Recently, Gregor was in India when SMA Solar Technology AG, a German multinational inverter company with 40 years of legacy in this space (and maker of Solar PV Inverters, Energy Storage, and Power Electronics) switched on a Global Competence Center in Bengaluru, Karnataka. Here are some sparks from an interview with her.
Why is SMA investing in a new office in Bangalore now?
The inauguration of the Competence Centre marks a significant milestone in SMA's history in India which started 13 years ago with the opening of the SMA
India subsidiary in Mumbai 2010. Bangalore, known as the Silicon Valley of India, provides an innovative and diverse environment, making it an ideal location for SMA's Competence Centre.

SMA aims to contribute to the global expansion of renewable energies, particularly in grid stability, from this Centre. This service is an important part of SMA's large portfolio.
