Energy & Renewables | Conformal Coating, Parylene & ProShieldESD
Protecting Power Electronics in Harsh, High-Demand Environments
Our energy & renewables conformal coating and Parylene solutions protect inverters, converters, BMS,
chargers, switchgear, and control electronics from moisture, heat, corrosives, and static. We combine robust liquid coatings, ultra-thin Parylene, and facility-level ESD control to improve reliability, uptime, and safety across solar, wind, grid, and storage.
For reference frameworks, see IPC, IEC (e.g., IEC 60664 insulation coordination), ESD Association (ANSI/ESD S20.20), and safety standards such as UL 1741 / IEC 62109 (project-specific).

Standards & Compliance (IPC / IEC / UL / ESD)
Our energy and renewables programmes align with recognised standards and customer specifications:
IPC guidelines incl. IPC-CC-830 and IPC-A-610 (project-specific)- IEC (IEC 60664 insulation coordination for HV design)
- UL 1741 / IEC 62109 (safety of power converters) โ project-specific compliance
- ESD Association โ ANSI/ESD S20.20 compliant control programmes
Energy/Renewables Coating Process
- Assessment & Selection: environment, HV constraints, materials & verification plan
- Masking & Prep: custom boots/shapes/tapes, cleaning, bake-out
- Application: selective spray, dip, or Parylene deposition with in-process controls
- Cure & De-mask: thermal/UV cure, careful removal, touch-up as required
- Inspection & Test: thickness, adhesion (cross-hatch), ionic & visual checks
- Documentation: travellers, inspection records, quality packs
Benefits of Energy & Renewables Conformal Coating
- Increased reliability and uptime in harsh outdoor conditions
- Thin, lightweight protection vs. bulky encapsulation
- Better HV spacing support with uniform dielectrics
- Documented, traceable processes for audits and compliance
Example Application / Case Study
Objective: Protect utility-scale inverter control boards from condensation and pollutants
Approach: Silicone coat on power/control PCBs; Parylene C on sensors/connectors; verified to IEC 60664 creepage/clearance targets- Result: Improved field reliability and reduced corrosion-related failures

FAQs
What thickness do you recommend for energy/renewables electronics?
Typically 25โ50ยตm for liquid coatings; 10โ20ยตm for Parylene. Final values depend on environment, HV spacing, and dielectric targets.
Will coatings affect heat dissipation?
We select chemistries and thicknesses that balance protection with thermal performance; we also keep heatsinks and thermal paths masked and clear.
How do you support high-voltage creepage/clearance?
We design masks/fixtures and selective paths to preserve spacing while protecting critical areas. Documentation and inspection confirm compliance.
