Solar panel connector plugs must be taken seriously

      In a photovoltaic power station, to gather the power of a large number of components together and put them into the inverter, it is necessary to rely on cables and connectors. The photoelectric connector is one of the components, nesting boxes. Units, controllers and inverters in the optical power supply. The key parts are interconnected.


      As of the end of September 2020, my country's cumulative installed photovoltaic capacity is about 155GW, ranking first in the world. Based on the consumption of 4,000 units of 1MW, the country’s photovoltaic power plants currently have about 540 million connectors. From a risk perspective, this means that power plant owners need to pay attention to at least 540 million risk points. However, optoelectronic connectors are often overlooked in the design, construction, operation and maintenance stages because people pay insufficient attention to connectors.
