ML2 Networx Launches New Solar & Wind Powered CCTV

Off-Grid PowerPack is an off-grid power system that is easy to transport and quick to deploy. Designed for operating low power AC or DC equipment, everything you need to provide a remote power source is neatly fitted into a single, pallet-sized box. In less than an hour, it is now possible to set up a complete solar-wind hybrid power supply.

Rugged Enclosure

The Off-Grid PowerPack is pallet-sized, so it can be delivered on a single pallet, or even in the back of a pickup, reducing transport costs and making it possible to deploy in remote areas. Made from galvanised steel, Off-Grid PowerPack is designed to be long-lasting and durable in some of the world's harshest conditions.

Integrated Solar

The unique fold-away design of the Off-Grid PowerPack solar panels means that they are protected during transport and can be setup in seconds, as well as being set at the correct angle for the sun. Using two 160W ultra-high-efficiency solar panels made from Sunpower cells, Off-Grid PowerPack can generate over 1.5kWh a day in summer from solar alone.

Wind-Solar Hybrid

Unlike other "complete" power solutions, Off-Grid PowerPack comes with its own turbine. Unlike the sun, wind is a 24-hour a day power source, so a hybrid wind-solar power system is significantly more productive than just solar or wind alone. In general, when there is more sun, there is less wind and vice versa. Having both wind and solar, Off-Grid PowerPack is a year-round power source.

Stored Power

Producing power is only one half of the equation and storing that power is the other. As well as storing power to be used, the battery bank is also the "reserve". In many parts of the world, there will be days where there is neither much sun or wind. On these days, we must rely on the reserve power to keep equipment running. Off-Grid PowerPack is fitted with a bank of industrial grade deep-cycle AGM (Absorbent Glass Matting) batteries that are designed to give many years' service, even when they are heavily used. AGM batteries do not contain any free-liquid electrolyte and can even be used upside down, meaning that they are much more suited to the rigours of transport. As standard, Off-Grid PowerPack is fitted with six 120Ah batteries, storing a total of 8.64kWh of energy.

Remote Control & Monitoring

The Off-Grid PowerPack is fitted with the innovative Victron Venus GX which displays power production, power output and battery status, as well as allowing you full control over the system. When connected to the internet via the built-in Ethernet port, or via the optional WiFi receiver or 3G/4G dongle, live data is transmitted to Victron's proprietary VRM Portal. Logging in to the VRM Portal from your laptop or the mobile app, means that you can see exactly how your Off-Grid PowerPack is performing (live and historical), receive alarm signals by email and even change system settings remotely.
