Power Hut Components

Standard Components:

Diesel Generator

The diesel generator has a water-cooled diesel engine coupled to a brushless single phase alternator. The diesel generator in turn is situated via anti-vibration mounts atop the fuel tank and is enclosed inside a sound proof enclosure. The diesel generator is the workhorse of the system, and provides a cost effective solution to providing reliable electrical capacity for Off-Grid energy.

Battery Bank

The battery bank consists of a number of sealed type Gel or AGM batteries that are mounted on their own purpose built stand.

Inverter/Charger

The inverter/charger has been chosen for its ability, not only to synchronise to the generators output, but also to redistribute surplus generator output to charging the battery bank.

Solar Panels

Solar panels are included and connected via a solar regulator to provide standby charging for the battery bank. Additional panels can be added.

Controller

The controller acts as an interface between the generator and the rest of the installation as well as collecting important data from the installation that can be accessed from the front screen or off site via a communications interface.

Optional Generating Component Options:

Wind Turbine Generators

Wind turbine generators are optional components that can be connected into the Power Hut system to provide additional charging capacity to the battery bank. They could be a considered if the installation is in an area of consistent wind speeds.

Mini Hydro Generators

Mini hydro generators are optional components that can be connected into the Power Hut system to provide additional charging capacity to the battery bank. They could be a considered if the installation is near a water source with sufficient head height and flow rates.

Power Hut Sizes

Power Hut's come in three sizes - small, medium and large; to suit the energy output you require.

Small - suitable for radio base-stations, bach lighting and minimal AC requirements.

Medium - Suitable for a range of applications from small baches to large family homes with normal AC requirements.

Large - suitable for large houses, lodges, and commercial applications, eg. industrial, milking sheds, factories, etc.

How much does it cost?

The cost of each Power Hut will depend on your individual circumstances. Once we have talked to you and have asked you some simple questions of your proposed electrical power requirements, we will be able to recommend the most cost effective solution for you as part of our priced proposal.
