OutBack Power Showcases Easy-to-Install Solar Equipment for Electrical Contractors
OutBack
Power Technologies, Inc., a designer and manufacturer of advanced
power electronics for renewable energy, backup power and mobile
applications, will showcase its newest photovoltaic (PV) equipment at
the National Electrical Contractors Association (NECA) Convention, Oct.
3 to 6 at Moscone Center South in San Francisco. With the addition of
the FLEXpower Radian (News - Alert), new Nano-Carbon batteries and the launch of its
Solar Power Stations (SPS), OutBack Power delivers easy-to-install
equipment for electrical contractors, saving up to half a day of labor
and providing a leg up in serving the growing renewable energy industry.
"Electrical contractors are seeing a dramatic rise in interest about
solar electricity from their customers, and OutBack is responding with
solutions that promise longevity, simplified installation, and time and
cost savings to support this surging market interest," said Mark
Cerasuolo, marketing director for OutBack Power. "Our focus on making
solar a viable and practical option for contractors and their customers
led to several new products designed to simplify specification and save
valuable installation time, as well as new battery technology intended
to make storage-based solar electric systems more practical than ever."
-
SmartHarvest Solar Power Stations (SPS) are five complete
systems for installers to deploy reliable, long-term lower-voltage DC
power anywhere needed in the field, including agriculture, remote and
wireless networking, security and video surveillance, LED lighting and
intelligent traffic control applications. The systems are
pre-configured in outdoor-rated National Electrical Manufacturers
Association (NEMA) enclosures and include the enclosure, batteries,
solar panels and all mounting hardware.
-
FLEXpower Radian systems built around OutBack's acclaimed
Grid/Hybrid inverter/charger make residential and commerial
installations easier than ever. The preconfigured system includes
programming, charge control, networking and other balance-of-system
components essential to a solar electric design. Contractors hang the
pre-wired and tested product on the wall and simply connect the solar
panels, batteries and backed-up loads panel, saving installation time
of up to half a day.
-
Nano-Carbon batteries combine the advantages of reliable,
absorbed glass mat/valve-regulated lead-acid (VRLA) battery
chemistries with cycling and performance characteristics approaching
lithium-ion and other advanced energy storage. Most important, they
are more fault-tolerant, designed to thrive in partial state-of-charge
applications where a full refresh charge of the battery isn't always
possible (such as when there is insufficient sunlight), and offer up
to 44 percent greater cycle life versus other traditional batteries.
Extending battery life for real-world residential and light commercial
conditions is essential to making energy storage a cost-effective,
practical mainstream technology. OutBack's new Nano-Carbons are a
significant advance in the field.
Continued Cerasuolo, "Most important is that these solutions are from a
brand leader that contractors can specify with confidence. OutBack leads
the industry in UL-1741 listed systems from end-to-end as well as the
latest in NEC (News - Alert) 2014-compliant rapid shutdown products. As noted by Greentech
Media and others in the industry press, OutBack Power is now a
leading global inverter brand; with its products on board all-in-one
energy storage and management systems from Sonnenbatterie and others,
they're designed for tomorrow's energy storage needs. We're determined
to apply that advantage today with these and other solar solutions that
are as easy for contractors to deploy as they are advanced."
OutBack Power's SmartHarvest Solar Power Stations will be available this
fall, while the FLEXpower Radian and Nano-Carbon batteries are both
currently shipping. For more information on these and other products

Contractors Association Convention at Moscone Center South from Oct. 3
through Oct. 6, email [email protected]
