Located on an industrial building in the manufacturing belt of Madrid, this project marks a major milestone: one of the first ArcBox installations in Spain. Completed as a single‑phase rooftop solar system, the project included the installation of 36 ArcBoxes, just weeks after ArcBox was officially launched in the country.
The customer was committed to sustainability, long‑term performance, and robust fire‑safety standards. Its priority was to ensure a reliable rooftop PV installation capable of producing clean energy efficiently for many years, while meeting increasingly stringent industry expectations for safety.
ArcBox was supplied by DSP Solar – a leading distributor in the Spanish PV sector, with MTECH Group the install partner on the project.
Carlos Rivillas, Project Manager from MTECH Group said:
“The decision to integrate ArcBox was driven by several compelling factors. It’s reliability and proven effectiveness, ArcBox has established a strong reputation in other markets for its performance and dependable arc‑fault risk mitigation. Ease of installation, the design enabled fast, straightforward integration into the PV system. Cost‑effectiveness, it’s an affordable, high‑impact safety upgrade, especially important for industrial buildings, where electrical arcs pose elevated risk and finally a market‑driven need, new fire‑safety regulations in Spain, combined with growing pressure from insurance companies, are pushing top‑tier companies to adopt innovative protection technologies.”
This installation demonstrates how proactive safety choices can set new standards in the Spanish PV market. With MTECH committing to ArcBox across all future rooftop designs, the project is already influencing wider industry adoption.
