Solar Range

Solar Range Low maintenance Ni-Cd batteries for stand-alone hybrid systems Battery systems have a difficult job maintaining reliable service in isolated locations and hostile environments. Demands upon them fluctuate widely and charging depends entirely on irregular and unpredictable weather patterns. For renewable energy applications In remote outdoor installations, Alcad Solar is the natural choice for – q q q photovoltaic applications stand-alone hybrid systems renewable energy applications The solution is Alcad Solar Alcad Solar storage batteries are purpose built to operate in these...

Connector cover In line with EN 50272-2 (safety) with IP2 level. Solar Flame arresting vent With transport seal protection. Plate group bus Connects the plate tabs with the terminal post. Plate tabs and terminal posts are projection welded to the plate group bus. Plate tab Spot welded to the plate side frames, to the upper edge of the pocket plate and to the plate group bus. Handles Moulded polypropylene handles allow Solar Range batteries to be easily manoeuvred and installed. Separators These separate the plates and insulate the plate frames from each other. This special type of separator...

Solar Discharge curves at 1⁄120 C120 A according to temperature. Battery fully charged. Typical water replenishment +20°C (+68°F) Derating factor according to temperature and end voltage. For typical solar application with 3 or more days back-up time.

Battery sizing Alcad engineers will work with you to calculate the optimum size of battery for your application. They will consider location, operating temperature, anticipated discharge requirements and your system’s charging capabilities. The battery size or Ampere-hours (Ah) required will depend on average load and minimum back-up time or autonomy. Capacity should be sufficient to sustain days of discharge with minimum support from the renewable energy source. With daily limited time for charging, batteries are not always able to reach full charge. By operating the system so that it...
