Staff use the mobile solar kit as a power source on the farm and at field events. The kit has been used to demonstrate the workings of solar electricity to hundreds of adults and children on field trips and at farmer’s markets, environmental fairs, and other agricultural events.
The solar demo kit consists of the following items:
• 2-55 watt BP Solar modules (110 watts total power)
• 2-12 volt 105 amp-hour batteries (210 amp-hours total storage capacity)
• 1200 watt power inverter for converting 12 volt direct current stored in the batteries to 120 volt alternating current.
• A charge controller to regulate battery voltage
• A 12 volt water pump to run directly from the solar array
• Guages to monitor battery charge and power generated by the solar array.
All components are mounted on a convenient, portable cart for easy transport to field events and around the farm.
