POS PV system solution
Use the PV panel-based POS (Pico off-grid system) to create energy-self-sufficient systems with several performance classes up to 190 Wp. With the robust housing and a mast bracket made of stainless steel, you can implement a reliable and durable solution for providing energy in remote areas and demanding environments. Areas of application include, for example, environmental data acquisition, industrial environments with high demands, and many other outdoor applications.
The system has been successfully tested for shocks with a force of 5g and vibrations up to 7.4 Hz with an amplitude of 0.15 mm. Wind loads of up to 88 km/h (wind force 8) were successfully simulated on the system. An additional gain provides even greater stability for loads up to wind force 10. The resistance depends on the weight of the components in the housing.
For optimum performance, the panel should be installed at an angle that corresponds to the latitude of the installation location. If your site is located in the northern hemisphere, face the solar panel true south. Similarly, if your site is located in the southern hemisphere, face the solar panel true north. For further details, please refer to the application note which can be found in the download area on the product detail pages.
The PV panels are designed to minimize the effects of partial shading. However, to ensure maximum efficiency, shading should be avoided as far as possible.
Electronics housings are an elementary part of a device. They determine its appearance and protect the electronics from external influences. In addition, they enable assembly in superordinate units. Device manufacturers must therefore pay attention to many details, and not only in the design, but also in the choice of housing when it comes to materials and quality testing. This brochure provides you with all the details.
