Naps Solar Systems for Demanding Environments
Naps Solar Systems The Sol Solar Electricity for Feeding the Grid In a grid-connected solar electricity system, DC electricity produce by the solar cells is converted to AC electricity with an inverter, and fed into the grid. Arrays of solar modules can be retrofitted over roofs or walls, integrated into the building fabric, or mounted on the ground. Solar arrays can be installed practically everywhere, in sizes ranging from small domestic house installations to large centralized power plants. Our delivery includes all the other necessary hardware such as structures, cables, inverters and other accessories. Solar Power Backup Systems In areas where grid is available, but the feed is unreliable, a solar powered backup system can allow the building or compound to operate normally during a blackout. The switching is seamless and as the solar modules charge the batteries every day, the system can operate even during a longer blackout. The system can also help reduce the amount of electricity purchased during normal operation. Such systems have been installed at numerous offices and compunds. Solar Electricity for Industrial Use The industrial applications of solar electricity are numerous. In several cases solar electricity is the most economical and technically attractive choice. In remote locations solar electricity has yielded significant savings in operating costs by eliminating the need to transport fuel to the sites. Also, as there are no moving parts, the need for maintenance is very low. If there is a need to combine solar power systems with any other power source or with grid connection, Naps is able to deliver the optimal solution to control any such hybrid systems. Naps has developed small custom-made solar electricity systems for its OEM partners. These systems are designed to be highly efficient and reliable, and are especially suitable for demanding applications such as weather stations and obstruction lights. A battery bank allows for uninterrupted power when the grid is weak or not available. The batteries are charged by solar modules when grid is not available.

Solar Electricity for Rural Communities Naps supplies solar electricity systems for rural energy needs in places where electricity for lighting, medical care, schools, water pumping and other basic requirements can improve the quality of life. The conditions encountered in such areas require maximum performance and reliability from the entire system. Naps has been engaged in supplying thousands of health centres, staff houses, refugee camps, etc with solar electricity systems. The health centres are equipped with vaccine refrigerators and hospital equipment, radios and other electronic devices. Also, thousands of schools are able to operate effectively with proper lighting and the possibility to use modern equipment. Numerous villages rely on water pumping systems supplied by Naps. Naps Power Pack, a standard compact system package, is used for VHF-radios and for general electricity supply. Telecommunications Naps Solar Systems has delivered thousands of stand-alone solar power systems to telecommunications clients in the Far East, Middle East, Africa, Europe, and Latin America. The solar electricity system at an unmanned telecommunications site must be extremely reliable. It must operate in all weather conditions with as little human intervention as possible. If something goes wrong, it must be able to send an alarm signal to the nearest manned station and it must then sustain the station s operation for a period long enough for maintenance personnel to arrive. A hybrid solar-diesel system may be the best solution for larger projects, either to boost the solar electricity production in winter time, or simply to reduce the size of the battery required.

Naps AC-Pack Solar Power Systems Lighting Refrigeration TV Computer Radio communication Water pumps Radio Medical equipment Naps AC-Pack systems are solar power generating units that are particularly suitable for applications in which high power safety and normal mains power are desired. Powering Households in Urban and Rural Areas Naps AC-Pack systems produce normal 230-volt power, the same that you get from the mains. That is why you can use normal household appliances with the system. The energy stored in the batteries is converted by an inverter from direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC) at normal mains voltage. The power enables the use of normal mains-powered home appliances such as TV, radio, refrigerator or lamps. Sometimes in hot climates, it is practical to complement the solar power system with a generator that will CHARGE CONTROLLER SOLAR ARRAY 8 MODULES CW STRUCTURE DC FUSEBOX INVERTER 2400VA 24V enable occasional use of high-power equipment such as big air-conditioning devices. Simple, Reliable and Versatile The systems consist of Naps solar modules, batteries, a charge controller that protects the batteries against harmful overcharging, and an inverter. All of our charge controllers are CE marked to verify their compliance with EU electrical requirements. All system components are connected to each other with cables, connectors, structures and accessories specially designed to ensure optimal system reliability. The solar modules are usually installed on the roof of the building or on the ground using special installation structures. The batteries that store the energy are located outside of the building in a separately built space or, for example, under a terrace. A Naps AC-Pack system leaves all your options open. When you have the system in place, you are self-sufficient as far as power generation is concerned. You can totally forget about electricity bills while not forgetting the contribution you will be making to the preservation of environment! If your power consumption grows over time, the system can be easily expanded. AC A Naps AC-Pack can also work as a backup to the mains grid in case of shortage of DISTRIBUTION energy supply. Our AC-pack from Naps 520 model on up are also back-up systems that switch on automatically if needed.
