SMA and Create Energy announced they will work together to manufacture both the Sunny Highpower PEAK3 and the fully-integrated PowerSkid solution in the United States. The two companies signed an MOU to start manufacturing inverters at Create Energy’s facility in Portland, Tennessee, starting in Q1 2026.
SMA’s PEAK3 line of string inverters offers high-performance, scalable solutions for large-scale PV systems. The new PowerSkid will feature a maximum performance of more than 2 MW per block and is engineered for utility-scale performance with a turnkey solution. This will be the first inverter SMA has manufactured in the United States in more than a decade.
“This collaboration underscores SMA’s long-term commitment to the U.S. market,” said Jay Arghestani, managing director of large-scale sales, technology and marketing for SMA America. “We are proud to join forces with a company that shares our vision for a sustainable energy future and understands the importance of smart, scalable solutions for the U.S. market.”
The MOU also outlines plans for joint sales and business development activities for the two companies.
