Renewable Energy GRP & Fibreglass Parts - Composite Solutions for Energy Sector

As governmental and social responsibility continue to drive growth of the renewable energy sector, GRP is a durable material which is well suited to the demands for many applications.

Quantum were one of the first UK companies to supply parts made from resins and foams with recycled PET content.

Composite Components for Renewable Energy Applications Renewable energy composites cover a wide range of parts: EV charger housings, wind turbine components, solar mounting structures and other outdoor infrastructure. Composite turbine components suit nacelles, covers and structural fittings, while GRP's low weight and corrosion resistance make it well suited to solar mounts and roadside or offshore infrastructure exposed to the elements.
	Renewable Energy Use Case Examples Quantum’s moulding and laminating expertise applies to turbine components, including nacelle covers, and to broader renewable applications such as wind turbine blade manufacturing, tidal turbine blades and GRP hydro components.
Wind Turbine Covers Working with a company that delivers high quality parts without compromise, time and time again, is critical to the requirements of energy projects. Quantum has manufactured wind turbine nose cones (also known as spinners) used in turbine assemblies and other turbine components installed in numerous countries worldwide, meeting stringent safety and durability requirements. With long-lasting components, a wind turbine gives back far more to the environment than it has taken over its lifetime, underlining the importance of durability and reliability in every GRP part we make. Case Study
	EV Chargers The expertise that Quantum has gained in industrial, electrical and automotive parts means that we understand the needs for this sector, and are a safe choice to support customers that want to be a known as the best in their field. In particular, panels can be designed to withstand the rigours of outdoor exposure whilst providing the necessary electrical and fire resistance. Gelcoat finishes can be coloured to reflect corporate branding or utilising bright colours for safety, for example when installed roadside.
Using GRP & Fibreglass for Renewable Energy GRP can be specified to resist weather, UV and salt spray, holding its finish through years of outdoor exposure. Its low weight eases handling and installation on wind turbines, towers and remote sites, cutting crane time and installation cost. Long service life reduces maintenance and replacement across a renewable asset's operational lifetime, a key factor for offshore and hard-to-access installations.
	Renewable Energy Manufacturing Capabilities Quantum moulds complex, aerodynamic and structural shapes not achievable in sheet metal, using hand lay-up, spray lay or closed-mould RTM Lite depending on the part. Materials are chosen for weather performance: UV-stable gelcoats, corrosion-resistant materials and, where needed, fire-retardant additives. Precision moulding and finishing keep tolerances and cosmetic standards consistent, part after part.
Performance & Lifetime Considerations Renewable energy components face years of UV exposure, temperature swings and harsh weather, often in remote or offshore locations. A GRP part’s gelcoat can be chosen for UV stability, helping colour and surface finish to hold up over time. Resistance to thermal cycling, from freezing nights to hot days, can be designed into the laminate to avoid cracking or delamination over the component's working life.
