Belden has delivered a solution for photovoltaic power plants that meets the highest requirements for SMA Solar Technology.

SMA Solar Technology is a specialist in high-efficiency photovoltaic system technologies and solar inverters for a variety of applications, power ranges, module types and plant requirements. Specialising in energy management systems, the company provides innovative technologies for future energy supply structures.

Belden’s modular industrial patch panel (MIPP) forms an integral part of the solutions used by SMA for photovoltaic power plants, characterised by maximum economy and efficiency. The MIPP was able to meet SMA’s high demands in terms of robustness, ease of use and versatility. In addition, the patch panel provides an excellent price-performance ratio, fast delivery times and global availability.

Key benefits

The MIPP has a robust industrial housing, narrow design and provides the possibility to meet potential new requirements of an installation through simple swapping of the modules, so that flexible and economic PV power plants can be realised. The MIPP offers the following benefits:

• Flexibility: Communication infrastructure can be changed quickly at any time.

• Cost reduction: Installation and commissioning require less time.

• Reliability: Network services are continuously available.

• Profitability: Service quality and service times are improved and shortened.

• Access to new markets: Special approvals and conformity enables worldwide use.

The Belden MIPP has the benefit of a compact design, yet it offers one solution for structured management of fibre or copper-based communication and control cables that connect the individual mirrors to a string. The MIPP’s versatility facilitates possible changes or extensions of the communication network within solar parks and brings down costs.

The Belden MIPP is constructed of lightweight, high-strength aluminium in order to protect the cabling connections under the harshest industrial conditions. The products’ rugged design and UL 1863 certification delivers peace of mind to network engineers and system installers in environments, like power transmission and distribution, transportation, alternative power generation, machine building and automation.

In a world moving toward interoperability, visibility is vital to operators as they face increasing demands to receive, analyse and share data. Belden’s industrial connectivity solutions address these needs head on. With more connected machines, increasing data volumes and productivity demands at an all-time high, customers in challenging environments can count on Belden cable, Lumberg automation and Hirschmann industrial connectors for a complete communications infrastructure designed to last. Belden’s customised systems provide robust performance and reliability for a wide range of industrial automation applications.
