A compact, safety-certified power solution for hazardous locations, the SolarTech Power SPM020P-BP delivers 20W of reliable energy with a Class 1 Division 2 (C1D2) Groups C and D rating. Featuring a thicker 50mm frame for enhanced durability, this panel is designed for use in environments where flammable gases, vapors, or liquids may be present, making it ideal for industrial monitoring, remote instrumentation, and safety systems in refineries, chemical plants, and processing facilities.
Key Features & Benefits
Hazardous Location Certified: Class 1 Division 2 (C1D2) Groups C and D rating allows safe installation in areas where flammable gases or vapors (such as ethylene, propane, and similar hydrocarbons) may be present under abnormal conditions.
Heavy-Duty 50mm Frame: Features an extra-thick 50mm anodized aluminum frame, providing enhanced structural integrity and durability for demanding industrial environments.
20W Power Output for Compact Applications: Provides reliable power for 12V applications including remote sensors, SCADA equipment, small valve actuators, tank monitors, and backup power for safety systems.
Tool-Accessible Terminal Block: Features a junction box with terminals accepting 8-14 AWG wire, allowing for field wiring without special connectors and simplifying installation in industrial settings.
36-Cell Polycrystalline Design: Utilizes 36 narrow cells (156mm x 26mm) arranged in a 3x12 series matrix, delivering reliable 12V nominal power in a compact 16.5" x 19.8" footprint.
Durable Construction: Built with high-transmission 3.2mm tempered glass, double-layer EVA encapsulation, white polyester back cover with Tedlar, and an anodized aluminum frame for long-lasting outdoor industrial performance.
Schottky Bypass Diodes: Integrated bypass diodes minimize power loss from partial shading, ensuring consistent performance in real-world industrial environments.
600V System Compatibility: Maximum system voltage of 600V DC allows for flexible array configurations in smaller industrial systems.
Weather-Resistant Junction Box: IP65-rated junction box constructed with UL94-5VA flame-retardant material for enhanced safety and durability in outdoor industrial conditions.
