Batteries
When the grid isn't available to store the electricity, or if you require a back-up system to guarentee zero downtime, batteries are the answer.
Depending on the system requirements and the design, we can use a variety of high quality batteries from different manufacturers to ensure that the system is will deliver the highest level of reliability.
Unlike standard car batteries, deep cycle batteries are constructed with heavier duty materials to withstand many discharge and recharge cycles.
This construction allows the deep cycle battery to deliver sustained power with low current drain for extended periods of time.
Enersun Solar Energy Batteries
Century Yuasa's Enersun Solar Energy Batteries are specifically designed and manufactured in Australia to provide DC power for Remote Area Power Systems (RAPS) in our harsh environment.
Evolved from years of battery research and design experience, the Enersun SSR product range has set the quality benchmark in Australia for batteries in RAPS applications.
Charge Controllers & Regulators
When photovoltaic (PV) panels are connected to batteries in remote and off grid applications, the amount of charge of the batteries must be closely monitored so that the batteries are not overcharged.
A charge regulator is an electronic switch which senses when the battery is full and either disconnects the panel from the battery or diverts the energy away from it.
The most advanced controllers increase charge current by operating the PV module in a manner that allows the module to produce all the power it is capable of through the use of Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) technology.
Use of the right charge control and regulation equipment in a photovoltaic (PV) system design ensures that batteries will be well managed and enjoy a long, useful life.
