System
Unlike other solar-power systems, EverGEN solar engines are completely self-contained, with all components (including solar modules, rechargeable batteries, sensors and electronics) integrated within a sleek, compact, durable and attractive pole-mounted design
Suitable for powering a range of third-party components, such as LED lighting, cameras, sensors, communications equipment, and other low-voltage devices.
The EverGEN™ solar engine is a self-contained power supply that provides 12-volt DC power wherever you need it - generated from the free, limitless resource of the sun. Unlike other solar-power systems, the EverGEN solar engine is completely self-contained, with all components (including solar modules, rechargeable batteries, sensors and electronics) integrated within a sleek, compact and durable pole-mounted design.
Suitable for powering a range of third-party devices such as cameras, sensors, communications equipment, and more, the solar engine can also be paired with Carmanah's industry-proven LED luminaire for a versatile, stand-alone lighting solution.
With no trenching, cabling or permits required, an EverGEN solar engine can be installed in minutes, with minimal technical expertise, at a fraction of the cost of a hard-wired connection. An adjustable mounting assembly allows you to tilt and rotate the system during installation for optimal orientation to the sun at any latitude. Free from the restrictions of a grid connection, the stand-alone solar engine is designed to provide many years of uninterrupted, maintenance-free power - without the monthly utility bill!
EverGEN™ solar engines bring reliable solar power to a wide range of locations: airports, parks, pathways, car parks, campuses, roadways, construction sites, lumber yards, military facilities, ports, marinas and more.
As a portable power source, the solar engine is suitable for a variety of low voltage devices:
- LED-based lighting
- Security cameras
- Remote sensors
- Data loggers
- Telemetry equipment
- Communications (RF modules, Wi-Fi hubs, modems)
In locations where the optimal placement for lighting, cameras or sensors may be impractical or impossible for a traditional hard-wired connection due to a lack of grid access, the advantages of a versatile solar-powered solution are considerable. Locations such as docks, rural pathways, parks, campuses, construction sites, marinas or remote airfields are now easily within reach
Designed to operate reliably in extreme climates and harsh conditions at nearly any location on Earth, the EverGEN solar engine incorporates Carmanah's field proven solar-power technology, used in more than 250,000 installations worldwide. The self-contained design protects sensitive components within a rugged aluminum shell, and security fasteners protect the device from theft and tampering.
For lighting applications, Carmanah's optional MICROSOURCE® energy management system (EMS) automatically balances energy requirements with available resources, allowing each solar engine to "learn" and adapt to its environment. With MICROSOURCE EMS, lighting characteristics such as automatic on/off times and default light output levels can also be customized for maximum efficiency, reliability and convenience. |

A typical solar power system contains two main components: the solar array and the base kit. The array is typically fastened to a roof, where it gathers energy from the sun and transfers it to the base kit. The base kit then uses a grid-tie inverter to convert the direct current (DC) electricity from the solar array to alternating current (AC) electricity, which is then fed to your grid connection to supplement your grid-based power supply.
Carmanah can create a customized grid-tie solar solution that meets your needs. Our solar system engineers have many years of experience in designing small and large solar grid-tie systems, from roof-top installations using standard panels to building-integrated systems with custom-designed solar panels.
Whether you are retro-fitting an older building or incorporating solar into a new design, we have the experience to assist you. |
