Carmanah’s Solar Power Systems Group has received an order from Southern California Edison for 50 units of its proprietary MAPPS™ stand-alone solar power systems. Scheduled for deployment in June 2007, the MAPPS systems will be used to power radio communication sites in remote locations across Southern California.
For over 15 years, Southern California Edison, a provider of reliable electric service that includes alternate and renewable energy for a variety of resources, has installed hundreds of Carmanah’s MAPPS solar power systems to provide power for radios along high voltage transmission lines across Southern California. Because Carmanah’s MAPPS systems are completely self-sufficient, sealed, pre-assembled and simple-to-install units, they prove to be the most cost-effective means of powering Southern California Edison’s remote radios. The radios transmit information regarding the power lines status, increasing the reliability of the utilities power infrastructure. The MAPPS systems are modified so the customer can easily install their radios inside the battery/control compartment minimizing the installation time in difficult to reach, remote locations.
About Carmanah’s MAPPS Solar Power
Carmanah’s MAPPS solar power systems are integrated, turnkey systems, specifically designed for remote industrial applications. They are the only solar power systems available with certification for Class I, DIV. II hazardous locations. In addition to powering the remote communication sites above, MAPPS solar power systems are an ideal, reliable remote power solution for applications such as:
– Video surveillance
– Homeland security – Pipeline monitors – Security Lighting – Remote Communications |
– Perimeter Security
– Water Resource Security – Construction Sites – Motion Sensing – Emergency Calls |
Thousands of Carmanah’s MAPPS solar power systems have been deployed worldwide over the past 15 years. They are field-proven to endure the extremely harsh environments found at many remote locations. As MAPPS systems are shipped as complete, easy-to-assemble kits, they can be installed quickly with minimal technical expertise.
