Electrical Solutions for Utility-Scale Ground-Mounted PV Plants

We engineer and manufacture complete medium- and low-voltage electrical systems for large-scale ground-mounted photovoltaic (PV) power plants. Our solutions cover every stage — from inverter output to grid interconnection — ensuring reliable operation, grid compliance, and long-term performance.

With decades of experience in power distribution and renewable integration, we provide modular, pre-assembled systems for faster EPC deployment, safer operation, and easier maintenance across hundreds of megawatts.

Utility-Scale Highlights
  • Centralized or string inverter topologies
  • MV collection networks up to 35 kV
  • Skid-mounted or containerized power blocks
  • Fully compliant with IEC / CE / ISO standards

Project Overview — Powering Utility-Scale Solar Farms

Ground-mounted PV plants are the backbone of modern solar generation, delivering hundreds of megawatts directly to the grid. These installations demand reliable medium-voltage equipment, robust transformers, and intelligent control systems that can operate continuously in outdoor environments.

We supply complete electrical solutions — from inverter stations to main substations — ensuring every connection meets grid code and performs flawlessly over the plant’s 25-year lifespan.

Typical System Architecture

Our utility-scale PV electrical chain is designed for efficiency and modular expansion:

PV Fields & Inverters
Strings or central inverters convert DC to AC, arranged in modular power blocks.
Step-Up Transformer
Boosts inverter output from 400 V / 690 V to 10–35 kV for MV collection.
MV Switchgear / RMU
Connects and protects each block. Enables isolation and sectionalization.
Collector Substation
Aggregates all MV feeders into the main step-up transformer (33–110 kV).
Grid Interconnection
MV/HV switchyard with protection relays, SCADA, and utility interface.

Core Electrical Equipment Supply

Medium Voltage Switchgear (10–35 kV)

Outdoor or indoor metal-clad switchgear designed for reliability and safety. Includes SF₆ or solid-insulated options, integrated protection relays, and arc-flash containment for collector stations.

Ring Main Units (RMU)

Compact gas-insulated or solid-insulated RMUs enable flexible feeder connections within MV rings. Ideal for distributed PV block architectures where redundancy and service continuity are key.

Power Transformers

Oil-immersed or dry-type step-up transformers (400 V→33 kV / 35 kV). Customized for high ambient temperature, low losses, and long service life under continuous load.

Low Voltage Panels

Located near inverter stations. Provide control, auxiliary supply, protection, and monitoring at LV level. Factory-tested assemblies minimize onsite wiring.

SCADA / Monitoring Systems

Full monitoring and control of each feeder and transformer via SCADA integration. Real-time status, alarms, and data logging improve plant availability and performance.

Case Example — 100 MW Utility-Scale PV Plant

This 100 MW solar farm was built across 200 hectares of land with 400 inverters and 50 power blocks. We supplied 35 kV medium-voltage switchgear, ring main units, step-up transformers, and low-voltage panels for each inverter skid. All units were delivered as pre-assembled modules for faster commissioning and lower onsite risk.

The plant has achieved over 99.95% availability since commissioning, providing renewable energy for more than 200,000 households annually.
