PRESS RELEASE
Aberdeen, UK – 4 September, 2025 – JCE Group, a leader in engineered solutions for hazardous areas, is unveiling its new multi-functional Solar Power Pod at Offshore Europe 2025. Developed fully in-house, the new design marks a step forward in renewable energy solutions for remote, off-grid, and hazardous environments.
Engineered with adaptability and simplicity at its core, the Solar Power Pod moves away from previous iterations that required different frame designs for each configuration. The new version uses a single, standardised frame that can accommodate a range of batteries and multiple solar panels. This streamlines engineering and production, reduces costs, and allows faster delivery to clients. Adjustable mounting brackets also enable solar panels to be positioned at any angle by a single installer, making deployment easier and more efficient.
For operators, the result is a robust, low-maintenance, and cost-effective solution. The simplified design reduces components and fixings, improving durability and making installation straightforward. Once deployed, the pod requires minimal maintenance. Proven in the field with major energy service providers worldwide, it is certified for Zone 1 and Zone 2 hazardous areas, including hydrogen atmospheres. This certification reinforces JCE’s engineering credibility and ensures operators can deploy the pod confidently in the harshest and most regulated environments.
Designed to be multi-functional, the pod can power a wide range of critical devices and systems in remote locations. Current applications include downhole monitoring sensors, CCTV systems, communications networks, and pipeline corrosion monitoring, among others. By powering essential monitoring and digital infrastructure, it supports safe, unmanned, and data-driven operations in offshore and industrial environments. Its portability also makes it suitable for relocation to different sites.
“The Solar Power Pod demonstrates how JCE is building on decades of hazardous-area expertise to shape the future of renewable power in demanding environments,” said Jim Craig, Chairman of JCE Group. “It reflects our long-term commitment to delivering solutions that strengthen resilience, lower lifecycle costs, and support the industry’s transition to safer, more sustainable, and digitally connected operations.”
JCE is showcasing the Solar Power Pod at Stand 3H45 during Offshore Europe 2025, where live demonstrations will highlight its use in powering a variety of devices and systems. Technical experts will be available throughout the event to discuss applications and answer questions from operators across the energy sector.
