Quirks is well known
for its quality range of DC lighting, appliances, refrigeration
(including the AUTOFRIDGE eutectic refrigeration systems and
specialist conversions of Fisher & Paykel refrigerator and freezer
cabinets). There are basically two ranges of solar modules available:
Trickle-charging output capacity...
These modules are used for 'battery maintenance', i.e. they
will maintain a battery's state of charge during periods when
the battery is not being used. For standard marine starting
batteries or tractor batteries, 5 watt or 10 watt modules are
typically used to ensure that the engine can be restarted even
after prolonged periods of no use. |
Recharging output capacity...
The most common use of solar modules is to 'recharge' batteries,
i.e. the modules will replace the battery power used according
to the system's requirements. These modules are greater in output
than trickle-charge modules and the amount of power available
for use on a continuous basis will be limited by the recharging
capacity of the solar module/s installed. When using solar modules
to recharge deep cycle batteries, it is important to consider
the use of a voltage regulator to protect the battery from being
either overcharged or excessively discharged - as either will
reduce the life of the storage battery.
For any solar/battery storage system, it is important
that there is a balance between the amount of power to be used,
the battery storage capacity and the recharging capabilities
of the system. |
