Medium voltage products for solar

Customer challenges

The past decade has seen rapid growth in photovoltaic (PV) capacity, and the trend is set to continue. Nevertheless, the solar industry is facing challenges that it will need to overcome, such as competing with the low cost of fossil fuels and increasingly also with other renewable energy sources, diminishing government subsidies and integrating solar power into the existing power grid. High efficiency, high flexibility and high reliability of solar PV solutions is therefore essential.
