Stringing up a success story

India-based Navalakha Translines chose Growatt’s string inverters for its 6 MW ground mounted plant in the Osmanabad district of Maharashtra in 2012, at a time when prices of string inverters were prohibitive for ground mounted solar PV plants. But the decision paid off, as the inverters with smart cooling are a great fit for the uneven terrain witnessing temperatures as high as 45 degrees Celsius.

Why Obtain Third Party Testing and Certification on Data Cables

Increase in data demand has meant a far greater emphasis on cable design to reduce or eliminate the undesirable effects of electromagnetic interference (EMI). Pair geometry, choice of dielectric and shielding are all design considerations when manufacturers are looking to negate the impact.

Commercial & Industrial PV Adopts 1500V High-Power Solutions. What Do the Cost Savings Look Like?

For a long time, distributed solar PV plants have been an important part of the clean energy mix. Most solar projects are 1100V and 1000V, but with the adjustment of policies across the globe, grid parity, cost reduction and efficiency increase have become the primary considerations of developers of distributed power stations. Under this new green power ecology, the 1500V system is gradually becoming the mainstream in large-scale projects such as ground power stations.

India Still Nowhere Near to Its Quality Energy Requirements

Primary determinants of power quality are frequency of voltage spikes or interruptions. Poor quality of power not only affects the quality of life and comfort, but on a larger and considerable scale results in loss of industrial and commercial productivity. The large gap between demand and supply of power is the root cause of the subtly worsening power quality across India.

Imperative to have sustainable and efficient technology for solar pumps

Given that most of the pumps are dependent on electricity for their functioning, it becomes a challenge in off-grid areas. Thus, solar-powered pumps have emerged as a sustainable solution to enable farmers to operate hassle-free without any dependency on the grid.

Benefits of Modular Design - A Future-Proof Solution for EV Charging Stations

Given that many technologies eventually become obsolete, there is considerable risk when investing in EV chargers because the capital costs are so high. The problems faced by EV charging stations are not only complex, but they’re extremely expensive. This is complicated by the fact a truly viable business model is yet to be established for EV charging stations.
