Socomec India, a leader in power management solutions, has made a significant contribution to India’s renewable energy sector. The company has supplied its innovative Photovoltaic (PV) disconnect switches for over 50 GW of solar installations, out of the country’s total 90 GW solar capacity. This achievement reflects Socomec’s dedication to its ‘Energizing India’ vision, aimed at fostering sustainable growth and supporting India’s ambitious renewable energy targets.
The company’s SIRCO PV and INOSYS disconnect switches are designed to manage DC power up to 1500 VDC across a range of electrical setups, including floating and bipolar configurations. These switches use patented technology to deliver a 500 / 750 VDC breaking capacity per pole, ensuring low power loss and offering a compact solution tailored for the demanding needs of solar energy systems.
For higher voltage systems, Socomec has introduced upgraded switches with a 2000 VDC capacity, available in 3- or 4-pole configurations. These state-of-the-art products, the first of their kind in the market, are designed to maximize efficiency and performance at higher voltages, solidifying Socomec’s position as a technology leader in the solar industry.
Beyond innovation, Socomec has cultivated strong partnerships across the photovoltaic ecosystem, working closely with manufacturers of combiner boxes and solar inverters, EPC contractors, and system integrators. This extensive network, paired with Socomec’s high product quality and customer service standards, has earned the trust and loyalty of key stakeholders in the solar sector.
Socomec’s success is also fueled by its commitment to continuous innovation. The company invests 8% of its annual revenue in Research and Development, enabling it to exceed industry standards and develop solutions that ensure safety, reliability, and efficiency in solar power systems. This focus on advancement allows Socomec to address the unique challenges of India’s diverse and often harsh environmental conditions, further reinforcing its leadership in the renewable energy space.
Meenu Singhal, Regional Managing Director, Socomec Greater India, said in a statement, “We are incredibly proud to have reached this significant milestone of crossing 50GW of PV disconnect switches installations in India. Our Made in India PV disconnect switches are helping to power the nation’s renewable energy future, contributing directly to India’s energy security and environmental sustainability. This achievement reflects our unwavering commitment to innovation, quality, and customer satisfaction, and we look forward to continuing our contribution to India’s growing solar sector.”
To support India’s expanding solar sector, Socomec has been producing PV disconnect switches at its advanced manufacturing facility in Gurgaon for over a decade. This local production capability ensures a steady supply of high-quality products to meet the increasing demands of the Indian market. By manufacturing locally, Socomec has significantly reduced lead times, allowing for quicker delivery and more responsive customer service, further solidifying its position as a trusted partner in India’s solar energy journey.
