Asmara explosion-proof photovoltaic panel manufacturer

Which solar power systems are ATEX approved?

JCE Group design and manufacture a portfolio of ATEX approved Solar Power Systems, with power ratings from 120 - 960W peak and output voltages ranging between 12 - 240V AC or DC. They are certified for use in Zone 1 and Zone 2 areas.

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 is ex solar PV system?

In tandem with the global shift towards sustainable practices, Ex solar PV system is an alternative and eco-friendly solution to provide power to O&G platforms.

Are ATEX solar panels explosion-proof?

Enhanced Safety Features: Standard panels do not need to be explosion-proof, meaning they lack safety features of ATEX and IECEx-certified panels. For instance, while a typical solar panel might house its electrical connections in standard junction boxes, ATEX panels use explosion-proof junction boxes.

Are solar panels ATEX certified?

The ATEX directive, from which European Union member regulations originate, sets strict essential health and safety requirements for equipment used in such environments. For a solar panel to be ATEX-certified, it must meet these high standards, ensuring it does not ignite potentially explosive atmospheres during operation.

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.
