SMA Solar Technology AG, the worldwide market and technological leader for photovoltaic inverters, commissioned Milla & Partner to design a family of interactive exhibits for the foyer of their newly opened headquarter in Niestetal, Germany. Following the motto “Energy that changes”, the exhibits vividly demonstrate SMA´s history and technological activity in the past 30 years. Depending on individual interest and time budget, each visitor can choose the required level of information: It is possible to get a quick overview or to experience details and background information on selected subjects. The exhibits enable co-workers, customers and other visitors to surf through a network of ideas, scroll through a medially charged photo album, navigate along a time bar through the history of solar energy or actually experience how a photovoltaic inverter works. The design of the exhibits reflects the architecture of the building itself. They are highly flexible concerning structure and content, and can easily be extended and updated.
