Enecsys opts for Wieland connectors in solar AC systems
Enecsys has selected Wieland gesis RST 25i3/i5 connectors for connecting its solar micro-inverters to the electricity grid system on the AC side of photovoltaic (PV) installations. The pre-wired, ‘plug and play' Wieland connectors are factory tested and offer higher reliability and faster installation compared to onsite wiring.
Traditionally, PV solar panels are connected in a string feeding into a string or central inverter that then converts DC power to AC power for export to the electricity grid. However, this configuration introduces inherent inefficiencies and fails to harvest the maximum power from each PV panel.
Use of Enecsys micro-inverters on each PV panel overcomes this ‘domino effect' and eliminates the need for a string or central inverter. Instead, each micro-inverter is connected to a distribution block using Wieland pre-wired plugs and sockets, so that installation time is greatly reduced.
