Solplanet: SMA engineering, made in China

The Solplanet brand: heritage from the former SMA China team

Solplanet is a solar equipment brand officially founded in 2019 in Shanghai by the team that previously ran the Chinese division of German inverter manufacturer SMA Solar Technology — one of the most experienced players in the inverter industry. That heritage explains why Solplanet's engineering approach targets European quality and certification standards, rather than just a low price point typical of some other Chinese manufacturers that entered the market more recently.

Range in the "Energy" category

In the "Energy" category, Solplanet is represented by three-phase hybrid inverters in the ASW series, from 5 to 30 kW, for mid- and large-scale sites, LiFePO4 storage systems across two lines (Ai-LB and ASW5120-LB), and complete all-in-one industrial solutions for sites with high power consumption. This range lets a buyer assemble a full energy system from a single manufacturer — from a country house with a three-phase connection to an industrial facility.

ASW hybrid inverters and LiFePO4 storage

Hybrid inverters in the ASW series combine solar conversion, storage charging and grid power in a single device, automatically switching between sources depending on sunlight availability and battery charge state. The line is clearly structured by power and control platform generation — from compact 5-12 kW models to more powerful 15-30 kW units built for sites with higher consumption.

Storage systems on LiFePO4 (lithium iron phosphate) chemistry are substantially safer than traditional lithium-ion batteries under overheating or mechanical damage due to their resistance to thermal runaway. Modular design and a built-in battery management module (BMS) let you grow capacity gradually and protect the system from overcharge and deep discharge without any additional configuration by the owner.

SMA heritage, industrial solutions and how to choose

The SMA technology heritage shows up in specific engineering decisions found across the whole Solplanet product line: a wider operating voltage range for solar panel input, which reduces the system's sensitivity to partial array shading or a non-standard mounting angle, and a reliable overload and short-circuit protection system built on decades of the German manufacturer's experience.

All Solplanet equipment supports remote monitoring through the brand's proprietary cloud platform, letting an owner or service company track generation, consumption and equipment status remotely, receiving alerts about any operating deviations before they grow into a visible drop in efficiency.

For industrial and commercial sites with high peak consumption, Solplanet offers a separate class of solutions — all-in-one systems rated above 100 kW, where the inverter, storage and control system are combined into a single product instead of being assembled from separate components made by different suppliers. That substantially simplifies installation, commissioning and later warranty service for large installations.

When comparing Solplanet to other leading solar equipment manufacturers, the SMA heritage is a meaningful, though not the only, argument: it's also worth comparing actual technical specs — conversion efficiency, input voltage range, storage-to-inverter compatibility — rather than just brand history or stated power output.

System expandability is a practical argument in Solplanet's favor: an owner starting with a base three-phase inverter can later add a storage system from a compatible line, and for sites with growing consumption, move up to a complete all-in-one industrial solution without changing manufacturers or breaking a unified monitoring ecosystem.

Choose Solplanet equipment matching the scale and type of your site — compare the models in the catalogue below by power, architecture and component compatibility, and put together a complete energy system with European-grade engineering at a genuinely competitive price.
