MUNICH, June 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- From June 23 to 25, Voltage Energy Group ("Voltage Energy"), a leading global provider of electrical balance-of-system (EBOS) solutions for utility-scale solar projects, showcased its system-level EBOS solutions at Intersolar Europe 2026 in Munich. This year, the company demonstrated how its flagship pre-assembled wiring solutions, LYNX PLUS and IBEX PLUS, fit seamlessly into a broader system-level EBOS solution designed to support the next generation of high-voltage, high-power solar projects.
From Wiring Products to System-Level EBOS Solutions
As utility-scale solar projects evolve toward higher-power and higher-voltage architectures, Voltage Energy has expanded beyond individual wiring products to deliver a comprehensive system-level pre-assembled wiring solution, covering a full range of current-capacity applications, helping developers and EPC optimize project design, reduce installation complexity, and enhance long-term system reliability.
Compared with traditional cable-by-cable wiring methods, these solutions can reduce cable usage by up to 33% and cut installation time by up to 50%, helping accelerate project schedules and improve deployment efficiency.
"Solar developers and EPCs are under increasing pressure to deliver larger projects with fewer installation resources and tighter schedules," said Bob Slack, CTO of Voltage Energy. "We believe the future of EBOS lies in integrated system-level solutions that simplify deployment, help lower project LCOE, while preparing customers for higher-voltage architectures."
Addressing Every Current-Capacity Challenge
Voltage Energy's solutions portfolio includes LYNX PLUS, IBEX PLUS, LYNX, IBEX, and ALEX, engineered to handle diverse project topologies and electrical loads.
- LYNX PLUS is purpose-built for higher-current applications, supporting trunk capacities up to 400 mm2 (853 A), reducing voltage drop by up to 34% compared with conventional 240 mm2 designs, and eliminating the need for traditional combiner boxes to simplify installation and O&M.
- IBEX PLUS fills the critical 70–168A medium-current capacity gap. Featuring a 97% flexible aluminum cable design, it is up to 41% lighter than traditional copper alternatives and can reduce CapEx by as much as 27%. Copper-aluminum hybrid interface options provide greater design flexibility while optimizing material and logistics.
Built for 2kV-Ready Solar Systems
Voltage Energy integrates flexible aluminum conductor innovation, optimized electrical layouts, and 2kV-ready architectures across its pre-assembled EBOS solutions, helping improve installation efficiency while supporting the evolving needs of utility-scale solar projects. Both LYNX PLUS and IBEX PLUS have achieved UL 2kV certification in the U.S., with European certification processes currently underway, positioning Voltage Energy to support broader adoption of advanced system-level EBOS solutions across Europe.

Voltage Energy Highlights Pre-Assembled Wiring Solutions at Intersolar Europe 2026
MUNICH, June 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- GCL System Integration Technology Co., Ltd. ("GCL SI" or "the Company") has announced at Intersolar Europe 2026 held from June 23 to 25 in Munich to officially establish back-contact (BC) cell technology as the core strategic pillar of its next-generation photovoltaic roadmap, as a response to the rising demand for high-efficiency, aesthetically driven solutions. It also unveiled the GPC 3.0 full-screen all-black module at one of the most influential solar industry trade fairs worldwide.
As China's solar sector faces mounting efficiency bottlenecks and increasingly diverse end-market demands, the shift to BC technology is driven by both evolving market needs and the company's accumulated expertise in passivation and contact techniques.
"BC is the ultimate architecture for crystalline silicon cells," said GengWeng Huang, Executive Dean of GCL SI's Cell Research Division. "We've already explored TOPCon and HJT extensively, but both are reaching their physical limits. BC is opening a broader window for future efficiency gains."
GCL SI's GPC (Graphical Precise-doping Passivation Contact) product line is its flagship BC technology development. GPC 3.0 targets the premium distributed segment of residential rooftops, C&I rooftops, and BIPV-style applications, where full-screen all-black aesthetics, higher energy yield, and stronger reliability are increasingly valued. GCL SI describes GPC 3.0 as a high-efficiency BC-based module designed to deliver greater real-world rooftop value.
Notably, GCL SI confirmed that the first containers of GPC 3.0 modules are already on their way to Europe, marking the beginning of its commercial rollout in the European distributed solar market.
The GPC residential full-screen all-black modules offer a proven benchmark: 475–500 W output, 23.27%–24.05% efficiency, dimensions of 1,800 × 1,134 × 30 mm, a 30-year linear power warranty with 0.35% annual degradation, and a 30-year product warranty. GCL SI has indicated that GPC 3.0 is designed to further enhance both efficiency and reliability beyond this baseline.
According to GCL SI, GPC 3.0 integrates several upgraded technologies including MAX design, advanced passivation, multi-layer gradient dielectric films, GPC metallization, and FBR granular silicon, to boost module efficiency, durability, and suitability across distributed scenarios. The technology offers four core advantages:
- Enhanced light harvesting & aesthetics: GPC 3.0's MAX‑oriented full‑screen design minimizes front‑side visual interruption while expanding light‑receiving area. Combined with multi‑layer gradient dielectric films, it delivers stronger broadband anti‑reflection and improved energy yield under variable rooftop irradiance.
- Higher conversion efficiency via passivation upgrades: GCL SI's advanced passivation path reduces surface recombination losses and boosts voltage performance. Mass‑produced GPC cells have achieved an average conversion efficiency of 28.38%, underscoring the company's BC‑track efficiency trajectory.
- Lower non‑silicon cost via metallization innovation: GPC metallization is a key lever in the GPC 3.0 upgrade. GCL SI also notes progress in advanced metallization such as 0BB and other silver‑reduction approaches, supporting the industry shift toward lower per‑watt silver consumption and improved cost resilience.
- Materials consistency & sustainability with FBR granular silicon: Leveraging in‑house FBR granular silicon, GCL SI enhances material uniformity and strengthens its sustainability profile, supporting both performance consistency and lower‑carbon manufacturing, which is increasingly valued in international distributed markets.
Looking ahead, GCL SI is committed to driving the global large‑scale adoption of BC technology to support worldwide carbon neutrality goals. With GPC 3.0 as a strategic cornerstone, the company will continue pushing efficiency boundaries and low‑carbon innovation across distributed solar applications, and to build a cleaner, more resilient energy future.
