As solar energy accounts for an increasing share of the power supply, manufacturers of photovoltaic (PV) installations must prioritize cybersecurity. This focus is essential to protect against cyber threats and hacking, ensuring both the reliability of energy supply and compliance with regulatory standards.

After demonstrating the advantages of PV oversizing or overdimensioning and investigating the key factors for success, we now explore the key strategies for making the most of the available solar energy, focusing on the critical roles of the inverter, battery storage, and intelligent energy management. The ultimate goal is to help homeowners achieve greater self-consumption and returns on their solar investment.

Maximizing the cost efficiency of a PV installation is crucial. Homeowners want to recover their investment as quickly as possible. For installers it’s an important argument to win over customers for solar. In this three-part series, we’ll delve into the advantages of PV oversizing or overdimensioning of residential PV installations and focus on the considerations that installers have to take into account.

In the first article of this blog series, we talked about the advantages of PV oversizing or overdimensioning. However, success hinges on key factors like quality inverters, string configuration, and diligent monitoring. In this article, we explore these critical considerations empowering installers to optimize PV systems effectively.

In this guide, we'll walk you through the process step by step.

One of the fastest growing job markets, working in the renewables industry is good for you and the planet. Increasingly, people are turning to a career in solar energy at various stages of their professional lives. But is everyone suited to solar? We speak to Danielle Budd, SMA UK’s Logistics Coordinator. Danielle joined SMA at the beginning of her career in solar energy – now after three years with SMA, find out how she finds working in the renewables sector and what she’s learning from the team.

Young people are key to the planet reaching its sustainability goals. So what could be better than installing solar panels on school rooftops? Schoolchildren can understand the technology involved; watch the installation of the equipment; and monitor the results. And, of course, the schools can reduce their carbon footprint.

SMA technology has helped Hibernia Steel achieve three major benefits. The company has achieved 40% energy self-sufficiency; cut its annual energy bill by 10,000 EUR; and reduced its CO2 emissions by 50 tonnes per year.
