The SolarNexus off-grid power center is designed to provide quiet, reliable electric power for schools, clinics, offices and homes in rural areas of the developing world.
With the addition of a properly sized photovoltaic (PV) array and deep-cycle battery, the SolarNexus is the central wiring hub of a complete off-grid solar electric system.
Inside the SolarNexus are all the high quality electronics necessary to convert the energy generated by the solar PV panels (or any other source of renewable energy) into power that is stored in batteries for later use. We utilize UL-recognized circuit breakers and wiring interconnection hardware.
The SolarNexus power center is designed for permanent indoor installation. Detailed instructions, training and support are provided to ensure successful installations.
By pre-engineering these systems, we bring the time-tested quality of North American off-grid solar installations to areas of the world where such systems are hard to come by.
In April of 2010 we shipped 30 complete SolarNexus systems -- including PV panels and deep cycle batteries -- to Tanzania for a project run by the U.K. based charity SolarAid. The systems will provide lighting and power to schools far beyond the reach of the electricity grid, replacing smoky and dangerous kerosene lanterns with efficient compact fluorescent light and enabling the schools to serve more people in the local areas.
In May of 2010, SNI founder Eric Youngren traveled to Tanzania to assist in the training of local installation crews. One goal of Solar Nexus International is to improve the knowledge, skills and capacity of solar installers in the developing world.
SolarNexus power centers are sold as part of a complete package, shown here. The package includes PV panels, deep cycle batteries, mounting hardware, code-compliant wiring, and instructions.
Please contact us if you are interested in purchasing SolarNexus systems.
The SolarNexus model pictured has a continuous power rating of 300 Watts. Larger models are available.
