When the sun goes down, battery storage technology is a reliable solution to harness its power and provide generated energy. Wescor Electrical has the solution for the off-grid battery installers.
With a focus on research and development, Wescor Electrical aims to provide customers with state-of-the-art solar systems built for future energy demands and new technology.
It is through this focus that Wescor Electrical Director Wesley Corbet designed the Wescor battery and equipment enclosure for lithium-ion applications in 2020.
The cabinet was designed for Wescor Electrical battery installations, due to a cabinet of this design’s scarce availability that was suitable for a variety of lithium-ion batteries.
The Wescor cabinets are made specifically for the solar industry with an aim to make installations safer and easier for consumers.
Each cabinet is generally sold as an empty unit to other installers to install equipment of their choice to suit their battery installations.
There are also options for Wescor Electrical to provide a completed system to other installers.
Some of its features include a 19-inch rack which mounts with slide-in shelves for battery module mounting, a universal racking system for battery brands such as BYD Flex 5.0, Pylontech US3000C and US5000B.
With a full aluminium design and stainless-steel bolts fittings installed throughout the design, the Wescor equipment cabinets are easy to position and provides a long service life.
The cabinets are also sized to enable mounting of all inverters and charge controllers in the same panel. This makes the installation safer, while keeping all equipment out of sight and protected from the elements.
The system also includes a three-point locking system, rain protected vents to facilitate passive and forced ventilation with removable covers.
Within each cabinet, there is a document pocket on the inside of the door for easy access. Dust filters are also installed on the inlet outlet vents, with all ventilation fans installed as standard.
There are also punched aluminium screens covering all openings to prevent any unwanted entry by insects.
Paired with an internal circuit breaker section for individual battery module isolation, the Wescor solar battery and equipment enclosure is a system built for the future.
In the three years since its launch, the Wescor cabinet has evolved to have four different sizes, with two new designs on the horizon.
A family-owned business first established in 2009, Wescor Electrical is based in Gympie, Queensland (QLD) and has sold and installed solar power systems for over 14 years.
Led by Corbet, who has over 30 years of experience within the electrical industry, the company has installed over 2500 systems across the Cooloola, Wide Bay Burnett, Sunshine Coast and Brisbane regions in QLD.
