Complete Stand Alone Solar Power System in a Weatherproof Enclosure.
Description
These weather-proof
systems are ideal for remote applications. If you have a radio,
monitoring device, Wi-Fi, security camera, telemetry, or lighting
application our pre-packaged solar electric systems are perfect
for your needs. They are also used in many custom applications where
12VDC, 24VDC or 120VAC is needed in a remote or portable environment.
Because these
systems are shipped as complete, easy to assemble systems, they
dramatically decrease the cost of installation. Just mount the solar
modules and enclosure and connect the components with standard conduit
and wiring. After that, you're ready to run your application with
little or no maintenance.

Field Proven
These self-contained
solar systems were designed for and have been rigorously tested
in extremely harsh environments to ensure reliable, trouble-free
operation. From broiling deserts to freezing mountains, these systems
have proven they can take the heat...and the cold.
Thousands of
these independent stand-alone solar systems have been deployed over
the past 15 years in locations around the world. Each component
is also completely factory tested prior to shipping, so you can
be assured that when your system arrives, it's ready for work.
Preferred
More engineers
choose these systems because they combine all the features they
need in one, safe, sealed, simple-to-install unit. That is why you'll
find these systems operating in every corner of the world, in every
type of climate.
Plug your project
into this solar system with NEMA rated enclosure and you'll never
have to worry about where your power is coming from again.
Features
include:
· High
efficiency solar panels with 20+ year warranty
· Heavy-duty aluminum mounting structure with stainless steel
hardware
· Weatherproof NEMA 3R durable powder-coated white aluminum
battery control and component enclosure, lockable
· Sealed gel cell, maintenance free, deep-cycle, non-spillable
batteries, UL Recognized
· Advanced PWM Charge Control, Class I Div II rated, with
low voltage load protection and temperature compensated battery
charging
· Extra room for your equipment - each system package has
roughly 12 cu/in of extra space in the electronics compartment.

What does
a Class I Div II hazardous location certified system mean to you?
It means that
one of the world's top safety testing labs, CSA, has independently
certified these systems as safe for use in the highest level of
hazardous locations such as a potentially explosive environment
where there is the possible presence of flammable gases, vapors
or liquids. This system line is the first solar power system in
the world to meet CSA's most rigorous Class 1 Div 2 hazardous location
safety standard.
Using these
systems insures - no matter what your location or application -
that you can safely and reliably generate electricity to power your
equipment anywhere the sun shines, even under the most hazardous
conditions.
These systems
are the only complete stand alone solar electric systems designed
for industrial, oil gas & mining and telecom applications that
can be approved for Class I, DIV. II hazardous locations (UL Pending).

Frequently
Asked Questions About
Remote Area Solar Power Systems
How do I
select the right solar power system for my remote application?
By using the system performance charts
for our RAPS systems. Calculate the power consumption of your
equipment, find the solar zone for your site, then easily locate
the system you need on our performance charts. We also have excellent
design software for a detailed performance analysis of your application.
Contact us if you need assistance.
Do you have
complete, packaged solar power systems with everything that I need?
Yes! Our RAPS Pole Mount
PM Series systems are designed
for low to medium power applications and include everything you
need for the installation, except the mounting pole or concrete
pad. Our larger RAPS Rapid Deployment RD
Series and our Ground Mount GM Series systems also include all
the components you need and are designed to operate in the harshest
of environments.
Do I need
to supply an outdoor enclosure for my equipment?
Not usually. Our RAPS PM Series
line of enclosures have an upper electronics compartment with plenty
of room for your equipment and a convenient space for mounting.
Our larger RAPS RD and GM
systems include electronic enclosures or walk-in shelters that have
plenty of room, even for your 19"-23" radio relay racks!
Contact us if you need assistance.
Are the solar
power systems relatively simple and fast to install?
Yes. We provide detailed installation manuals with easy to follow
instructions and wiring schematics. Many of the components are pre-assembled
and pre-wired allowing for rapid field deployment. Minor civil work
such as mounting poles or concrete pads may be required, but our
larger RAPS systems can mount directly to level ground. Contact
us if you need assistance.
What happens
during cloudy or rainy weather?
All our RAPS systems feature sealed, maintenance-free batteries
providing plenty of reserve power for rainy or cloudy weather and
night time operation.
Are there
complete solar systems that are Listed for use in Class
I, Div. II hazardous locations?
Yes! Our RAPS CIDII systems are the
only complete systems rated for use in Class
I, Div II Hazardous Locations, so you can operate your equipment
safely with solar power. For more information, click
here.
Do you have
solar power systems that are transportable or rapidly deployable?
Yes! Our RAPS RD Series systems
are available in a trailer version for the ultimate in transportability.
Our container and skid mounted RAPS RD systems are pre-racked,
pre-wired and pre-tested so the field installation is truly plug
and play. For more information, click
here.
