Source text - German Solarstrom erzeugen und optimal verbrauchen
Werden Sie Ihr eigener
grüner Stromversorger
Mit dem neuen SMA Energy System Home können Sie Ihre Energiekosten sofort und dauerhaft deutlich senken. Nutzen Sie dazu die unendliche Kraft der Sonne, um kostenlosen und umweltfreundlichen Solarstrom zu erzeugen. So gewinnen Sie Unabhängigkeit von Stromversorgern und müssen sich über steigende Energiepreise keine Gedanken mehr machen.
Vom Stromverbraucher zum eigenen grünen Stromversorger
Den eigenen Strom erzeugen und selbst verbrauchen ist besser als kaufen. Daher sind Energiesysteme von SMA darauf spezialisiert, den erzeugten Solarstrom optimal im ganzen Haus zu nutzen. Da die Energie nicht immer sinnvoll verbraucht werden kann, speisen unsere Systeme unverbrauchten Strom ins Netz ein. Sie erhalten dafür eine Einspeisevergütung.
In Zukunft werden Sie den Solarstrom auch frei vermarkten können. Mit dem SMA Energy System Home haben Sie die technischen Voraussetzungen für den Energiemarkt der Zukunft.
Vorteile
Bis zu 30% weniger Energiekosten
Schutz vor steigenden Energiepreisen
Persönlicher Beitrag zu Klimaschutz und Ressourcenschonung
Zusätzliche Einnahmen durch Einspeisung

Translation - English Generate solar power and optimise consumption
Become your own
green electricity supplier
You can significantly reduce your energy costs immediately on a lasting basis with the new SMA Energy System Home. Use the infinite power of the sun to generate free, environmentally friendly solar electricity. This will allow you to gain independence from electricity suppliers, meaning you will no longer need to worry about increases in energy prices.
From an electricity consumer to your own green electricity provider
Producing and consuming your own electricity is better than paying for it. That is why SMA energy systems focus on making optimum use of generated solar power throughout your home. As energy cannot be consumed in a beneficial way all the time, our systems feed unused electricity into the grid. You will receive a feed-in tariff payment in exchange.
In the future, you will also be able to market solar electricity freely. With SMA Energy System Home, you will already meet the technical requirements for the future energy market.
Benefits
Up to 30% fewer energy costs
Protection against increasing energy prices
Personal contribution to climate protection and resource conservation
Additional earnings from feed-in
Components
Solar power system
Optimally adapted to the installation location, your requirements and your power needs
Sunny Tripower or Sunny Boy
SMA power inverter which transforms solar power (DC) into usable alternating current
SMA ShadeFix
Software-based shade management integrated into the power inverter for systems with slight to medium shade
SMA Monitoring (optional)
Monitor energy flows and visualise your SMA Energy System Home on the Sunny Places web portal and, shortly, on an app
SMA Smart Connected
Automatically monitors your power inverter and initiates fault repair immediately as required

I am a highly experienced British-born translator, working in the language combinations German to English and Spanish to English. I mainly translate technical texts, manuals and marketing material for consumer products, but also have considerable experience with general business, construction, sustainability, tourism, cooking and service contracts. I have particular expertise in security technologies, pedelecs/bicycles, safety and renewable energies.
Studied BSc (Hons) Modern Languages (German and French) at the University of Aston, in Birmingham, UK, including a study year at the Freie Universität Berlin.
Lived in Spain almost continuously since 1988 - sixteen years in Madrid and ten years in Barcelona. Have also spent some time in Berlin during this period, where I have lived a total of two and half years.
Carried out three years' university research into media (television and written journalism) on completion of language degree.
Client comment: "The translation was excellent. Our Communication Manager commented: "It was a real treat to enjoy this translation." It would be great if he could do all translations of this kind."
