The C-parts specialist has published its 2026 photovoltaics catalogue, spanning 138 pages and covering cable management, connectors and tooling for utility-scale installations across Europe.
The quality of plug connections is critical to safety, efficiency and longevity. Even minor crimping errors can have serious consequences. Follow these tips to ensure correct installation.
Correct DC connections are critical for long-term performance and safety in solar installations. From the right choice of connectors to professional crimping tools, EMC-direct highlights the best practices to boost reliability in the field.
SMA Chief Executive Officer Jürgen Reinert was yesterday joined by Hessian Minister of Economics Tarek Al-Wazir to inaugurate the new SMA EMC Test Centre.
In the final two-part article on what happens when DC optimizers on solar modules cause EMC issues, we show one case in Switzerland where an operator and an installer were left to their own devices (no pun intended): The manufacturer of the optimizers refused to take responsibility. A text-book example of how to alienate customers and markets. Heiko Schwarzburger
Over the course of the last few days, we have presented a number of articles on what happens when the DC optimizers in solar modules produce interference signals. In our last two-parter, we show one case in Switzerland where an operator and an installer were left to their own devices (no pun intended). Heiko Schwarzburger
In Switzerland, the Federal Office of Communications (OFCOM) analyses the sources of interference frequencies. It issues warnings to the operators of the solar installations concerned - until they are forced to shut down. In Part 2 of this interview with Heiko Schwarzburger, Emmanuel de Raemy of OFCOM Switzerland will go more into the legal ramifications of what happens when DC optimizers cause interference.
