String protection and control
Either string fuses or string circuit breakers for flexibility to meet system demands and client requirements.
Can be assembled in multi-string combiner boxes to gather and control the DC power.
These combiner boxes may also include DC SPDs, switch disconnectors, string-level monitoring, and communications.
Solar Substation
Solar substation is a compact solution for PV stations, including MV switchgear, transformer and inverter just in one enclosure. It offers high-reliable and efficient solution for large photovoltaic plants.
With complete pre-assembled and tested substation, energizing a PV plant is as quick as connecting MV cables into the MV switchgears. By installing all package into a standard seaworthy ISO container, delivery & logistics have never been so easy, even to very far and rural lands.

Connection point
Power from multiple solar stations is collected in a substation, where the connection to the public grid is made. Air circuit breakers control and protect high LV AC current.
As power is transformed to local grid distribution needs, medium voltage switchgear provides protection and switching for cabling and transformers. Grid protection relays can be integrated in LV or MV systems.
Solar inverter
A growing trend is increased use of string inverters. Eaton can provide the complete electrical infrastructure to connect these string inverters in a modular and scalable way. Eaton can provide significant content for Inverter ‘houses’ for the DC and AC protection including fuses, SPD’s, Circuit breakers, and controls.
Services (EESS-CoE)
Eaton’s electrical engineering services range from power systems engineering consultancy, to utility/ grid point of connection (PoC) design, installation and commissioning, to PV BoS design and project management to full BoS turnkey services which can also include cable and civil works construction.
Design, build and maintain an automated, secure and cost-effective grid.
