Energy storage projects fail in the field when the hardware holding them together wasn’t built for the conditions. Corrosion, thermal stress, and water ingress degrade enclosures and structural components that weren’t specified or finished correctly, and those failures drive down long-term ROI.

Phoenix Metal fabricates ruggedized housings, mounting structures, and high-conductivity components for energy storage and renewable installations, including outdoor weatherproof cabinets, electrical control boxes, NEMA 3R housings, and utility-scale battery housings built to withstand deployment conditions.

Components for Power Conversion

Power conversion equipment sits at the center of every battery energy storage system. The enclosures protecting that equipment must be dimensionally accurate, properly grounded, and sealed against moisture ingress.

We fabricate:

  • Electrical control boxes in mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminum
  • Outdoor weatherproof cabinets for grid-tied and off-grid storage installations
  • NEMA 3R housings for inverter and switchgear protection
  • Custom cutouts, PEM inserts, and threaded features machined to spec

Our laser cutting systems hold tight tolerances across stainless steel and aluminum sheet from 0.020″ to 0.500″. For procurement managers sourcing at volume, Phoenix Metal handles both prototype and production runs with lead times typically in the 4–6-week range, roughly half of what many regional fabricators quote.

Solar Tracking and Racking Structural Parts

Solar tracking systems take a beating. Wind loads, UV exposure, and seasonal temperature swings impose continuous stress on structural components; the steel and aluminum holding panels in position must perform reliably over decades of field exposure.

Phoenix Metal produces:

  • Galvanized and powder-coated mounting brackets for ground and roof arrays
  • Structural channels and frames for single-axis and fixed-tilt racking systems
  • Custom punched and formed parts to match project-specific load requirements

Our metal fabrication capabilities include punching, forming, and welding across a full range of steel and aluminum profiles. We work from customer-supplied CAD files in standard formats, including .dxf, .stp, and native SolidWorks and AutoCAD files. Our engineering team can review designs for manufacturability before the first part is cut.

Design engineers specifying racking components benefit from early involvement with our team. We identify fit and tolerance issues upstream, not on the job site.

Custom Thermal Management and Ventilation Housings

Heat kills batteries. The enclosures around battery modules and BMS electronics need controlled airflow, proper venting, and dimensional accuracy to support internal cooling architecture.

We fabricate utility-scale battery housing panels and ventilated enclosures with:

  • Precision-formed louvered vents and perforated panels
  • Tight bend tolerances for sealing surface integrity
  • Aluminum and galvanized steel material options matched to thermal conductivity and corrosion requirements

Our metal stamping and forming equipment handles the repeatable, high-volume output that battery enclosure programs typically require. Every component is inspected against your engineering drawings prior to shipment under Phoenix Metal’s ISO 9001:2015 quality system.

Advanced Finishing for Outdoor Longevity

A well-fabricated enclosure fails prematurely if the finish wasn’t selected for the deployment environment. Coastal installations, industrial zones, and high-humidity climates all accelerate corrosion on unprotected steel.

Phoenix Metal was one of the first fabricators in the region to adopt powder coating as a primary finishing capability. Our pretreat wash system and cure oven handle both standard and custom color specifications at production volume.

For energy storage and renewables applications, we recommend:

  • Polyester powder coat: Standard outdoor weatherproof cabinets and NEMA 3R housings
  • TGIC-based formulas: UV-intensive solar environments
  • Zinc-rich primer base coats: Structural steel components requiring extended field life

Access to our local subcontractor network, including plating, e-coating, and heat treating, enables us to coordinate multi-step surface treatments without adding complexity to your supply chain.

Specify Your Energy Storage Components With Phoenix Metal

Outdoor weatherproof cabinets, electrical control boxes, NEMA 3R housings, and utility-scale battery housings must perform in unforgiving conditions. The fabrication quality, material selection, and finishing process determine whether that hardware lasts two years or twenty.

Phoenix Metal brings 45+ years of fabrication experience, ISO 9001:2015 certification, and full in-house capability across cutting, forming, stamping, welding, and powder coating to every energy storage and renewables project.
