As demand for utility-scale solar and energy storage continues to accelerate across North America, SMA is investing in the leadership and market\u00a0expertise\u00a0needed to support its next phase of growth.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The company is strengthening its\u00a0Large Scale\u00a0sales organization with the promotion of three experienced leaders to Regional Director roles while expanding its sales team to support increasing customer demand and market opportunities.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
