What will be possible with Next Level Energy?
Defining a path to sustainability
In an era defined by environmental challenges and the imperative for sustainable solutions, the concept of Next Level Energy emerges as a beacon of hope for a brighter future. As we strive to meet the demands of a growing population while mitigating climate change, the transition to large-scale renewable energy represents a pivotal step towards sustainability.
But what exactly does Next Level Energy entail, and how can it revolutionise our approach to power generation and consumption?
What is Next Level Energy?
Next Level Energy embodies the evolution of renewable energy technologies and their integration into mainstream power systems. It encompasses advanced solutions such as solar photovoltaics, wind turbines, hydropower, and emerging technologies like tidal and geothermal energy. Unlike traditional fossil fuels, Next Level Energy sources are abundant, clean, and infinitely renewable, offering a sustainable alternative to conventional power generation methods.
Empowering communities and cities
One of the most promising aspects of Next Level Energy is its potential to power entire communities and cities sustainably. By harnessing the power of renewable resources, urban centres can reduce their dependence on fossil fuels, lower carbon emissions, and enhance energy security. Rooftop solar installations, wind farms, and decentralised microgrids enable communities to generate their own clean energy, fostering resilience and self-sufficiency.
At SMA, we are at the forefront of this transition, providing innovative solutions that empower communities to embrace Next Level Energy. Through our commitment to sustainability and high environmental standards, we ensure our products contribute to a greener, more sustainable future.
Facilitating industrial decarbonisation
In addition to powering cities and transportation, Next Level Energy has the potential to drive industrial decarbonisation. Industries such as manufacturing, mining, and agriculture account for a significant portion of global carbon emissions.
By transitioning to renewable energy sources for their operations, industries can significantly reduce their environmental footprint while enhancing operational efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
Facilitating industrial decarbonisation
In our journey towards Next Level Energy, sustainable production takes centre stage, highlighting the importance of eco-friendly manufacturing and green industrial practices. Factories of the future are pivotal in this transition, serving as innovation hubs focused on efficiency and environmental stewardship.
These cutting-edge facilities integrate renewable energy, circular economy principles, and collaborative supply chains, prioritising employee well-being and leveraging advanced technologies to drive innovation while minimising environmental impact.
Sustainability at SMA: A commitment to excellence
For over 40 years, SMA solutions have been contributing to a sustainable, secure and cost-efficient energy supply worldwide. Right from the very beginning, we have been firmly convinced that it is not enough to simply develop innovative technologies for climate-friendly power generation, storage and use. It is equally important that our solutions are produced in accordance with high environmental, social and governance standards.
In 2024, SMA achieved significant milestones in sustainability, earning a place among the Global 100 most sustainable companies published by Corporate Knights. This prestigious ranking, unveiled at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, saw SMA securing the 10th position out of over 6,000 large companies globally, emerging as the number one company in our industry. This recognition underscores our unwavering commitment to environmental stewardship and responsible business practices.
Part of our sustainability efforts includes the doubling of our large-scale production capacity to 40 GW by 2025, facilitated by the construction of a state-of-the-art gigawatt factory. Built in line with comprehensive sustainability criteria, this new facility not only ensures a steady supply of products but also reinforces our dedication to operational excellence and environmental responsibility.
At SMA, sustainability is ingrained in everything we do. From stringent environmental standards in product development to responsible manufacturing processes, we uphold the highest levels of environmental integrity. Our actions align closely with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), reflecting our commitment to creating a better, more sustainable future for all.
By prioritising SDG Goal 7, ‘Affordable and clean energy’, SMA plays a crucial role in propelling the global transition to Next Level Energy, fostering a more sustainable future for all.
Empowering individuals to make a difference
While SMA is well placed to play a crucial role in driving the transition to Next Level Energy, individuals also have the power to make a positive difference. By embracing renewable energy solutions in their homes, workplaces, and communities, individuals can contribute to reducing carbon emissions and promoting sustainability on a grassroots level. Whether through rooftop solar installations, energy-efficient appliances, or sustainable transportation choices, every action towards Next Level Energy counts towards creating a cleaner, greener planet for future generations.
Embracing the promise of Next Level Energy
Next Level Energy represents a transformative pathway towards a more sustainable future. Through innovations in renewable energy technologies, such as solar, wind, and e-mobility, we have the opportunity to power cities, transportation, and industries sustainably while reducing our environmental footprint.
