Voltage Energy Achieves Historic 2kV EBOS Certification, Transforming Solar Energy Sector
Voltage Energy Achieves Historic 2kV EBOS Certification
In a monumental development for the solar energy sector, Voltage Energy Group has been awarded the first-ever full-system certification for a 2kV Electrical Balance of System (EBOS) solution from UL Solutions. This accreditation marks a significant milestone in the push for increased energy efficiency and reliability in utility-scale solar installations.
Breaking New Ground with 2kV Technology
As the industry moves from traditional 1,500 VDC systems to more advanced 2kV designs, Voltage Energy’s new certification represents a leap forward. The certification encompasses several of the company's flagship products, including the LYNX®, IBEX®, IBEX PLUS®, and ALEX® series, all of which have successfully completed rigorous testing to meet UL 9703 standards. With rising demands for higher efficiency in solar systems, this certification affirms Voltage Energy’s commitment to innovation in renewable energy.
The shift to 2kV technology is anticipated to enhance energy yields while simultaneously lowering capital expenditures (CAPEX) for solar projects. By extending the profitability of such projects, Voltage Energy positions itself as a frontrunner in the ever-evolving solar landscape.
Industry Perspective on the Certification
Angel Lopez, the Director of Quality at Voltage Energy, expressed pride in achieving this certification, which he believes highlights the company’s dedication to pushing the boundaries of next-generation photovoltaic designs. He explained that progressing to a 2kV system is not merely about upgrading components; it demands synchronization across the entire value chain. All parts, from modules to inverters and EBOS, must work harmoniously while adhering to unified standards that minimize deployment variability.
Evan Xiao, UL Solutions' Asian regional GM, also voiced support for this innovation, emphasizing the critical need for standardized system validation and consistent installation practices to scale the 2kV ecosystem. Voltage Energy’s newly acquired certification not only enhances their credibility but also offers a reliable reference for EPCs and developers as they navigate the challenges of adopting 2kV projects.
Future Contributions to the Solar Industry
With the certification in hand, Voltage Energy is set to amplify its support for engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) firms and developers. The company plans to offer ongoing collaboration opportunities in design, technical onboarding, and training programs aimed at facilitating the transition to 2kV solar projects. This strategic initiative underscores Voltage Energy's mission to ensure that industry stakeholders can adopt standardized engineering and installation processes effectively.
As the global push for renewable energy intensifies, Voltage Energy’s commitment to integrating state-of-the-art technologies into its offerings solidifies its place in the solar landscape. With its extensive portfolio of EBOS solutions, Voltage Energy is not only enhancing solar project efficiencies but also empowering developers to make informed decisions with successful implementation strategies for 2kV systems.
