SMA API price model principles

This page provides an overview of SMA plans for API consumption

No entry barriers

  • Cost-free trial on SMA Sandbox environment

  • No setup fee for your client (application) access credentials


B2B Plans

  • Please understand that SMA API plans are B2B prices for our application partners, which may embed our fees in their solution bundles.

  • Therefore your fee might differ due to additional cost of our partners (e.g. for collection & settlement).

  • As SMA system owner, you may only directly contract with SMA if you are in control of the connected 3rd party application.

Billing

  • Environmentally friendly - The invoice is only sent by email.

  • Minimized additional costs - As soon as the invoice amount exceeds 1000 €/$, it is issued at the end of the current quarter, otherwise at the end of the year.

SMA Monitoring, SMA GridControl and SMA SmartHome-API

  • Regret-free usage:
    No standing fees in case of non-usage: 100% usage based fee for consumed systems in any given month

  • Flat-fee per system for meaningful consumption & kW-factor model to prevent system-capacity cost-jumps

  • SMA Monitoring API provides a “foundation” for most application use-cases.
    Our modular API portfolio offers you to select further SMA APIs to enhance the functional scope of your application
