HARNESS THE HEAT TRUST THE POWER WITHIN
Central solar inverters convert DC power from solar panels to AC power that can be used by homes or businesses or can be connected to the grid. To maximize efficiency and improve reliability, manufacturers are beginning to seek innovations that cut costs, create smart grid features, and standardize monitoring and control interfaces. TE provides designers with high-quality and reliable components that save space without sacrificing power, including off-board power connectors, terminals and splices.
String solar inverters are continually evolving – newer systems have advanced features that are compatible with smart grids. In addition, string inverters are being enhanced with sensors and monitoring tools for use as energy management centers.

UNLEASH THE POWER OF EFFICIENCY: YOUR HOME, OUR SOLUTIONS
A complete energy storage system plays a crucial role in the success of renewable energy by balancing renewable energy supplies and electricity demands. As batteries are expected to complete more duty cycles, last longer, and hold more power, manufacturers will need to work with new thermal management technologies. Battery energy storage systems are considerably more advanced than the batteries you keep in your kitchen drawer or insert in your children's toys. Intelligent battery software uses algorithms to coordinate energy production and computerized control systems are used to decide when to store energy or to release it to the grid. Energy is released from the battery storage system during times of peak demand, keeping costs down and electricity flowing. To support next-generation battery systems, TE offers a broad portfolio of power and signal connectors, relays and terminal solutions that power up and keep going.
