SMA America announced it will begin assembling its Medium Voltage Power Station (MVPS) solutions in the United States in 2026, in an effort to strengthen the company’s logistical network and enhance service to utility-scale solar customers across the country. The inverter will still be manufactured in Germany and then shipped to the U.S., where it will be integrated with the transformer and skid to create the final system before it’s sent to the customer.
The MVPS is a fully integrated, turnkey solution that combines SMA central inverters, medium-voltage transformers, and switchgear in a 20-foot skidded container. Designed for large-scale solar and storage projects, it ensures efficient, grid-compliant energy conversion with minimal on-site installation effort.
“This is a critical step forward for SMA America and for our customers,” said Jay Arghestani, managing director of large-scale sales, technology and marketing for SMA America. “Domestic integration helps shorten project timelines, reduce shipping complexities and may contribute to domestic content strategies under the Inflation Reduction Act, depending on how customers structure their solutions.”
SMA plans to begin assembling the MVPS in the U.S. in Q1 2026, with broader phased availability to customers in Q2 2026. The share of local content will be increased step-by-step during the ramp-up of local capacity.
