Solutions for solar park management

Operating large PV systems requires continuous monitoring and control on the segment level. Reliable monitoring solutions keep you informed of the state of your photovoltaic system at all times, allowing you to respond immediately to ensure maximum yield. Learn more about the solutions from Phoenix Contact that enable you to constantly collect, visualize, and evaluate data from your solar park.

Solutions for rooftop systems

However, the effects of lightning strikes and surge voltages can cause considerable damage to the photovoltaic system. A surge protection concept is therefore of paramount importance for the trouble-free operation of PV rooftop systems. The concept should include the protection of the inverter, the PV panels, and, in PV rooftop systems with an external lightning protection system, the building itself. Furthermore, the surge protection must meet the normative requirements.

In response to these challenges, we provide reliable string combiner boxes with preassembled system solutions. Find out what is important when selecting the string combiner box and gain an overview of our product portfolio for your rooftop PV systems.

Solar panels in a dry environment

Solutions for hybrid energy systems

Around 1.2 billion people worldwide have no access to electricity. As a result, diesel generators are used in many locations to produce the necessary, independent source of energy. However, the price of the fuel for diesel generators is constantly rising. The use of hybrid photovoltaic systems not only reduces the financial burden, it also sustainably lowers carbon emissions. In rural regions without a local power grid and in developing and emerging countries, hybrid photovoltaic systems are a cost-efficient and environmentally friendly alternative for generating electricity. The power generation units, accumulator, and inverter and the devices required for control and regulation must also be able to withstand the harsh ambient conditions. The solutions and components from Phoenix Contact meet these requirements ideally.
