| Portable Solar Light Tower  Progress Solar Solutions will introduce its latest and most powerful, portable Solar Light Tower (SLT800-HVR) at the American Rental Association on 2/26-3/2/11. The SLT800-HVR is designed based on the needs for the highest volume outdoor lighting applications and for long term rentals. The SLT600-HVR is the most powerful of a range of portable Progress Solar Light Towers each optimally designed for specific lighting applications and lighting volume needs. The SLT800 can provide up to 35% more solar power generation capabilities than the SLT600 and joins the HVR series which offers larger battery bank(s), MPPT controllers to maximize solar gain, automated clock timer(s) to turn the lights on/off, battery state-of-charge meter(s), as well as a dual battery bank charger to enable fast back-up charging capabilities for in-climate weather, heavy use or fast turn-around on same day rentals. Towable, Progress Solar Light Towers serve the same purpose as a diesel light tower, but is totally quiet, is powered by the sun with free renewable energy instead of diesel fuel making it very cost-effective. In addition it eliminates the carbon emissions, pollutants, and maintenance associated with diesel fuel engines. The Progress Solar Light Tower product range now includes the SLT800-HVR for the highest volume applications and long term rentals; the SLT600-HVR for high volume applications and weekly rentals; and the SLT600-Standard for more moderate volume lighting applications. Each Solar Light Tower is a rugged, portable outdoor lighting system that provides bright white LED lighting on-demand, when and when you need it. The automated solar wings are equipped with high power, solar arrays that are positioned toward the sun, to capture its energy during the day; which is then stored in long-life, rechargeable, deep-cycle battery banks for use at night. The system is equipped with MPPT (maximum power point tracking) controllers to maximize the solar power generation and protect the batteries from over/under charging. Both flooded and AGM, sealed, no maintenance batteries are available and can be easily monitored with battery state-of-charge meters. The light tower can be adjusted from 12-30ft in height, is able to rotate up to 360 degrees and can tilt up/down. The four (4) solid-state, energy-efficient LED flood lights provide brilliant white light with high lumen output; instant on/off with no flickering or warm-up; are extremely reliable, vibration and shatter resistant; and are designed to provide greater run time between bulb changes than metal halide lights. In addition, there are automated clock timers to turn the lights on/off along with a manual override. The system is on a customized trailer that can be easily towed to its destination and maximizes functionality and convenience. write your comments about the article :: © 2011 Construction News :: home page |
