solar digest for the latest solar industry news 
Harvesting energy from the sun using photovoltaic is getting more and more popular all over the world. Due to the price decrease for PV-modules, this renewable energy will become profitable for residential and industrial buildings soon – even without getting subsidies.
With the new DC/DC converter from Phoenix Contact's Uno Power product range, the control cabinet is supplied directly from the photovoltaic system. This saves installation costs and increases the efficiency of the system.
Mersen launches a brand-new innovative solution for switching 4 poles in a row in the renewables and 5-pole network markets.
Fault tolerance is a fundamental requirement for energy system networks. As an essential part of modern energy supply, photovoltaic systems play an increasingly important role in ensuring the stability of the energy network.
Solar photovoltaics (PVs) continue to be fast-growing markets especially as building owners grasp the opportunities on offer to save energy while making money by selling power back to the grid.
The Phoenix Contact Array Control switchgear and control-gear assembly helps system operators and planners to implement efficient park management for large-scale photovoltaic systems.
With the new DNO Control control cabinet, Phoenix Contact offers a flexible platform consisting of coordinated hardware and software components for controlling the energy in a photovoltaic system at the network connection point.
Phoenix Contact now offers two new innovative solutions for photovoltaic systems: the string combiner box (SCB) for 1500 V is designed for systems with system voltages up to 1500 V.
Phoenix Contact offers a pre-installed and tested solution for the acquisition of meteorological data. Several common sensors can be connected to the weather station via standard interfaces.
A brand new concept in solar PV test instrumentation combines accurate I-V curve analysis with essential electrical testing for the fast and effective commissioning, O&M and diagnostic testing of all types of solar PV installations.
