Explosion-proof photovoltaic panel installation specifications

What is an explosion proof solar panel?

This explosion proof module is a crucial component in solar-powered systems. The 120-watt solar panel operates on 12V (nominal) with a module efficiency rate of 14.4 percent. At maximum power, the unit offers 18.1V and a current of 6.6A. Featuring a Class C application class, the module comes with a 20A maximum fuse rating.

What is explosion proof solar street light?

It uses special explosion-proof lamps, line pipe and joint, and battery box to prevent fire and explosive risks when solar street light performs. Explosion Proof Solar Street Light is used in hazardous places where flammable gases and dust exist, such as oil fields, power plants, chemical plants, gas stations, etc.

Which solar panels are ATEX certified?

JCE Group manufacture the SPA series of photovoltaic Ex mb e, Ex nA and Ex ec mc Solar Panels, which are ATEX and IECEx certified products. They are intended for use in areas made potentially hazardous by the presence of flammable liquids, gases or vapours (Zone 1 and Zone 2). Suitable for Category 2 and Category 3 G.

Are EPL solar panels IECEx compliant?

EPL (Equipment Protection Level) Gb solar panels are IECEx compliant for Zone 1 applications, where the risk of explosion is frequent due to the presence of flammable gases or vapours. For Zone 2 applications, where the risk is intermittent, EPL Gc solar panels are suitable.

What are ATEX and IECEx solar panels?

ATEX and IECEx solar panels are photovoltaic panels certified for use in areas where explosive atmospheres may be present. These hazardous environments, defined under the ATEX (European) directive and IECEx (International) standards, can occur in locations where flammable substances like gases, vapours, or dust are present.

What are ATEX/IECEx certified solar modules?
