Stronger Materials, Longer Service Life
Greenlight Power recently launched its redesigned electrical panelboards featuring galvalume sheet metal chassis, offering customers improved durability and cost-efficiency.
Proven Protection of Panelboards Against Harsh Elements
The new panelboards incorporate Galvalume—a specialized aluminum zinc and silicon alloy coating that substantially increases corrosion resistance in various environments. Field testing has demonstrated up to 30% longer service life in coastal areas and industrial settings where moisture and chemical exposure often accelerate the deterioration of standard panelboards.
This new panelboard design recognizes customers across different industries facing unique environmental challenges that require adaptive design based on these challenges. Developing a more resilient chassis isn’t just about better materials—it represents our commitment to continuous improvement and responding to real-world installation needs.
The Old vs. The New: Real Improvements
The new galvalume chassis design represents a substantial improvement over the previous welded interior chassis. Where the old design required extensive welding that created vulnerability points for rust and corrosion, the new galvalume panels utilize a bolted assembly method that eliminates these weak spots entirely. Additionally, the inherent corrosion resistance of the galvalume material eliminates the need for powder coating—a time-consuming production step previously required for rust prevention. This streamlined manufacturing process not only improves durability but also reduces production time and resource usage.
The enhanced chassis design maintains compatibility with all standard circuit breakers while providing improved internal component protection and easier installation due to the reinforced mounting brackets and clearly marked connection points.
Quality That Makes a Difference
As the electrical industry continues to evolve, innovations like Greenlight’s Galvalume integrated panelboards demonstrate how thoughtful engineering can address long-standing challenges. By focusing on materials and durable design improvements, Greenlight has created a product that serves the fundamental need for reliable, long-lasting electrical infrastructure—an investment that pays through years of dependable service.
