Solar-Shell™ Model 352SS
Product
Solar-Shell™ Model 352SS
Capacity
2 door/2 Bikes or Disaster Storage Container
System
The basic unit is composed of a PV (Photovoltaic)
panel, controller unit, 12V to 110V inverter and a
solar/cell maintenance free sealed gel battery (for
photovoltaic applications). In simple terms, the PV
panel maintains the charge in the battery, the 12V
battery power is converted to 110V through the
inverter which powers the internal battery charger on
the bike. By having the battery, there is power
available to charge in low sun light conditions. All of
these components were designed as an integrated
system for this application to provide maximum output
and battery charging capability. These components are
all integrated into the new Solar-Shell™ locker.
Design
One of the unique features of the new Solar-Shell™
locker is that the angle of the PV panel can be
adjusted to optimize year-round sun based on the
geographic latitude at which the locker is located. You
provide the latitude and our technicians will see that
the PV panel is set when it arrives. Our current locker
allows PV panel angle adjustment to accommodate
latitudes of the continental US and other countries
which fall into the same latitude band in both the
Northern & Southern hemisphere. Other latitudes
accommodated upon request.
Setback
Please allow 5ft clearance for both doors
Circuitry
Electrical building codes are not a problem with the
system operating at a safe 12 volts DC. The bike
charging unit plugs directly into a U.L. approved
inverter. For protection to the electrical components
we have a controller module with automatic shutdown
circuitry which prevents damage to the electric
components under a number of situations. And should
the system go into an automatic shutdown, it is self-
initializing which means it will resume charging on its
own. Other voltages can be readily accommodated for
International applications.
