HellermannTyton and Renewable Energy

The solar radiation in South Africa is some of the highest recorded in the world, and even if we had the ability to responsibly harness only one percent of the sun’s energy reaching the earth’s surface, we would be able to open doors to a world of endless opportunities previously wiped from the table only as science fi ction.The sun is approximately 150-million km from the earth, and only eight minutes are necessary for the sunrays to cover that distance. We can measure its energy and calculate overwhelming possibilities, but even with all the latest technology available to us, we are able to control only a fraction of the energy entering our atmosphere.Even though solar energy was born almost 250 years ago, a strong evolution in technology through many lifetimes was necessary to school us in harnessing energy from the sun in a safe manner. Renewable energy might indeed be the future of electricity and also mankind’s gift back to earth in protecting its resources and the very air we breathe, but also extremely dangerous if not understood and respected. HellermannTyton South Africa got involved in renewable energy for this very reason. Not only did we recognise the need for safe and clean energy, but also the importance of investing in our planet for many future generations to enjoy clean and healthy living.HellermannTyton’s involvement in all industries including renewable energy reaches far beyond a supply chain of products currently being used all over the world. In the renewable energy sector, and in specifi c the String Combiner Boxes (SCB) needed for solar energy, we offer a service, tailor-made to perfection to suit the customer’s energy needs. The customer is assisted from the initial enquiry through to the commissioning stage of the solar plant.

On receipt of a new enquiry, HellermannTyton does the full design of the SCB, the General Assembly and also the Single Line Diagram. After approval, a prototype is built by using only the highest class and approved safety products, electronic controllers, switchgear and specially designed photovoltaic items all populated and prepared for fi nal installation in a class II double insulated enclosure system. Production of these boxes takes place at a state-of-the-art assembly plant at the HellermannTyton premises in Johannesburg. Both production and assembly are subject to strict safety and quality control schedules throughout the process and after completion, each SCB is thoroughly re-checked and electronically tested. The completed SCB is then labelled with a barcoded ID for future reference and packed for shipment.HellermannTy ton is currently in the fi nal stages of a 90 MW solar farm which is one of the biggest ever built in South Africa. The complete plant covers an area of approximately 12 km2. We were responsible for designing and managing the full production process of more than 600 SCBs and also fi nal delivery to site. In light of our experience, we were requested to further assist through supplies of hundreds of thousands of products needed on site for general installation. Through our strong international support, we are also able to offer an excellent percentage local content, further adding positive value to the South African economy. HellermannTyton currently also offers our assistance in a growing rooftop solar market, belong to various corporate bodies and thrive to stay abreast with the ever growing technology in Renewable Energy.

Even though the concept of renewable energy is known to us all, most of us still do not grasp the actual reality of this miracle of light and heat offered to us from the sun.
