Vertiv™ PowerDirect 7100 Energy hybrid DC power system delivers reliable, alternative energy-ready performance across on-grid, bad-grid, and off-grid environments
London, UK [November 25, 2025] – Vertiv (NYSE: VRT), a global leader in critical digital infrastructure, today introduced the Vertiv™ PowerDirect 7100 Energy, a hybrid-ready DC power system developed to enable telecom and edge operators to strengthen network reliability and accelerate energy transition strategies. The system delivers scalable power with intelligent controls across diverse operating conditions, from stable grids to remote or off-grid sites, giving operators the flexibility to adapt to new energy sources and growing digital demand.
Now available in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA), the Vertiv PowerDirect 7100 Energy delivers up to 52 kW of scalable 48 V DC power and achieves up to 98% efficiency. Built on Vertiv’s fourth-generation hybrid architecture, it seamlessly integrates grid, generator, and alternative energy inputs such as solar, wind, or fuel-cell energy to maintain continuous power where grid reliability is limited.
At the core of the system are Vertiv™ solar converters and Vertiv™ modular rectifiers, managed by the Vertiv™ NetSure™ Control Unit (NCU). Together, these components enable advanced load management, remote monitoring, and energy scheduling to maximise performance and extend equipment life.
