About the company

Birtes Elektromekanik A.Ş. is a family-owned Turkish company founded in 2020. Leveraging the founders’ 25 years of industry experience, Birtes provides engineering solutions for industrial companies with electrical enclosures, connection systems, electrical components, cable entry systems and consumables.

Challenges

As solar energy projects grow in scale, the requirements for system reliability, durability, and efficient installation become more demanding.

In a large photovoltaic project in Türkiye, Birtes was responsible for delivering DC combiner box solutions to support a 200 megawatt solar installation. 

The project presented several technical and operational challenges:

  • Ensuring protection in harsh outdoor conditions, including high UV exposure and weather stress.

  • Meeting strict technical requirements such as IP65+ -rated protection and suitability for 1500 V DC installation.

  • Enabling customization of enclosures to fit specific end-customer design requirements. 

  • Managing tight delivery timelines for a large-scale project

  • Supporting integration into DC combiner boxes used to connect photovoltaic strings to inverters 

Our Solutions

Customised modular enclosure design

Fibox provided modular enclosure solutions that could be adapted to Birtes’ specific needs. The design allowed Birtes to modify the enclosure structure to match customer requirements. The solution is based on 2,000 EKUN 180 T and EKTH 130 T enclosures with EKTZR accessories to meet the needs of the project.
