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.
The European Union’s Solar Energy Strategy is part of its REPowerEU initiative to reduce dependence on oil and gas. The goal is for 320 GW of solar photovoltaic to be newly installed and online by 2025, rising to 600 GW by 2030.
That’s a lot of new capacity, requiring the installation of thousands of modules and inverters and many kilometres of cabling. It is a huge task at a time when skilled people to do the work are in short supply.
