Ex Proof Solar Battery Systems

Autonomous Off-Grid Power Solutions Certified for ATEX / IECEx Zone 1, 2, 21, and 22

Explosion-Proof Solar & Hazardous Area Battery Systems

Prolux International design, engineer, assemble and distribute high-reliability, anti-static solar panels  and custom Battery banks . Engineered in partnership with global battery and solar pioneers like EMECRON, our systems deliver uninterrupted power in volatile industrial environments. Built with marine-grade materials and premium thermal management, these systems withstand extreme environmental conditions from -60°C to +60°C.

Explosion-Proof Solar PV Modules

Prolux engineered solar panels provide autonomous power for remote installations in offshore platforms, Rigs, oil & gas pipelines, remote control stations etc. to power up instrumentation, signaling, SCADA networks and lighting installed in hazardous classified areas. By utilizing specialized encapsulation (Ex mb) and increased-safety (Ex eb) protections, along with mechanical impact resistance to prevent internal electrical short circuits, fire or sparks that trigger atmospheric explosions. Preventing cell degradation under severe conditions, our solar panels with Ex-Proof solar inverters work seamlessly maintaining system balance, providing reliable standalone power infrastructure for remote operations alongside Explosion-Proof HVAC Systems  and  Explosion-Proof LED Lighting networks.

Hazardous Area Battery Enclosures & Systems

Our ATEX / IECEx Certified explosion proof battery enclosure configurations secure critical backup power fields and energy storage paths installed in Hazardous area zones. Housed inside robust, high-integrity Explosion-Proof Enclosures manufactured from marine-grade 316L Stainless Steel, and with enhanced Exe / Exnr protections, these assemblies ensure safe and ignition restricted operation of battery cells  in highly explosive area Zone 2 and environments with corrosive chemical vapours and saline offshore environments. BMS and thermal runaway protections also provided to mitigate risks for higher capacity battery banks.

Core Industrial Applications

Upstream Oil & Gas Exploration

Offshore drilling platforms, wellhead control panels, and cross-country gas pipeline monitoring stations. Ideal for providing uninterrupted power backups to remote SCADA systems and distributed Explosion-Proof Control Panels in upstream sectors, securing auxiliary power delivery lines for complex industrial Switchgear Assembly setups in high-risk zones.

Chemical & Petrochemical Processing

Refineries, chemical storage terminal perimeters, and volatile fuel loading bays.

MOVs, RTUs, Remote Process skids

 To power up MOVs of cross country pipelines, remote technical units, stand along process / injection skids.

Remote Analytical Frameworks

Our high-capacity solar and battery assemblies are engineered to provide reliable, autonomous power loops for remote Explosion Proof analyser cabins and continuous emission monitoring systems (CEMS) where main grid lines cannot reach.
