Schneider Electric's Customizable PV Box featured at Solar Canada 2011 Conference and Exposition

“Through our facility in Mississauga, Schneider Electric provides FIT-compliant inverters for the Ontario market,” said Rudy Wodrich, Commercial Vice President Americas, Schneider Electric Renewable Energies Business. “Since 2008, we have supplied over 225 MW of inverters and PV Boxes into the Ontario utility power plant and large commercial rooftop market, giving us a cumulative share of more than 45%.”

The Schneider Electric PV Box is a customizable pre-wired equipment package specifically designed to meet the growing demand of large-scale grid-tied solar farms and large commercial installations in any region of the world, even in the harshest environments. The PV Box is a complete solution, including power conversion, electrical distribution, control, monitoring, and communication, all from one vendor. Visitors to the Schneider Electric booth will have the chance to walk through the PV Box to get a up-close look at the inverters and equipment inside.
