Portable Power Pack

The Lotus Energy Portable Power Pack is one such example.  Originally designed to carry and power lap top computers in the remote Himalayas, this power pack was designed for a World Bank Nepal census program.  The pack carries and powers a small lap top computer and small bubble jet printer. Other custom solutions include larger stand-alone systems for particular applications such as the rhino-proof solar array in the Chitwan Jungl.

portable panel box is specially designed for traveling. Two 36 watt Siemens panels are connected in parallel to give maximum amperage. The panel box is constructed from high impact fiberglass, padded to protect the panels against vibrations and is secured by safety locks. It is suitable for all seasons and can be carried safely to any remote location. Two adjustable folding aluminum legs support the panels to maximize capture of the sun’s rays.
 

This portable panel box has the same features as the double panel box, however, it contains a single panel only. The single portable panel box comes with a box cover secured with safety locks to protect the panel while being carried.
 

The charge controller box provides everything that is needed to link the solar panel and the battery to the loads. Like the panel box and battery box, it is built of high impact fiberglass, and is padded with high density closed cell foam. The controller box provides all necessary control functions for most typical outdoor photovoltaic systems. It contains a charge controller, a multiple voltage DC regulator and a DC to AC converter. The charge control function protects the battery from overcharging by the photovoltaic array and from over discharging in the event of extended cloudy weather. The DC regulator provides power for low-voltage DC appliances. The converter provides AC power to run AC appliances.

This battery box is for use with the portable panel box and the controller system box. It has input for the panels and output for the control box (described below). The high impact fiberglass box is lined with both high and low density foams and the batteries fit in perfectly so that there is no chance of damage or leakage. The box cover with safety locks secures the battery so that it can be safely and comfortably carried to remote locations.
