Carmanah’s Power Systems Group has recently supplied a number of its proprietary MAPPS remote solar power systems to an Ontario-based fencing manufacturer and installer. These remote solar power systems are scheduled for installation in a rural area just outside of Sarnia, Ontario for the purpose of driving remotely-activated gates for vehicle entry and exit.
The rural location of the installations made grid-based power impractical from a cost standpoint. In addition, the cost of Carmanah’s portion of the entire automated gate system did not dramatically impact the bottom line nor total cost of ownership.
Carmanah solar power professionals worked closely with the fencing company to analyze the daily usage of the gating systems and, based on the solar insolation values in southern Ontario, determine the correct remote solar power systems that would be cost-effective while providing year-round power reliability.
Carmanah’s MAPPS solar power systems are the only integrated, turnkey systems currently available that have been specifically designed for remote industrial applications. In fact, they can even be approved for Class I, DIV. II hazardous locations. In addition to powering the remotely-activated gate application 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.
