Solar Power System for Off-Grid Remote Deployment
One of the challenges in long-distance network deployments is the lack of power supplies, while the solar power system can provide a more efficient, affordable, and environmentally friendly solution for applications such as oil and gas, construction sites, parking lots, remote gates and ranches. A complete solar power system is made up of a solar panel (more will be needed for power-hungry applications), a rechargeable battery and most importantly, the solar charge controller. The solar charge controller is an intelligent device that takes charge of the connections of the entire system to maintain power reliability, security, and efficiency.
The solar charge controller is an essential part to connect the solar panel and the battery. When the voltage of the battery is higher than that of the solar panel, electricity will flow backward since electricity always flows from high voltage to low voltage, the solar controller can regulate the amount of charge coming in and out of the battery and make sure the battery is not overcharged or undercharged. And it also helps to prevent the powered device from endless rebooting when the power tank is empty. You can set up an on and off threshold on the controller so it can automatically disconnect the power streams to the battery when the voltage falls below a certain threshold.
And there are two main types of solar charge controllers available in the market: PWM and MPPT solar controllers, The PWM is a switch used to connect the solar panel and the battery to control the battery charging, but by using this controller, the voltage of the solar panel will be dragged down to that of the battery, which makes it more ideal for a low-power-consumption system (12V) where only one or two solar panels are connected. The MPPT solar controller can regulate the input voltage to harvest the maximum power from the solar panel and deliver this energy to the battery of various voltage requirements, ideal for high-power systems where more solar panels are deployed.
Rugged Solar Controller for Harsh Environments
The newly released 10A Solar Charge Controller is a PWM solar control that comes with a fanless design, featuring a vast operating temperature range from -30℃ to 70℃, which makes it ideal for outdoor deployments in places where there is no power present. Covered in an IP68-rated waterproof design, it can remain fully operational when exposed to water spray, rain or condensation. The 10A Solar Charge Controller is equipped with LED indicators, unlimited parallel capability, and automatic battery voltage recognition from 12V DC to 24V DC to help you set up a solar power system in remote places. It can be of great help in preventing the battery from overcharging, over-discharging and reverse currents to solar panels during the night. What’s more, it’s highly compatible with both PoE and fiber technologies to extend the network over long distances.
MPPT Solar Controller Designed for Large-Scale Solar Energy Harvest
20A Solar Charge Controller is an MPPT solar controller that is specially designed for large systems where more energy harvesting is worthwhile. Compared with a PWM controller, the MPPT controller will yield higher returns as the panel voltage increases, so a large proportion of all energy from sunlight can be efficiently converted into electricity. To meet the increasing demand for a more cost-effective solar charger for 12V/24V battery systems and maximize the power generated by the solar panels, this 20A Solar Charge Controller supports a maximum solar panel array of 240W or 480W and a PV open circuit voltage of 100V. It can work with various battery options such as Gel and lithium and work under a wide temperature range of -35℃ ~ 55℃. In addition, we also launched a solar controller with a significantly higher output current of up to 40A. The 40A Solar Charge Controller features a solar panel array of 960W to deliver dedicated power supplies for 24V battery systems.
Advanced PoE Surge Protectors for Lightning Protection
A surge protector, also known as the surge suppressor, is an electrical device used to regulate abnormal electrical currents and mitigate over-voltages. It’s normally used to protect both the communication and power lines of the PoE device so as to guarantee a safe and reliable network connection in places where lightning is often present. Recently, Fastcabling has introduced two new types of surge protectors for outdoor network deployments.
Din Rail Industrial RJ45 PoE Surge Protector
