Desert Heat can provide up to 360 watts of modified sine wave 120-volt AC power, and is best suited to provide power for small and medium electronic devices. The pair of high-efficiency 88-watt foldable solar panels (total 176 watts) plus electronics that provide maximum power point tracking (MPPT) allows one to harvest adequate solar energy throughout the day with a relatively small-footprint.

Specifications:

Desert Heat includes Battery - 100 amp-hour, 1280 watt-hour, 12.8-volt lithium iron phosphate; Solar Charge Controllers - pair of 10.5-amp/140-watt MPPT units, each of which manages one 88-watt solar panel; Solar Array - pair of 88-watt, high-performance, foldable solar panels. This hi-efficiency, water (IP65) - and weather-proof, UV-resistant, fold-out solar panel comes in digital ACU camouflage or green-brown jungle camouflage and has the following electrical specs at maximum power: 88 watts; 5.165 amps; 17.024 volts. The open circuit voltage is 20.38 volts, and the short circuit current is 5.727 amps. These superior panels are manufactured in the USA using high-quality monocrystalline solar cells, the rated efficiency of which is 18.4%. Each panel weighs 8.1 pounds and measures 23 x 12 x 2 inches folded, and 48 x 23 x 1/8 inches unfolded (7.03 square feet). In each corner of each panel, there is a metal ringlet that can be used to secure the panel. The camouflage pattern covers the external (non-solar cell side) surface of the foldable solar panels. On the solar cell side, the space between and around the cells is white to keep the panels cooler and to maximize their efficiency; Inverter - continuous 450-watt, 12-volt DC - to - 120-volt AC/60 Hz modified sine wave unit that has a pair of AC outlets, an ON-OFF switch, a thermostatically-controlled cooling fan, battery low-voltage alarm and shutdown, and a single standard female USB port. The power output from the inverter is limited to 360 watts by a 30-amp circuit breaker; Case - an FED-STD-101C, ATA 300, MIL-STD-810F approved case in solid olive drab encloses the battery and electronics. The portable solar panels are carried separately. A pair of solar power input connectors are implanted in the walls of the case, and that allows the battery pack to be solar charged with the lid closed. The lid of the case must be opened to access the inverter.

Extension cables are included.

The hard case weighs 51.3 pounds. The pair of solar panels plus extension cables weighs 18 pounds. The complete system weighs 69.3 pounds.

Optional: a 20-amp AC-powered battery charger that operates on worldwide AC voltages may be added to the system. A 400-watt pure sine wave inverter may be substituted for the 450-watt modified sine wave inverter. Please call 770-639-2244 to discuss.

If 12-volt or 24-volt DC power is required, the system can be modified to accommodate that request Please call 770-639-2244.

This system is scalable/modular in that two or more identical units may be linked together in parallel to increase the energy storage capacity of the battery bank. For example, 5 such systems linked in parallel increase the energy storage capacity of the battery bank to 6.4 kilowatt-hours, and the potential power of the solar array to 880 watts.
