Cortem - PFV-EX

Cortem PFV-Ex is a high-performance photovoltaic panel designed for use in hazardous areas (ATEX / IECEx). It enables safe generation of electrical energy in Zones 1, 2, 21, and 22 and forms a key part of the autonomous Green Energy Ex solar systems.

The solution is designed for industrial applications where energy independence, high reliability, and maximum operational safety are required.

Key Advantages

• High efficiency of photovoltaic cells – PFV-Ex panels achieve an efficiency of up to 20.48%, allowing for maximum utilization of available solar energy and higher energy yield even in limited installation spaces.

• Long lifespan and high reliability – Quality workmanship, the use of premium materials, and attention to every production detail ensure long-term stable performance and minimal maintenance requirements.

• Resistance to extreme conditions – These photovoltaic panels are designed for operation in demanding industrial conditions. The construction is certified to withstand snow loads up to 5,400 Pa and wind loads up to 3,600 Pa. It has also successfully passed hail resistance tests with hailstone diameters of 35 mm at speeds up to 97 km/h.

• Certified fire resistance – The panels meet the Class A fire classification, representing the highest level of resistance against fire spread.

• High return on investment – A low power degradation rate of just 0.45% per year contributes to long-term high system efficiency and lower levelized cost of energy (LCOE).
