Solar PV Panels
Industrial portable solar panels or photovoltaic modules absorb photons from the sun and respond by generating electricity at any location you choose. They can be as small as a few feet in size right up to around 20 feet long. The electricity can either be used as-is or converted to AC as with larger systems which include an inverter to convert DC to AC. Solar panels work well for residential, commercial and industrial use and are also very convenient as a way of providing industrial power on the move with a large selection of industrial portable solar panel systems being available.
Industrial Portable Panels
Small industrial applications of solar panels can be found in the form of 25 watt portable panels which can provide DC power to notebooks. There are also larger systems such as 120 watt solar panel kits which can provide DC or AC output to run a small office on the move especially suitable for field work, expeditions or assistance in disaster relief situations. Most industrial portable solar panels of the 120 watt range are fitted into strong metal cases capable of withstanding industrial environments and rough terrain travel. Larger industrial portable solar panels are capable of providing electricity for outdoor events and concerts which take place thorough out the day and into the night. They are typically housed in trailers that can easily be towed from site to site.
Large Industrial Portable Solar Panels
Larger 10kW industrial portable solar panels also referred to as portable solar power generators are capable of running refrigerators for 24 hours a day and a printer for one hour a day constant, which is easily enough for most industrial applications requiring 5 minute sessions of printing throughout the day. 10kW industrial portable solar panels can also power a PC for 4 hours a day or a laptop for 6 to 8 hours, a water pump for one hour which could be used to fill a large water tank every day and 2 air conditioning units for around 7 hours a day. The same system can be used to run a washing machine for an hour every day and the above calculations refer to a scenario where the industrial portable panel system is operating under optimal conditions.
Considerations
It is worth considering that the estimated amount of time each appliance can be operated for assumes that all devices will be used each day. Since there are few months in the UK that require the use of air conditioning systems everyday or any day for that matter, a 10kW industrial portable system could provide considerable power supply for UK industrial applications in the field. Industrial portable solar panels of various power ratings up to around 14kW generators are not uncommon in the UK. They offer industry a clean, sustainable and free method of supplying power to remote offices, plants, factories or at events where the noise of a conventional generator would be a big disturbance and work out costly in terms of fuel prices.
