 This
is the bottom of the range, it is basically a
low cost option for people that do not have access
to mains electricity and is aimed to provide power
for low power lights and a fan or low power radio
or TV.
The base unit consists of the following:
- Solar Panel
- Charge controller
- Battery
The Solar Home System is a complete source of
battery power which comes in a number of models
to meet your power needs. The base system is powered
by a 20Wp solar panel which may be upgraded to
140Wp if required. Battery capacity is 70Ah which
is upgradeable to 100Ah if required. This fully
integrated unit quietly generated DC electricity
(AC also if you have the inverter option) to run
small appliances such as lights, small televisions,
fans and laptop computers.
The Solar Home System is recharged from a solar
module. A controller monitors the charge to avoid
under and over charging the battery, and a meter
displays how much charge is in the battery. The
AC model includes an internally mounted inverter
that changes DC electricity to AC electricity
for use with most appliances. The externally mounted
rocker switch lets you turn the inverter off an
on as needed. The AC unit includes one 220VAC
socket with an outdoor cover as well as a 12VDC
socket mounted in the end panel. The base unit
comes with two DC sockets for 12V loads. Options
are higher Wp panels size, increase in battery
size and inverter sizes of 150W or 250W.
The Solar Home System never needs fuel, is absolutely
silent, and requires little maintenance. This
solar generator is housed in a weather resistant
and secure metal enclosure. All you need to do
is plug the solar panel into the enclosure to
charge the battery. Once the battery is charged,
you are ready to go. |
