Schneider Electric enters the Indian Market with Renewable Energy

Schneider Electric India has launched the Xantrex range of Renewable Energy Products. The Xantrex range has been rebranded as Schneider Electric globally to help offer customers increased access to a wider range of integrated solutions.

Speaking about the launch Olivier Blum, Managing Director, Schneider Electric India, said, The new renewable solutions complement the existing Schneider Electric integrated solutions making energy safe, reliable, efficient, productive and green for our customers from plant to plug”.

The renewable business is poised for continued high growth. Demand is expected to remain strong, driven mainly by increasing costs of fossil energies, sensitivity to environmental concerns and financial incentives.

The Indian Government has taken a major step towards driving sustainable development with the announcement of the “Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission” targeting 20,000 MW of installed solar power by 2022. The programme further promotes off grid applications reaching 2,000 MW by 2022.  It also aims at deploying 20 million solar lighting systems for rural areas.

Schneider Electric’s Xantrex range of products consist of Change Controllers, MPPT Solar Change Controllers, Solar Invertors / Chargers, Grid Tie Inverters and Off Grid and Hybrid Inverter Chargers. These products will be distributed through a nationwide distribution channel and supported by Schneider Electric’s nationwide service network.
