Windows Logo testing
During the installation process of an SMA Windows driver, Windows will warn you that
the software you are installing has not passed the Windows Logo testing.
This warning is displayed when third-party drivers are installed. It indicates that the

Labs (WHQL)".
SMA Solar Technology AG has tested and approved the driver's functionality. You can
ignore the recommendation from Microsoft to abort the installation and proceed with the
