Our self
install 'SunPower' kits provide you with a professionally designed and robust
system that provides off-grid electrical power for lighting and many other
applications where and when you need it.
Using
simple step-by-step instructions, once installed, the system is totally automatic
with no maintenance requirements.
SunPower
Kits - How do they Work?
High efficiency
solar photovoltaic panels convert sunlight into electrical power. This power
is then stored in 'deep-cycle' storage batteries for later use. A controller
automatically ensures the batteries are maintained in optimum condition and
help to maximise the power available from the solar panels.

Solar
Panels
We use either
high efficiency polycrystalline or monocrystalline framed solar panels with
excellent bright sunlight and overcast conditions performance.
These panels are made with a stiff aluminium frame and faced with a tough self-cleaning
glass capable of withstanding 100mph 1-inch hailstones.They come with 20+ year
manufacturer performance guarantees
Additionally
our chosen controller’s feature:
Deep-Cycle
Storage Batteries
Unlike car
batteries or leisure batteries, deep-cycle storage batteries can be charged
and deep-discharged (up to 80% of their rated capacity) many times. They can
withstand extremes of temperatures and require no maintenance.
The POWER SOLAR SERIES is a range of Advanced GEL VRLA batteries that will provide
the user with long service life. This is made possible because power battery
uses the Advanced GEL design, which combines the best features of AGM and GEL
construction into one battery. The result is a battery, which has a wide range
of capabilities and will endure temperature extremes better than traditional
GEL and AGM batteries.

Controller/Regulator
There are
three main benefits in using a correctly matched battery controller/regulator:
Cabling
& Connectors
All solar
cabling is specified to be UV, IR and weatherproof. Industry standard multi-contact
connectors ensure that all connections exposed to outdoors conditions are safe,
secure and robust.
Use of multi-contact connectors also greatly facilitates installation.
Weatherproof
Housing
The all weather battery box holds
the battery and charge controller in a dry and safe environment. With input
sockets for the solar panels and two output sockets for running up to two different
appliances simultaneously, it enables any installation to be housed in a tidy
professional way.
The battery box also incorporates a simple meter indicating battery power levels.
