ANTARIS SOLAR introduces new standalone, portable off-grid solar PV systems

PRLog (Press Release) - Jul. 23, 2012 - • Safe and easy renewable electricity supply for off-grid locations
• Portable Mini eKiss Box also available

ANTARIS SOLAR, a leading provider of solar technology, has launched two new stand-alone, portable photovoltaic systems. The eKiss Box and the even smaller Mini eKiss Box can be used to generate power in off-grid locations such as stables, outbuildings, sheds, camp sites, hunting cabins or holiday homes. The systems are also ideal for governments, charities, individuals, aid agencies and churches wanting to fund electricity supplies for families and small businesses in rural areas of the developing world.

Available in four versions covering a power range between 350 and 2,000 Watts, the eKiss Box (short for energy Keep it simple & safe) is easy to install and operate and uses maintenance-free AGM batteries for electricity storage. Depending on the configuration of the system, potential applications include washing machines, refrigerators, telephone systems, televisions, laptops, portable power tools, e-bikes, electric golf trolleys and even caravans.

Each e-Kiss Box consists of three components: the polycrystalline ANTARIS SOLAR PV modules; inverters that convert the electricity from direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC); and batteries that store the electricity generated by the solar panels. Up to nine PV modules can be connected to the eKiss Box. Each system is customised to the customer’s individual power requirements. Prices start at £900 for a fully customised eKiss Box system.

In addition to the eKiss Box, the Mini eKiss Box is a briefcase-sized solar charging box with pluggable panels and a maintenance-free 12 V DC lead-acid battery, complete with an on/off switch. It has a maximum output of Max 65W and is perfect for powering small fans, battery chargers, laptops or mobile phones.

All ANTARIS SOLAR PV panels are tested for reliability and performance in extreme situations by the TEC Institute for Technical Innovation, headquartered in Germany (www.tec-institut.de/en). These tests are performed under real-life conditions for periods of at least six months to one year, where the panels are exposed to heat and cold or destructive environmental influences. TEC work to optimise products and provide quality assurance, among others on behalf of the ANTARIS SOLAR group, one of the leading suppliers of state-of-the-art solar technology in Germany and Europe.
