Goldray Electric

Goldray Electric has developed the SafeKnect Connector, a robust, waterproof plug-and-socket connection that addresses persistent safety and reliability issues in outdoor electrical connections – especially suited to solar farms and electric vehicle (EV) charging stations.  

Solar farms require extensive cabling and connections to connect the arrays of photovoltaic panels to inverters. Current cabling methods lack secure internal cable clamping and secure cable to cable connection, resulting in disconnections and water ingress, causing power interruptions and fire hazards. 

The SafeKnect Connector introduces a locking ball clamp system embedded within both the plug and socket housings, to lock the cable firmly in the connector housing, preventing mechanical strain transferring from the cable to the internal electrical connection – a common failure point in long, heavy cable runs. 

By securing the cable connection and providing IP67 waterproofing, the SafeKnect Connector enhances safety, durability, and reliability for solar farms, EV charging stations, and temporary or remote power applications.  

“The RISE Accelerator provides an amazing opportunity to engage with experts in renewable energy in India and Australia, having recently identified the potential of SafeKnect in the Solar Farm and EV Charging Station sectors. The RISE Accelerator will significantly enhance the marketing of SafeKnect in the renewables sector alongside the domestic power sector in India and Australia, with the potential for expanding into further global markets in coming years.”
