Subject to changes and errors. The information given in this document only contains general descriptions and/or performance features which may not always specifically reflect those described, or which may undergo modification in the course of further development of the products. The requested performance features are binding only when they are expressly agreed upon in the concluded contract.
Even with the challenges of interconnecting systems and still having the ability to operate as a microgrid, the SGE42-HM demonstrated its ability as the right solution for our customer to maintain Sensation’s innovative position in the market, while ensuring reliability, efficiency and cost optimization.
One of the most admirable features of the SGE42-HM is the ability of the system to be easily modified into different configurations in terms of hardware, to offer the flexibility of integration into other system types. This flexibility along with the guarantee of a 42% increase in
efficiency for the plant, made this partnership a technically innovative journey to ensure Sensation operates one of the most technologically advanced greenhouses on the market. The customer valued Siemens’ expertise, professionalism, and technical knowlege along with delivering on its guarantees, make Siemens a key solution provider and leader in the energy industry.
