Larson Electronics, leader in industrial lighting, has released a skid mounted solar generator for remote locations without access to reliable grid power. The generator offers 5,300 watts of continuous power and features not one, but twenty 265-watt solar panel and twelve 250aH LiFePO4 batteries. This solar powered generator is ideal for outdoor work sites, emergency camps, military bases, construction sites and more.
The SPGSM-53K-24X250AH-LFP4-240V generator from Larson Electronics features twenty 265-watt solar panels, one solar charge controller and component control center to monitor battery voltage. The twenty solar panels generate 5,300 watts (5.3 kW) and deliver 240V AC single phase output via an inverter to operate 240V equipment. The panels are attached to a galvanized steel frame which is tilted at a 45º angle to capture the maximum amount of sun. The twenty panels are wired to the solar charger control box which features a single lever action cut-off switch. Advanced cooling capability and additional air flow from a 1400 CFM exhaust helps keep this system cool, so it can operate well in hot environments.
The component control center protects all electrical components in a lockable NEMA 3R job box bolted to the skid mount trailer, which automatically cools when ambient temperature exceeds 90ºF. A terminal block allows users to mount additional electronic gear without disrupting other equipment. A min/max voltage sensor system is also integrated into this generator to ensure 50% threshold on the batteries is maintained, and automatically shuts off power when capacity falls below. The skid pockets make transportation easy, especially on sites where the generator needs to be towed around.
“Fuel-powered generators eventually run out, and some operators prefer a more economic and environmentally-friendly option,” said Rob Bresnahan, CEO of Larson Electronics LLC. “The SPGSM-53K-24X250AH-LFP4-240V can be used to power a wide range of tools and heavy duty equipment, and with twenty panels and twelve batteries it offers flexible and reliable power in areas where resources are severely limited.”
