Ambient light harvesting at it's best.
Our self developed A-Frame solar set-up roughly doubles cloudy day output when compared to flat solar set-ups of similar footprint.
To cover critical power needs through cloud, a larger than normal solar capacity is used, alleviating the batteries to mainly do heavy work during rain, dramatically increasing life span.
Being larger, the solar capacity also produces substantial power during rain, extending battery run time from a typical 3 day period, up to 5 days.
DIY Off-Grid Solar Kits
Our Aussie designed modular / expandable kits are Click-n-Play, making it easy for 1-2 people to set-up in as little as a weekend.
The select heavy duty components are designed for decades of maintenance free work under harsh Aussie conditions.
Kit power sizes range from pumps to tiny homes, houses, farms, workshops and even factories. Any size can be configured.
The kits contain everything you need - right down to the last nut and bolt.
To reduce the price, we pass on some of our wholesale price, which depending on the item, can range from 5-20% off the retail price.
PUMP KITS
After years of failed pump experiences, we have designed a long lasting and safe DC hard water slow pump system for bores, dams, rivers, irrigators, sprayers, aerators, fish farms, fountains etc.
They can be configured for any amount of flow and head.
Being slow, they can push water over great distances with little loss even when using 16mm pipes.
To get longevity, we use highest quality membrane pumps in conjunction with our robust analogue controller system which ensures run times rivaling brushless pumps.
This is achieved by suppressing brush erosion, bearing wear and excessive heat build up.
The controllers are built without all the breakable electronics found in brushless motor controllers and therefore are less prone to static, lightning and solar flare damage.
As many clients have long been experiencing... once set up, our pumps can run a good 10-20 thousand hours without maintenance and when they need replacing, they can be refurbished or bought new for just a few hundred dollars.
SOLAR GENERATORS
Starting in the early 2000's with solar powered LASER show equipment for festivals, (SolarLaserProductions) we found out the hard way what was durable and what was not.
Over the years, we designed very robust solar generators which were predominantly made using Australian manufactured, batteries, regulators, inverters etc.
After much experimenting with various origami-like solar panel formations, the 60 degree A-Frame has proven to be the best from a cloudy day power production, simplicity, wind, hail, sun bleach and heat resistance point of view.
As a proof of concept, we have clients who have experienced storms ripping up gum trees and taking off roofs, where their A-Frames stood their ground. Others have experienced tennis ball size hail bouncing off their A-Frames where the neighbours endured many smashed roof panels.
With A-Frame panels only doing a 1/2 day work in sunshine, together with all of the above advantages, it would not surprise us if the A-Frames would be still going strong in 50 years time.
