Achieving great things together: How GSW and HIS are revolutionizing the cabling of solar parks
"When I walk through the plant today and see how smoothly everything is running, it makes me really proud," says Michael Langner with a satisfied smile. As a cabling expert at GSW Gold Solarwind, he knows the challenges of large solar projects only too well. "In the past, cabling was often the point that gave us headaches. Today, it is one of our biggest success factors."
From Challenge to Opportunity
The story begins with a problem that many in the industry are familiar with: solar parks are getting bigger and bigger, their shapes are becoming more complex. Where manageable, rectangular areas were once standard, today extensive systems extend over irregular terrain. "With each new project, the challenges of the cabling grew," Langner recalls. "Different cable lengths, different sections - that not only meant more work, but also a higher risk of error."
The turning point: tailor-made solutions meet real partnership
The collaboration with HIS marked a turning point. "What impressed us from the start was not just the technical solution with the pre-assembled cable harnesses," emphasizes Langner. "It was the way the HIS team made our challenges their own."
The individual cabling was tailored precisely to GSW's needs. Each cable harness is manufactured specifically for the project and color-coded. "When you see our fitters today, you can literally feel their relief. Where there used to be stress and worry about mistakes, you now see relaxed faces and efficient work."
Success that can be measured
The results speak for themselves: significantly reduced installation times, minimized error rates and optimized personnel deployment. But for Langner, something else counts: "The smooth communication, the quick feedback, the feeling of having a partner who thinks along with you - that makes the real difference."
A partnership that bears fruit
The collaboration between GSW and HIS shows what is possible when technical expertise meets a real partnership mentality. Every project begins with an intensive dialogue. The requirements are evaluated together, solutions are developed and optimized. "It is this mixture of technical precision and human proximity that makes our projects so successful," summarizes Langner.
Together into the Future
The story of GSW and HIS is far from over. With every project, experience grows, with every challenge, innovative strength. "When I think about what we have already achieved together and what still lies ahead of us, it makes me confident," says Langner. "With HIS, we have not only found a supplier, but a partner with whom we can actively shape the future of solar energy."
