing on-site installation work.

Jay Arghestani, General Manager of Large Equipment Sales, Technology, and Marketing at SMA America, stated, "This is a crucial step forward for both SMA America and our customers. Domestic integration can help shorten project timelines, reduce transportation complexity, and may contribute to domestic content strategies under the Inflation Reduction Act, depending on how customers construct their solutions. ”

SMA plans to begin assembling MVPS in the United States in the first quarter of 2026 and gradually launch it to customers in the second quarter of 2026. In the process of increasing local production capacity, the share of local content will gradually increase.
