Over these years, Stäubli Renewable Energy has continuously held a strong presence in the PV industry and meanwhile consistently advanced from component manufacturer and supplier to solution provider. While around
50 % of the worldwide cumulative PV capacity rely on Stäubli PV connectors, the company has a strong commitment to contribute to a safer PV industry. Stäubli Renewable Energy is continually investing in the development of product innovation, product safety and product reliability as well as elaborating services for eBoS applications (electrical Balance of Systems) along the PV project lifecycles. At the same time the investments are also with a focus on production capacity and human expertise.
