Smart teamwork enables networked
support for renewable energies

Renewable energies – one term, count-
less options: from smart grid communi-
cation and charging infrastructures for
e-cars through to energy storage.
Anyone developing renewable energy
applications needs a partner who can
provide not only large volumes of elec-
tronic components, but also advice and
support through the design phase. That
is the mission of the EBV Renewable
Energies team.
