The application of E-series waterproof connectors in the solar industry is becoming increasingly widespread
This year, the 2021 Leaders Climate Summit, attended by leaders from 40 countries and international organizations, was successfully held in a virtual format, immediately drawing global attention to climate and the environment. During this summit, China proposed the "dual carbon" goals of achieving carbon peaking before 2030 and carbon neutrality before 2060.
Against this backdrop, solar photovoltaic industry, as the "top general" in the renewable energy sector, is also about to usher in its "spotlight moment," with the entire industry scale poised for explosive growth. The International Energy Agency predicts that photovoltaic power generation could supply 11% of global electricity by 2050. This is a considerable figure.
A solar photovoltaic system primarily consists of solar cell panels, solar controllers, batteries (or battery packs), inverters, and other components. The solar cell panels convert solar energy into electrical energy, which is stored in the batteries and converted into AC power for users through inverters. The entire process is monitored and intelligently controlled by the solar controller in real-time.
In solar photovoltaic systems, connectors are used in multiple scenarios. For instance, connectors are required for power transmission during charging or discharging. The solar controller, serving as the "central system" for the normal operation of solar photovoltaic devices, also uses connectors for control signal transmission.
Due to the unique working environment of solar photovoltaic systems, the requirements for each hardware component within the system are more stringent. Photovoltaic power generation devices are often located outdoors, even in harsh and remote environments. Weather conditions such as wind, rain, sunshine, and frost pose significant challenges to the reliability and safety of photovoltaic power generation systems. In such cases, connectors must meet requirements for waterproofing, dustproofing, resistance to high and low temperature shocks, shock resistance, and anti-loosening.
Shenzhen Zhengcheng Electric, as a veteran enterprise in industrial waterproof products, has successfully applied multiple products in solar photovoltaic devices. For example, the E10 and E13 connectors are used by some overseas users as power connectors on the charging or discharging ports of the power storage panel within solar photovoltaic systems. They play a role in transmitting electrical energy generated by solar power to batteries and outputting electrical energy from batteries to users.
The industrial connectors E10 and E13 used in solar photovoltaic systems are built to industrial standards. They feature welded wiring and IP67 waterproof technology, fully meeting the requirements of solar photovoltaic systems for connectors in outdoor conditions, including waterproofing, dustproofing, resistance to high and low temperature shocks, shock resistance, and anti-loosening. With a rated current of 20A and a working voltage of AC500V, they can satisfy the electrical technical requirements for power transmission in solar photovoltaic systems.
In the global context of carbon reduction and energy conservation, renewable energy application industries, represented by solar photovoltaic power generation, have become new strategic industries worldwide and are experiencing exponential growth due to policy incentives.
As a veteran enterprise in the industrial connector industry, Shenzhen Zhengcheng Electric has become a trustworthy partner in the solar photovoltaic power generation industry through years of continuous deep diving and technological innovation in the field of industrial connectors.
