UL Solutions has announced the certification of Voltage Energy Group’s full-system Electrical Balance of System (EBOS) solution for 2kV PV cable applications.
The certification, awarded under UL 9703, covers the company’s LYNX, IBEX, IBEX PLUS, and ALEX product series.
This move addresses a growing trend in utility-scale solar projects to shift from 1,500 VDC to 2kV system designs, which are being evaluated to increase energy yield, reduce capital expenditure (CAPEX), and improve long-term reliability.
The certification confirms that Voltage Energy’s 2kV EBOS system successfully completed UL Solutions’ verification testing for 2kV system requirements. This makes Voltage Energy one of the first EBOS solution providers to achieve system-level certification for a 2kV architecture.
Angel Lopez, Director of Quality at Voltage Energy, stated, “Receiving UL certification for our 2kV full-system EBOS solution reflects our commitment to delivering solutions that help the industry scale next-generation PV designs.”
“Moving to 2kV is not just a component upgrade. It requires coordinated progress across the value chain, with modules, inverters, and EBOS validated together, supported by aligned standards and cross-testing that reduce variability in field deployment.”
Evan Xiao, UL Asian regional GM, said: “UL Solutions is striving to support our customers to explore new innovations and safeguard the launch into the market.”
Xiao added, “Unified system validation and repeatable installation practices are essential to scaling the 2kV ecosystem.
Voltage Energy’s certification demonstrates continued investment in system integration and verification, and it provides the market with a clear reference point for evaluating reliable 2kV deployments.”
Following the certification, Voltage Energy plans to continue supporting engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) firms and developers with design collaboration, technical onboarding, and training, to help teams adopt consistent engineering and installation approaches for 2kV projects.
