Overview

The nVent WM Solar Shield SW2LGLWH is a Type 4 and Type 12 wall-mount enclosure protector designed to shield outdoor electrical and electronic enclosures from extreme weather and solar heat gain. Engineered for harsh industrial environments, this 28.00 x 28.00 x 15.75 inch (711 x 711 x 400 mm) galvanized steel shield features a white powder-coated finish that reflects up to 56% of solar heat, validated by Hoffman’s solar radiation research. The 14-gauge galvanized steel construction ensures durability against sun, rain, snow, and debris, while its 360-degree coverage protects enclosures from top, sides, and rear. Two sets of fully-adjustable mounting channels accommodate most Concept, InLine, and NEMA Type 4 wall-mount enclosures, including Bulletin A51NF and A51FL models. Included mounting hardware and step-by-step instructions simplify installation. Ideal for manufacturing plants, utilities, telecommunications, transportation, and renewable energy facilities, this shield extends equipment lifespan and reduces maintenance costs by protecting inverters, junction boxes, and control panels from excessive heat and corrosive environments.
