The best switchboards for solar farms are modular, UL 891 certified switchboards. These are designed for flexibility, high reliability, and ease of maintenance, with options for main breaker or main lug output, and support for both direct and cable connections to MV transformers. EPEC’s switchboards are specifically engineered for solar, data center, and energy storage applications.
480VAC and 800VAC refer to the voltage levels at which electrical systems operate. 800VAC systems can handle higher power loads and reduce current (and thus cable size) for the same power, which can lower installation costs and improve efficiency. Both are supported by EPEC’s modular switchboards, which are designed to accommodate different voltage requirements for various applications.
A UL 891 switchboard is a type of low-voltage switchboard used for power distribution in commercial, industrial, and utility-scale applications. It is widely used in data centers, solar farms, energy storage, and EV charging infrastructure for its safety, reliability, and ability to handle high current loads.
