SOLASMART-230

PV SOLAR GREEN POWER FOR TELECOM TOWERS WITH LEECH MODULES

All major global telecom companies offering cellular services are now rethinking the configuration of 48V DC Power for their Telecom Towers. So far these were powered by AC cabinets have been powered by local utilities and backed up by diesel and batteries. World over there are millions of such Telecom Towers today. In US alone there were 300,000 by the end of 2010. The telecom towers are everywhere; on tall buildings in cities and towns, on mountains, in valleys, fields and deserts. Many of these either do not have electricity or its availability is uncertain. In towns and villages far from the power grid, the towers are run on gen-sets that guzzle diesel. That makes the mobile phone industry one of the biggest user of diesel in country like India, heavily subsidized by the government. This badly pollutes the air. A recent Telecom Regulatory Authority of India study says that more than 60% of the towers run on diesel generators burning about 2 billion litres of diesel and produced 5.3 million tons of CO2. WHAT IS SOLASMART 230? SOLASMART 230 is innovative solution to efficiently harness Solar Energy cost effectively by Maximum Peak Power Tracking and offering it as a Triple Mode Intelligent 48V DC Source delivered directly from the LEECH PV Module that has built-in energy management circuitry. Each SOLASMART 230 is Triple Mode 48V Lead Acid Battery Charger that boost charges the battery each morning, then either puts it in a float mode and discharges its energy into the tower load. Peak Power from each LEECH module is 180W. User can parallel any number of SOLASMART 230 Modules to raise power output to any power level in multiple of 180W.

SOLASMART 230 is a Green Tower Initiative SOLASMART 230 is a Green Solution that will not only save expensive diesel and associated maintenance but also avoid air pollution, earning the service providers Carbon Credits. It allows the telecom companies to champion an energy revolution by transitioning from diesel to technologically and economically viable solution offered by us. Many appreciate SOLASMART 230 as a Green Tower Initiative since it is a pioneering solution that aims at using alternate, renewable and energy efficient technologies. Operation of SOLASMART-230 It is a Constant Voltage Peak Power PV Solar Telecom Battery Charger with embedded MPPT control and high efficiency DC/DC converter delivering 54.4V DC at 220Wp. Peak current from each module is 3.5A -3.9A max and depends on Solar Energy input during sunny hours. Its Triple Mode Battery Charging topology increases the life any type 48V DC lead-acid besides acting as a Solar Powered Regulated DC supply. It can be deployed at any indoor or outdoor or mobile location. User does not need any extra investment in a charge controller or blocker diodes etc.

Ideal for Parallel Array: SOLASMART 230 give Parallel Plus energy benefit due to All Parallel Array Architecture. It eliminates serious disadvantages like string power loss due to shadow in conventional series parallel array. For higher power, one can connect N+1 SOLASMART-230s in parallel; each delivering its peak power. One can therefore have any DC power up to several kilowatts in multiple of 230Wp. Designed for Outdoor Telecom: SOLASMART-230 is IP 68 compliant and works reliably even at ambient temperatures to 80C. This makes it ideal for in-field unattended telecom installations even in remote locations. This makes SOLASMART-230 highly suitable rural telecom applications like Rural Telephone exchanges, GSM/CDMA tower base stations, GSM/CDMA/RF repeaters, Microwave communication stations, VOIP, WiFi and Routers and WLL based small exchanges SOLASMART 230 Features Fully integrated source of processed solar energy Only PV Solar Source for ALL PARALLEL ARRAY configuration Built-in Maximum Energy Harvesting Controller under all solar conditions Provided regulated output voltage of 54.4V DC Provides Constant Power at any battery voltage from 39V to 54.4V Available with panel using either Mono or Poly-crystalline Solar Cells Built-in +95% efficient DC-DC converter Packaged in IP65 case to meet climatic endurance in open fields Performs reliably at ambient temperature up to 80C and 100% moisture Array output unaffected by shadow/ dirt on panel like in series array No need to sort and match as in conventional array
