A little bit of science!
Solar power technologies provide electrical generation by means of heat engines or photovoltaics. Once converted its uses are only limited by human ingenuity. A partial list of solar applications includes space heating and cooling through solar architecture, potable water via distillation and disinfection, daylighting, hot water, thermal energy for cooking, and high temperature process heat for industrial purposes.
Solar technologies are broadly characterized as either passive solar or active solar depending on the way they capture, convert and distribute sunlight. Active solar techniques include the use of photovoltaic panels, solar thermal collectors, with electrical or mechanical equipment, to convert sunlight into useful outputs. Passive solar techniques include orienting a building to the Sun, selecting materials with favorable thermal mass or light dispersing properties, and designing spaces that naturally circulate air.
Regulators and Displays
Fox Solar Regulators provide 3 stage charging to your battery bank from solar panels with a rated power of up to 20Amps. They are equally ideal on board yachts, motorhomes and on professional installations providing both overcharge and deep discharge protection for deep cycle batteries. The range of Fox solar regulators are conveniently available in four versions, specifically tailored to the requirements of leisure charging applications.
The Steca PR charge controllers are the fifth generation of charge controller technology (up to 900 Wp). This high-class state of the art product upgrades the Steca Solarix series by a customer designed LCD which shows the accurate state of charge (SOC) in percent and as battery gauge symbol. The heart of the controller is the integrated circuit called ATONIC®II, which contains the improved regulation software based on a self-learning algorithm.
