General Cable's Complete Solar Energy Solution
December 12 2011
From the back of the solar panel to the inverter where DC electricity is converted into clean AC power, from the
inverter to the transformer where electricity is transferred to the substation, and from the substation to the
power grid, General Cable provides a broad range of renewable energy products for the solar market. Besides
developing next-generation solar products, General Cable has the offering to comprise a complete cable solution
for solar power applications. From low-voltage DC and AC connections and medium-voltage distribution to
high-voltage overhead and underground transmission lines, General Cable’s range of products is engineered to
withstand the demands of entire solar power generation, transmission and distribution systems — from the sun
to the outlet.
