A Type 1+2+3 combined arrester sits inside the ready-to-connect Surgebox TN-S Compact, protecting wallboxes, heat pumps and PV connections against transient overvoltages on TN-S networks.
The Roofsupport cable tray routes cable between solar modules and inverters, distributed through Krannich Solar across the DACH region for both residential and commercial installations.
The pre-wired unit brings full backup and energy management to existing buildings without reworking the sub-distribution board, and is aimed at installers retrofitting wallboxes, heat pumps and storage.
Farmers rarely have time to master permits, mapping and grid procedures alongside the day job. Developers such as Hamburg-based Metavolt now handle the entire journey, from initial idea to completed installation.
Q3 Energie introduces surge protection for TN-S networks. Meteocontrol launches Bluelog Neo for complex energy systems. Weidmüller's Crimp Counter tracks tool usage via NFC, and Wi Solar unveils a gabion wall clamping system.
Wi Solar, Karl Ditandy and Alutecta developed the design together, using slotted holes on both axes to cope with the dimensional tolerances common in gabion construction up to 12 metres.
Every crimping operation is logged automatically, with an integrated NFC interface making the data accessible via smartphone and an LED signalling maintenance status.
The new platform handles control, monitoring and energy management for solar, battery storage and hybrid plants, and is aimed at asset operators and O&M service providers.
Baywa r.e. Solar Trade has overhauled the start page of its web-based PV planning tool, adding Kanban boards, custom project statuses and expanded management features for specialist contractors.
A new interface enables PV*Sol premium to import LiDAR-based 3D models of German buildings automatically, pulling in every structure within a 100 metre radius of the target location.
A new three-phase hybrid inverter range integrating energy management, storage and backup functions will make its live debut at SMA's Intersolar stand as the exhibition opens on 23 June.
Berlin-based Valentin Software is presenting updates to its PV-Sol Premium and Geot-Sol, including a new interface to data provider Rexplorer and expanded support for heat pump and solar thermal planning.
At The smarter E Europe 2026, Solarfox is showcasing Nano, a 7.5-inch e-ink display that shows residential solar data directly in the home while giving installers an always-visible customer-facing tool.
Commissioned by Canadian renewables producer Boralex, the study examines how changing climate conditions could affect long term energy yield across 76 solar and wind sites.
Produced from UV-resistant nylon 612, the new PLT4S-M6120 cable ties are designed for outdoor PV installations, combining resistance to sunlight, acid rain and chemical corrosion with a 20-year service life.
Solar-Planit adds string planning and façade options. A new Panelgitter provides pigeon protection for solar installations. PMT secures general building approval for a green roof mounting system, while Fischer presents a new façade clip system. These are this week’s new products.
The latest update to the widely used planning software adds individual string design and new façade options for concrete and masonry, supporting in-tool drawing, editing and export of strings.
The new Solar 4me app from Kostal will replace the current Solar App. The initial version is aimed at end users, with installer features planned for next year.
The UK’s National Fire Chiefs Council has updated its guidance for grid-scale battery storage, introducing a more detailed risk-based framework that covers site design, emergency response and system operation.
The Energy Management Assistant, or EMMA, within Huawei’s FusionSolar platform is being renamed Smart Assistant SA4h-A02, while system architecture and compatibility with existing installations remain unchanged.
K2 Systems presents its Insertionrail for trapezoidal roofs, Wichmann introduces a fire protection channel for rooftop solar cables, while Kiwigrid and Autarc unveil new software tools for energy management and PV planning – this week‘s top products.
