If you've wanted a "solar system" but don't have the knowledge, time, money, space ... to install one; here's an alternative for you--the
EN-R-PAK self-contained solar portable power generation system. It's built like a generator, with everything except the 72-watt solar panel contained in one attractive enclosure. Although it weighs 88 pounds, it can still be moved to where you need alternate power.
The
EN-R-PAK is a compact power center. It contains an internal gel-cell battery, solar charge controller, pure sine wave power inverter, and all the necessary electronics to provide portable emergency power. All you do is position the solar panel facing south toward the sun, plug the cable into the unit; and when charged you have available up to 200 watts of 110 volts AC power or 16-amps of 12 volts DC power. It's ideal for powering low wattage lighting, a small television set, laptop computer, small appliances, rechargeable power tools, amateur radio stations (HF, VHF ... up to about 75 watts out), etc. It can be used in your home, office, shop, ham shack, cabin, boat, or just about anywhere you have access to the sun. Unlike a gasoline generator, it is quiet, and does not emit exhaust fumes, or require you store fuel and oil.
The 72-watt solar panel has an adjustable tilt frame to allow positioning toward the sun. The connecting cable is 30 feet long, so the panel can be installed where you need it, and it has a blocking diode to prevent discharging the unit at night.
The nominal energy storage capacity is 100 AHr (amp-hours) when fully charged. This can provide approximately 20 hours of usage on either: 40 watts on the AC output, or 4 amps on the DC output. Maximum
Power Output is 200 Watts continuous. The unit measures 18" x 14.5" x 12", and weighs 82 lbs. The solar panel measures 2' x 3' and weighs 33 lbs. The
EN-R-PAK has a two year warranty and the solar panel warranty is 10 years.
