    Ingelec

    Ingelec is a Moroccan manufacturer of low-voltage electrical products. Our Best Value selection focuses on the physical installation: empty Metalbox enclosures, mounting plates, trunking and cable trays. These parts support solar and maintenance work by housing equipment and organizing its wiring.

    01 / Who they are

    From switches to a broader installation portfolio.

    Founded in Morocco in 1975 by the Sekkat family, Ingelec began by manufacturing switches, drawing on its existing plastics experience. It expanded into low-voltage installation and distribution products. That electrical-installation history explains its place in our solar catalogue: enclosures and cable-management parts support the surrounding installation. Its published history does not date a dedicated photovoltaic product launch. Our listed Metalbox units are empty enclosures, not manufacturer-assembled solar AC/DC protection boxes.

    Moroccan company origin. The supplied reference and its records identify the manufacturing origin of each item.

    How the installation business developed.

    The business grew from switches into a wider electrical portfolio. Dated catalogues document the installation families relevant to our selection; their publication dates are evidence of availability in those records, rather than first-production dates.

    No verified public annual revenue series through 2025 was identified. These milestones describe business development; no revenue chart is inferred from company size or catalogue breadth.

    Business milestones

    1. Switch manufacturing begins

      The company starts with switches, applying the family’s plastics experience to electrical products.

    2. A documented installation portfolio

      The Industry and IPS catalogues bring together enclosures, mounting hardware, trunking and cable routes. This documents complementary families, not a complete solar protection assembly.

    3. Metalbox technical record updated

      The 27 January datasheet states IP55 ingress and IK10 impact classifications for the enclosure. Those ratings describe its envelope, not the electrical protection of a populated assembly.

    02 / Technology

    Installation families and their roles

    Selected developments in the brand’s specialty, not a complete history or catalog.

    For this installation range, the important advances are practical differences in construction and function. The records establish the families and their characteristics; they do not establish a launch year for every reference.

    Authenticated Metalbox manufacturer example
    Metalbox example; not every variant

    Metalbox

    Empty steel enclosures

    The listed cabinets range from 400 × 300 × 200 to 800 × 600 × 260 mm. IP55 and IK10 describe ingress and impact resistance. Their powder-coated RAL 7035 steel envelope receives separately selected equipment.

    Choose space for equipment, cable entries and later access.

    An IP rating does not establish suitability for every outdoor or corrosive environment.

    Authenticated PP manufacturer example

    PP

    Perforated mounting plates

    Galvanized 2 mm plates provide a mounting surface inside the matching cabinet. PP0504 fits the 500 × 400 mm Metalbox, while the plate itself is 460 × 340 mm. The enclosure size and plate size are different measurements.

    Match the cabinet reference before laying out the equipment.

    A perforated plate is a support, not a DIN-rail chassis or a protective device.

    Authenticated G manufacturer example
    G example; not every variant

    G

    Slotted wiring ducts

    G4040 to G8080 offer 40 × 40 to 80 × 80 mm sections with covers. Side slots let control wiring branch toward terminals inside an enclosure, a different role from a long supported cable route.

    Plan wire fill and access to terminals.

    These internal wiring ducts are not presented as weatherproof external cable trays.

    PVC skirting trunking and fittings

    The 60 × 40 mm trunking uses dedicated internal, external, flat and T angles plus an end cap. The 2022 IPS catalogue gives IP40 and IK07; an older standalone sheet gives IP43. Use the document supplied for the finished configuration.

    Keep corners and terminations in the same 60 × 40 family.

    PVC trunking is not automatically rated for exposed rooftop PV wiring.

    Authenticated N / NC manufacturer example
    N / NC example; not every variant

    N / NC

    Perforated steel cable trays and covers

    The listed trays span 65 × 33 to 305 × 63 mm. Wider references also change sheet thickness: 0.5, 0.8 or 1 mm across our selection. Covers are separate references; 125/33NC is not assumed to fit a 125/63N tray just because both are 125 mm wide.

    Select the support span, load and cover from the exact reference table.

    Galvanizing alone does not establish marine suitability or a universal load capacity.

    Key terms

    Short definitions for the names used in this guide.

    IP / IK
    IP concerns ingress; IK concerns mechanical impact. Neither number is a current rating or a complete assembly approval.
    CM / PP / G / P / N / NC
    These reference families distinguish a cabinet, plate, slotted duct, skirting trunking, tray and cover. Dimensions and suffixes still need to match.

    Names identify a family; the complete SKU identifies the component.

    03 / What stands behind the brand

    Best Value

    What supports our Best Value selection.

    Practical construction details and matching references matter more than a generic quality label.

    Best Value is ReneWave’s positioning for this selection. The documented installation features explain our choice; final prices are confirmed in the quote.

    A defined enclosure envelope

    The Metalbox sheet states IP55 and IK10 and describes the cable-entry arrangement. This helps qualify the empty cabinet before equipment and penetrations change the finished assembly.

    Mounting dimensions you can match

    The plate table distinguishes cabinet size from actual plate dimensions. PP0504’s 460 × 340 mm support makes the available mounting area explicit instead of treating the cabinet’s outside dimensions as usable space.

    Several cable-management functions

    Slotted ducts organize internal wiring; skirting trunking finishes surface routes; metal trays carry supported cable runs. Selecting by function avoids using one material or shape for every part of the installation.

    These records support a component-level selection. They do not establish measured lifetime, a guaranteed installation price or faster warranty handling.

    05 / Warranty & buyer questions

    Warranty and after-sales

    A manufacturer commercial warranty is separate from legal protection against defects. The reviewed documents do not confirm an additional manufacturer warranty duration for this selection.

    Additional commercial warranty

    Any additional commercial warranty must be expressly stated in the written offer for the exact item, with its duration and conditions. An IP55 or IK10 classification does not itself promise warranty coverage.

    Your rights and after-sales contact

    The absence of an additional manufacturer warranty does not remove applicable legal rights. Contact ReneWave if you believe an item was supplied with a defect. Any installation or assembly service has its own agreed scope.

    Questions before you buy

    No. Our listed references are empty cabinets. AC/DC protective devices, terminals, cable entries and any assembly service need their own specification and quotation.

    They can serve as enclosure, mounting and cable-management components when the exact reference suits the environment and assembly. That role does not make a PVC duct or empty cabinet a PV-rated protective device.

    Family construction and suffixes also matter. A plate is sized for its cabinet; a cover must match the tray profile. Our 125/33NC cover is not automatically paired with a 125/63N tray.

    Each product page links to the retained manufacturer sheets or catalogue. The Technical Library groups the same references and offers PDF viewing and downloading. Verified Ingelec documents for this selection are in French.
