1880s – 1900s
Early innovation
The first recorded use of wind to generate electricity was in 1887, followed by experimental solar power systems. These early efforts laid the groundwork for non-fossil fuel energy alternatives.
1970s – 1980s
Crisis & awareness
Oil shocks sparked global interest in alternative energy. Governments began funding solar, wind, and hydro projects, and the first large-scale wind turbines and solar panels appeared.
2000 – 2010
Grid integration
Renewables began feeding into national grids. Advances in photovoltaic efficiency, wind turbine design, and investment incentives made clean energy a viable alternative to coal and gas.
2010 – Present
Smart & sustainable
Rapid growth in solar and wind power is supported by smart grids, energy storage, and AI-based forecasting. Renewables now lead global electricity growth, with nations targeting net-zero emissions.

Renewable energy systems, for a sustainable future
The growth of renewable energy—particularly solar and wind—relies heavily on advanced component technologies to ensure safe, efficient, and uninterrupted operation across generation, storage, and grid integration.
Switches are used to control critical functions such as system start-up, shut-down, fault isolation, and manual overrides in solar inverters, wind turbine control panels, and battery management systems.
Sensors monitor a wide range of parameters including wind speed, solar irradiance, temperature, voltage, current, battery charge levels, and grid frequency. This data supports real-time optimisation and fault detection to maintain system efficiency and uptime.
Connectors are essential for reliable data and power transmission between sensors, control units, inverters, batteries, and grid interfaces. High-performance, IP-rated energy storage and hybrid power / data connectors are widely used to withstand outdoor environments and high-voltage applications.
Whether in a solar farm, wind turbine, or energy storage unit, these components ensure seamless communication, monitoring, and control—supporting the transition to cleaner, smarter energy.
