Market Position
The Solar Solutions provides market leading electrical solutions for utility scale solar plants. Till date, Trinity Touch has supplied over 17,500 MWp of String Monitoring Units and String Combiner Boxes in India and beyond. Trinity Touch also provides essential weather monitoring sensors required to effectively monitor PV plants.
The Array Junction Box combines the multiple DC input coming from the panel termination and converts these into one DC output.These solutions are customisable. The String Monitoring box is available in 8,16 & 24 string inputs and features are string monitoring of current and voltage measurements. The String Monitoring box B is also designed to communicate via Modbus RTU to the PLC/SCADA.
