**Kyocera SMA inverters** became part of a broader solar-system offering when Kyocera
Solar joined SMA America’s authorized distributor network.

## Kyocera Added SMA Inverters to Its Solar Portfolio

Scottsdale, AZ – June 19, 2013 – Kyocera Solar Inc. announced its selection by SMA
America as a distributor of SMA’s industry-leading residential and commercial power
inverters, a key component of photovoltaic (PV) solar solutions. SMA’s inverters
feature intelligent design that instantly converts the PV system’s DC power into
AC for use by the owner or for feeding into a power distribution grid, with ongoing
performance monitoring tools.

With a wide range of products for all system sizes, SMA inverters integrate easily
with a broad variety of Kyocera’s residential and commercial solar systems.

“With the rollout of our new Authorized Distributor program, it was critical that
SMA partner with leaders in the industry that were capable of providing world-class
technology and expert service,” said Henry Dziuba, president and general manager
of SMA America. “Kyocera is known as an industry pioneer and has been providing 
the [solar community](https://greenlivingguy.com/2016/03/enercore-currently-offering-solar-garden-to-supply-residents-with-clean-energy-in-foxborough-and-hopkinton-massachusetts/)
with reliable, high-value solutions for many years. It was a natural fit.”

Kyocera is now distributing SMA’s newest products such as the Sunny Boy 3000TL-US/
4000TL-US/5000TL-US transformerless residential inverter, and the Sunny TripowerTL-
US — a 1,000 V DC, UL listed three-phase transformerless commercial inverter.

“The inverter is a crucial component of any PV solar solution, taking the [solar power](https://greenlivingguy.com/2021/05/3-top-benefits-of-solar-power/)
that our reliable, high-quality panels harness and converting it into usable energy

said Steve Hill, president, Kyocera Solar Inc. “Kyocera has the highest standards
for its solar solutions and our customers have enjoyed industry-leading results 
for almost four decades. Utilizing SMA inverters is part of our ongoing commitment
to providing the utmost quality solar products and services.”

## Inverters Are Central to Solar System Performance

Solar panels produce direct-current electricity. Inverters convert that power into
alternating current for homes, businesses and the grid while also supporting monitoring
and system controls.
