As utility scale solar projects continue to grow in size and complexity, the industry is continually faced with a familiar challenge; how to get clean energy to the grid faster. Field delays, whether driven by labor shortages, unclear specifications or logistical challenges, can quickly derail project schedules and increase costs.
One practical solution that is gaining momentum across the industry is the use of prefabricated balance of system (BoS) equipment. By shifting much of the complexity upstream into controlled manufacturing rather than active job sites, EPCs and developers can streamline installation, improve reliability, and accelerate project commissioning.
Across the industry, developers are facing increasing demands to accelerate project timelines. Labor shortages continue to limit availability of skilled electricians, while project pipelines expand at a pace that traditional construction methods struggle to support. At the same time, recent federal guidance around the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) has created new urgency, with developers eager to capture full tax credit benefits within strict delivery timelines. Against this backdrop, prefabrication offers a very timely solution aligning project schedules with both market demand and policy-driven expectations.
EPEC Solutions Inc. is proud to have collaborated with ABB in a feature article in the latest issue of enerG magazine, detailing the growing advantages of 800V AC equipment in solar and distributed generation systems. As the demand for cleaner, more efficient, and higher-performing solar infrastructure increases, shifting toward higher AC voltages—particularly 690–800V AC—offers compelling benefits in system efficiency, cost, and scalability.
The article, co-authored by Mark Sauls, Vice President of Sales/Operations at EPEC and Brian Nelson, Renewables Segment Leader at ABB, highlights the technical and operational improvements made possible through the adoption of 800V AC equipment, including:
With the solar PV market evolving rapidly, this collaboration underscores EPEC’s continued commitment to delivering forward-looking, engineering-driven solutions for the future of clean energy.
