Supporting Renewable Energy Equipment Manufacturers

Renewable energy technologies depend on eletrical connections between power electronics, sensors, monitoring equipment and control systems.

Different applications bring different requirements, particularly around electrical loads, temperature, vibration, moisture and installation constraints.

We support manufacturers developing equipment for:

Wind Energy Systems

Cable assemblies and wiring harnesses for wind turbine control equipment, monitoring systems, power management and associated electrical assemblies.

Solar Energy Equipment

Custom wiring and electrical assemblies for solar inverters, monitoring equipment, control systems and power conversion technology.

Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS)

Wiring harnesses and cable assemblies for battery management, monitoring, control electronics and associated equipment.

Power Conversion & Distribution

Electrical assemblies, control panels and box builds for inverters, converters, distribution equipment and energy management systems.

Renewable Energy Monitoring & Control

Cable assemblies for sensing, data acquisition, communications and equipment used to monitor and manage energy systems.

Each assembly is manufactured to customer specifications, taking account of its intended application, electrical requirements and integration within the finished equipment.

Custom Cable Assemblies & Wiring Harnesses

Renewable energy equipment rarely follows a single standard design. Connector types, cable lengths, routing, shielding and mechanical protection can vary considerably between applications.

Connect-2 Technology manufactures bespoke cable assemblies, wiring harnesses and wiring looms to customer drawings and specifications.

Our capabilities include:

    • Multi-core cable assemblies and custom wiring looms

    • Specialist connector and termination configurations

    • Shielded and protected cable assemblies

    • Wiring harnesses for monitoring and control equipment

    • Panel wiring and DIN rail assemblies

    • Electronic and electromechanical box builds

    • Inspection and electrical testing to agreed requirements

Our in-house engineering team can also assist with manufacturing documentation, component selection and practical design considerations.

This helps ensure assemblies are suitable for the intended application and can be manufactured efficiently as production requirements develop.

Taking the Headaches Out of Wiring Harness Outsourcing

Outsourcing wiring harnesses can reduce internal manufacturing demands, but transferring production to an external supplier requires careful planning.

Incomplete drawings, component availability, undocumented changes and inconsistent assembly methods can create unnecessary delays and additional engineering work.

For renewable energy hardware manufacturers, some of the most common challenges include:

Technical Specifications

A successful manufacturing handover starts with accurate drawings, bills of materials, connector details and testing requirements. We work with customers to clarify build information and identify potential manufacturing issues before production.

Component Sourcing

Specialist cables, connectors and electrical components can affect lead times. Our established supply chain helps us source components and discuss suitable alternatives where required and approved.

Prototype to Production

An assembly that works during development must also be practical to manufacture repeatedly. Our controlled production processes help maintain build quality as projects move from initial prototypes to ongoing supply.

Engineering Changes

Designs evolve, particularly during product development. Our engineering team works with customers to manage agreed changes to manufacturing documentation and assembly requirements.

Quality Control

Outsourcing shouldn't mean losing visibility of manufacturing quality. Connect-2 Technology operates an ISO 9001:2015 certified quality management system, with an IPC/WHMA-A-620 trained workforce and inspection and testing processes appropriate to customer requirements.

By addressing these challenges early, we help manufacturers establish a more manageable and dependable outsourcing arrangement.

Cleveland Circuits PCB Assembly UK

More Than a Cable Assembly Supplier

Renewable energy equipment often combines cable assemblies, printed circuit boards, control electronics and mechanical enclosures.

Managing these components through separate suppliers can increase purchasing administration, inventory requirements and project coordination.

As part of Cleveland Technologies Group, Connect-2 Technology can provide a more integrated manufacturing solution.

Through our sister company, Cleveland Circuits, we can supply bare and assembled printed circuit boards (PCBs) alongside our cable assembly, control panel and box build services.

This can help you:

    • Reduce the number of suppliers involved in a project
    • Consolidate purchasing and component management
    • Improve coordination between electrical and electronic assemblies
    • Simplify procurement and logistics
    • Receive complete assemblies ready for integration into your equipment

For OEMs looking to outsource more of their electrical and electronic manufacturing, this provides an alternative to managing each element independently.

Cable Assemblies for Renewable Energy

Manufacturing That Supports Development and Production

Renewable energy equipment manufacturers need suppliers who can accommodate changing requirements during development while supporting established production schedules.

With over 30 years of manufacturing experience, Connect-2 Technology supports projects from initial prototypes and low-volume builds through to repeat production.

Our manufacturing approach includes:

    • Engineering support and review of customer specifications
    • Component sourcing and supply chain management
    • Controlled assembly and inspection processes
    • Electrical testing to agreed requirements
    • Flexible production volumes
    • Support for ongoing manufacturing and engineering changes

We manufacture in the UK and supply customers nationally and internationally, providing a responsive manufacturing service backed by experienced engineering and production teams.

Choosing the Right Manufacturing Partner for Renewable Energy Equipment

When evaluating cable assembly manufacturers or wiring loom suppliers, price and lead time are important, but they aren't the only considerations.

A suitable manufacturing partner should be able to understand your technical requirements, support quality control and adapt as production needs change.

For renewable energy hardware, it's worth considering:

Technical capability: Can the supplier manufacture assemblies to your electrical and mechanical specifications?

Quality assurance: Are appropriate manufacturing controls, inspection and testing procedures in place?

Production flexibility: Can they support prototypes, development changes and repeat production?

Component sourcing: Can they help manage availability and approved alternatives?

Additional capabilities: Can they provide control panels, box builds or PCB integration where required?

Communication: Will you have access to engineering support when technical questions arise?


Connect-2 Technology combines custom cable assembly manufacturing with engineering support and wider electronic assembly capabilities, helping manufacturers manage these requirements through a UK-based production partner.
