SMA Solar Technology AG Presented its Third Capital Markets Day for
International Investors and Analysts

Niestetal, Germany, September 15, 2011 - Today, SMA Solar Technology AG
(SMA/FWB: S92) invited visitors to Niestetal for the company's third
Capital Markets Day. Around 50 investors and analysts from Germany and
abroad took the opportunity to learn more about current developments at SMA
at the company's headquarters.

Pierre-Pascal Urbon, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of
SMA, presented the successful business model. The focus was on the
company's high technological capabilities, its international presence and
the company's high profitability. In addition, Urbon presented current
developments in the photovoltaic market.

One of the most important topics of the future in the energy supply sector
is the integration of ever-increasing quantities of electricity from
renewable sources into the power distribution grid. SMA Chief Technology
Officer Roland Grebe provided an overview of current SMA product
developments and presented concepts for the central issues of grid
integration and self-consumption. In addition, visitors to the SMA Capital
Markets Day got plenty of opportunity to learn more about the latest
product developments and concepts at the SMA Marktplatz (Marketplace) in
the Solar Academy.

SMA is also further expanding its service competence in order to meet
future demands on the solar industry. Participants of the Capital Market
Day toured the construction site of the world's largest service center for
PV inverters. Starting in spring 2012, SMA will be bundling its service
activities in the building, with the aim of further enhancing the range of
services it offers to customers around the globe.

The Capital Markets Day ended with a tour of the world's largest and
carbon-neutral inverter production facility.

The Capital Markets Day presentation is available on our website
