Boris Wolff, Executive Vice President Global Sales, Service & Marketing, attended the event from the SMA Solar Technology headquarters in Germany. Wolff stressed the importance of the U.S. market and his confidence in the continued growth of the industry in the Americas region.<\/p>\n

The new building has on-site monitoring labs that allow our team to elevate service and solve problems quickly.\u201d<\/p>\n

The building, located at 3925 Atherton Road in Rocklin, is named the \u201cSunny Center.\u201d The company conducted a crowdsourcing campaign among employees to come up with the name.
