SMA Solar Technology AG's mission is to increase the availability and use of photovoltaics. SMA is the world's largest manufacturer of PV inverters and an exceptional employer. SMA provides premium products for PV projects in the triple-digit megawatt range across the globe.

A range of well-known global innovators and manufacturers are based in the Kassel region, including SMA, a leading manufacturer of solar systems. Kassel is also a centre of German railway locomotive production and is home to VW's second-largest factory. Given its excellent geographical position, the Kassel region has developed into an important centre for transport and logistics services during the last few years. Kassel is reachable by road from the Ruhr (Dortmund, Düsseldorf etc.) and Rhine-Main (Frankfurt) metropolitan regions, from Hanover and Leipzig within 2 hours, using the A4, A5, A7, A38 and A44 motorways. High-speed trains (ICE) stop at Kassel-Wilhelmshöhe, thereby linking Kassel with almost every major German city. Kassel-Calden Airport is located just 20 minutes from Kassel city centre and is linked to the A7, A44 and A49 motorways.
