BWTS is equipped to quickly restore string cabling

When cables are stolen from a solar park, the greatest loss is usually not the value of the stolen copper itself.

In many cases, hundreds of meters or even several kilometers of string cables are cut and removed overnight. In addition to material costs, the resulting damage often leads to:

⚠️ Revenue losses due to parts of the plant being out of operation
⚠️ Time-consuming fault finding and documentation
⚠️ Safety risks caused by exposed conductors and damaged components
⚠️ Significant time pressure from investors and plant operators

Every day a solar park is unable to operate at full capacity means lost revenue.
