About WEG
| Origin | Brazil |
|---|---|
| Headquarters | Jaraguá do Sul, Santa Catarina, Brazil |
| Founded | 1961 |
| Chemistry | BAT codes in the catalog must be confirmed; WEG offers VRLA solutions and lithium systems in separate lines |
Founded in 1961 in Jaraguá do Sul by Werner Ricardo Voigt, Eggon João da Silva and Geraldo Werninghaus, WEG became a global group in electrical equipment and automation.
In solar energy, the company brings together inverters, batteries and integration. Its current portfolio includes lithium storage, while earlier documents and codes also cover VRLA batteries — so the WEG name alone does not tell you the chemistry.
Focus and technology
WEG focuses on batteries for photovoltaic systems, backup and energy storage.
- Engineering and a service structure in Brazil
- Integration with solar and automation solutions
- National investment in packs and BESS systems
What to check before buying
Read the label and manual of the full BAT code before defining charger, ventilation, BMS or paralleling. A VRLA battery cannot take LFP charging parameters, and a lithium module must not operate without approved communication and protections.
Buying WEG equipment in Brazil
WEG's industrial presence in Brazil is an operational advantage, but it does not replace checking the warranty terms, the responsible installer, the availability of replacements and battery–inverter compatibility.
