MAPPS Pole Mount Solar Battery System
When one of the world's largest utilities needs their remote power problems
solved, they turn to Solar Electric Supply! We were asked to provide a solar power solution for a utility smart gas meter reader MDS radio communication
system. This is a radio communication system for automatically reading PG&E gas "Smart
Meters" at customer facilities. These are deployed in urban areas to read
residential and commercial smart meters. The MAPPS systems are placed on
PG&E owned light poles and utility towers and power the radios that gather
the local data and send back to headquarters for billing. SES designed
special mounting brackets to accommodate the various pole sizes.
This particular system is called the MAPPS 90-108-12-120, with optional AC to DC
sine wave inverter.
The main components supplied by Solar Electric Supply consist of:
- Monocrystalline solar module
- PWM or MPPT charge controller
- Deka sealed gel deep-cycle solar battery for 12 VDC nominal
- NEMA 3 or NEMA 4 weatherproof enclosure
- Solar Electric Supply system design and support
Our MAPPS systems are designed by NAPCEP certified egineers with the highest quality components and standards.
