Another milestone for safe, digital, and connected PV solutions from KOSTAL. The KOSTAL inverters PLENTICORE G3, PLENTICORE MP G3, PLENTICORE plus G2 as well as the commercial inverters PIKO CI 30/50 G2 and PIKO CI 100 meet the requirements of the Radio Equipment Directive (RED 2014/53/EU) and are thus prepared for the EU’s regulatory cybersecurity specifications. 

KOSTAL security – certified and confirmed

The RED Directive is a European legal framework for all radio equipment, including inverters with communication interfaces. It stipulates that such devices must comply with electromagnetic compatibility, radio performance, and mandatory cybersecurity requirements.

The aim is to protect consumers and networks from risks posed by insecure devices. Stricter rules take effect in 2025—KOSTAL meets them now. The successful certification proves that KOSTAL’s inverters are powerful, efficient, and technologically and regulatorily up to date.
 

What does this mean for KOSTAL customers?
 

„“With RED certification, customers get certified security. The trade benefits from a strong sales argument—‘certified secure’—and can rely on KOSTAL products already fulfilling requirements that become mandatory in 2025,” says Thomas Vogel, Head of Product Management at KOSTAL.

KOSTAL builds trust during the installation and commissioning of PV systems, as well as in public tenders or commercial projects. The certification provides installers with high planning and implementation security, especially in applications with enhanced data protection or specific grid requirements. End customers benefit too: they get a solution that protects sensitive data, ensures stable system operation, and convinces with ‘Made in Germany’ certified technology.
