SMA's Stunning Net-Zero Solar Academy Opens in Germany

SMA is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of inverters for photovoltaic systems, so they stepped up to the challenge of building a world-class solar-powered training facility in Niestetal, Germany. The resulting Solar Training Center is an inspired integrated solar design that packs an extraordinary photovoltaic wall and a zero-energy footprint into a clean contemporary form. HHS Architekten’s design is actually completely self-sufficient with no grid support, making it a perfect model for demonstrating the viability of large-scale independent buildings and green building design.
