Weidmüller Interface was named as winner of the The smarter E AWARD 2025 in the Category "Photovoltaics" for the application PV Inline.
PV Inline is the winning entry from Germany’s Weidmüller, a family-owned company founded in 1850. This ultra-compact surge arrestor provides reliable lightning and overvoltage protection for PV systems on buildings. These environments often present severe space limitations, particularly at the roof entry point of PV cables. PV Inline solves this problem with its minimalistic form factor, which Weidmüller claims is the smallest of its kind on the market. It is available with type I or II surge arrestors and features IP65 protection. It can be mounted on an internal or external wall, within a standard cable channel, or directly behind the solar modules. Its plug-and-play design includes ready-to-connect PV cables and high-quality MC4 connectors. Our judges were impressed with PV Inline’s practical design and features, which solve a growing technical challenge in solar PV installations.
