THE FIRST PV CONNECTORS FOR HARSH ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS

Requirements for operating electrical installations in ambient temperatures over 70°C or at altitudes higher than 6,500 feet differ from the requirements for standard installations due to the different climate conditions. Yet, it is precisely in areas with such harsh conditions, like deserts and high mountain ranges, that offer large spaces and optimal solar radiation for efficient photovoltaic systems. The original Stäubli MC4 connector portfolio has a proven track record for such kind of applications.
