Solar
Home System (20-140W)
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.
