Every month, a jury selected by experts in the photovoltaic sector indicates solutions with technological highlights on the market with the aim of highlighting the best products. Among the innovative equipment is the String Box PV Next, from the Weidmüller.
According to the evaluation committee, conventional string boxes are known to be a common cause of failures in photovoltaic systems, generally due to the high number of direct current connections that are required.
According to experts, by considering the concept of connections via PCI (Printed Circuit Board) in its construction, the PV Next reduces in until 50% O number in connections, not to mention the use of spring connectors without the need for torque for installation.
Farid Samara, a mechanical engineer with five years of experience in wind energy generation and project management, highlighted that the manufacturer's solution offers flexibility and security for inverters and modules at the time of installation.
PV Next thus avoids cable agglomeration, improving thermal dissipation, reducing material consumption and eliminating connection errors and poorly executed crimps, which can condemn projects and pose major risks.
In addition to such mentions, the product – which received the highlight “Highly Commended” by PV Magazine Global – has a safe design for action in cases of lightning strikes, facilitating maintenance by system installers and operators.
According to Weidmüller, the solutions meet all the necessary standards for the photovoltaic market. Discover some models at link.
More about the evaluation committee
Farid Samara helped operators and companies reduce maintenance costs and increase the operational life of equipment. He is currently an engineer at DNV, a consultancy company that aims to increase the performance of solar projects.
Cherif Kedir, CEO and president of RETC (Renewable Energy Test Center), a provider of engineering and certification testing services for photovoltaics and renewable energy, also participated in the committee. The executive is a solar energy industry veteran with more than 13 years of experience in product development.
