The mobile communications trailer, located at the Radnor Township Municipal building, now has a solar generator battery system that can power everything inside.
We are currently using about 130-140 watts of power for the following in the trailer: ICOM IC-9700, ICOM IC-7300, ICOM ID-1, and Yaesu FT-857 radios, 2 laptop computers, wireless hotspot, router, label printer, CAT phone and a few other various items, including topping off the backup batteries for the radios. This will allow us to run 24/7 indefinitely off of just the battery and recharging during the day from solar energy. We are also plugged in to the parking lot lights, so the battery can be topped off very quickly at night as well.
The battery is rated for 3000 complete cycles and about 10 year's worth of daily use. We currently have 2 220W solar panels, but that can be expanded. Up to 2 more additional batteries can be added as well to provide more power storage.
DELTA 2 Max
A generous 2048Wh capacity makes DELTA 2 Max ideal for home backup, running your essentials for hours. Using your transfer switch, or plugged in directly, keep your fridge on and stop food from spoiling for up to 14 hours. With its lightweight design, the DELTA 2 Max is portable enough to grab and go on the next camping trip.
DELTA 2 Max powers almost all the devices you need with a large 2400W AC output. With X-Boost proprietary technology, run appliances with an output of up to 3400W. Compared with similar portable power stations, DELTA 2 Max can power more devices while also preventing overloading and overheating.
With DELTA 2 Max's upgraded tech, the unit can take up to 1000W solar input. Or stick with AC for an 80% charge in a speedy 1.1 hour.
With its upgraded LFP battery chemistry, DELTA 2 Max has a lifespan of 3000 complete cycles until it reduces to 80% capacity. You'll get pretty much 10 years of power, even if you use it every day.
