Solar Distribution

Sustainable solutions for a greener grid

Harnessing the power of the sun to drive decarbonization

As the global push toward decarbonization continues to accelerate, solar power has become one of the primary renewable energy resources used to generate power and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Governments, large enterprises and small businesses around the world are using solar technology to help meet their sustainability goals and limit their dependency on the grid. Even emerging and developing markets are adopting solar energy as an affordable and sustainable method of meeting growing energy demand.

Solar technology is constantly changing. Photovoltaic (PV) solar panels, Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) panels, Building-Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV), solar thermal systems and hybrid systems are often used in residential and commercial applications as well as large-scale energy production and transportation infrastructure. Smart grids—which use digital technology to monitor and manage energy distribution—help integrate solar power more effectively across the broader energy landscape. Solar power systems can now be linked to the grid to provide real-time data and improve energy distribution. Integrating with battery energy storage systems, can also help with balancing supply and demand. And since solar energy generation is intermittent, energy storage systems can be vital to providing a consistent power supply.

The power needs for solar energy systems require an understanding of the amount of energy consumption, available sunlight, system components, and whether battery storage or grid connection will be used. Optimizing these factors ensures that solar energy systems meet the power demands effectively and sustainably.

How our solutions support solar distribution

The solar distribution system is the network that ensures electricity is produced, transmitted and distributed from solar power systems to the end user. From solar panels to inverters, transformers and switchgear to wiring and cables, breakers, surge protectors and battery storage solutions among others, solar systems require the right expertise to leverage its benefits.

For decades, JST Power Equipment has served the solar power industry with electrical power solutions for solar projects of various customer types and sizes. Our solutions are designed and engineered to improve efficiency and resiliency and enhance the safety and sustainability of solar energy systems. With our industry-leading lead times and best-in-class project management, we’re able to meet our customers’ needs with outstanding precision and accuracy.
