Custom Enclosures for the Solar Energy Industry

Custom enclosures for the solar energy industry are a great way to optimize your system. An enclosure can protect sensitive components from harsh weather conditions and other external factors. It can also provide structural support and organize all of your components in one easy-to-access package.

Buckeye Shapeform enclosures can be tailored specifically to fit the needs of your particular system and can provide additional features, such as custom-sized components that eliminate the need for welding. With a custom enclosure, you can get the most out of your system and ensure it runs at peak performance. Investing in a custom enclosure for your solar energy system is an easy way to increase the lifespan of your components and improve the overall efficiency of your setup.

“After receiving the production prototype for QA (quality assurance), I realized we made the right decision in going with Buckeye Shapeform. Every aspect of the resulting equipment was either as expected or better. It was a truly professional job at a cost much less than expected.”

—Bruce Laurian, Citywide ATM Chief Technical Officer

Why Partner with Buckeye Shapeform?

Solar energy industry leaders looking to increase innovation should partner with Buckeye Shapeform for precision enclosures and other deep draw products.

Innovation

We are able to continually innovate with an experienced design team, the latest emerging design and fabrication technologies, and a high level of engineering expertise.

Performance

We offer the best quality and durability, the tightest of tolerances, and endless shapes and sizes, as well as economy in multiple test, measurement and technology applications.

Customization

From our diverse off-the-shelf enclosure line to our ability to design and create any type of metal or plastic component, we can deliver what you need—when you need it.

What We Offer for Solar Industry Leaders

Rackmount enclosures are great for larger solar energy systems. They provide a secure mounting solution and help organize components, eliminating the need to install multiple separate enclosures.

Our enclosures provide extensive benefits for those in working in the solar energy industry, including:

Extrusions are custom designed to fit the exact size and shape of your battery packs, providing maximum protection for your components.
Enclosures provide a secure solution for protecting electronics from dust and water. This is especially important in outdoor solar energy systems where unprotected components can be susceptible to harsh weather conditions.
Tubular extrusion creates a seamless enclosure that fits small battery pack units, eliminating the need for welding.
Powder coating is a great way to protect your enclosures from corrosion while also giving them an attractive finish.

Your Product, Your Choice of Metal

Deep draw products undergo innovative integrity-testing procedures, but they are virtually flawless—with no seams or welds—and can be created from a variety of metals, including:

Aluminum
Copper
Brass
Mild (cold rolled) steel
Precious metals
Any ductile material

Aluminum is an ideal choice for protecting vital components in the solar energy industry because it is lightweight and offers superior strength and durability. It is corrosion-resistant, cost-effective, and can be easily customized to meet your exact requirements. Additionally, it provides excellent heat dissipation, which helps keep sensitive equipment cool even in high temperatures. The final aluminum product is also strong and ductile, and reduces vibration.
