Utility-scale solar power

Simplify grid connectivity while meeting sustainability and regulatory requirements with help from our product, service and support teams. 

Comply with energy regulations while ensuring grid stability

Providing safe, reliable and affordable energy is no longer enough. Now utilities must navigate changing regulations to design and update systems to meet mandated distributed energy sources (DER) integration goals, as well as support economic development and job creation initiatives. The challenges that come with the changing power landscape are putting a strain on the current utility business model. But as the global shift towards the use of distributed energy resources moves forward, solar has become more cost-competitive and offers significant benefits for utilities to decarbonise and better manage bi-directional energy flow. 

Optimising utility-scale solar operations today and for the future

Grid connectivity, energy storage requirements and the need for more robust cybersecurity measures mean that utility-scale solar projects are becoming more complex. With more than 100 years of power management expertise, we can help you to navigate changes in regulations to future-proof your grid infrastructure, maximise your uptime and energy production, and optimise energy storage all while protecting your investment, people and the environment. From AC recombiners and medium-voltage transformers to grid-connection switchgear and cable management systems, we provide a complete balance-of-electrical-system solution from panel to grid.

Seamless eBoP solutions – the key to more reliable, more productive and better optimised utility-scale solar PV projects

By 2050, solar PV will contribute almost three times the energy supplied by gas-fired generation, or more than both onshore and offshore wind power combined. Using eBoP components from one trusted, reliable source can help to ensure these assets achieve highest levels of output and minimise downtime due to faults, delivering competitive solar power.
