Solar Portable Emergency Power Stations
Disaster Response & Home Power Backup

When a storm, hurricane, tornado, earthquake, wildfire or power blackout occurs, there is great necessity, safety and comfort in knowing that you can meet your basic electricity needs.  Our solar powered portable emergency power stations meet the needs of both disaster responders and home owners.

Our 200 watt portable solar panel array combines four hinged 50 watt solar modules with telescoping legs and "plug and play" electrical connectors for rapid deployment and quick  set-up.  The foldable array is small enough to fit in the trunk of most full size automobiles.

The rest of portable emergency power station consists of a high efficiency 25 amp charge controller and regulator and a 1,550 watt utility power quality (full sine wave) inverter which provides 120 AC volts at 60 Hz.  A 12 volt 100 Ah (amp hour) battery can be included as part of the system, or other battery options are available.

A weatherproof enclosure is included which integrates the solar array connections, the battery, inverter and charge control components.

This system is specifically designed for stow-and-go situations where portability and speed of deployment are essential.

Typical IPS200 power station components:

  • 200 watt hinged portable solar array & integrated telescoping legs

  • Weatherproof enclosure for connections and components

  • High efficiency components for AC and DC power requirements

  • 1500 watt AC modified  sine wave inverter

Emergency Preparedness Vehicle Integration

The IPS200 portable emergency power station can be integrated with trailers, vans and other suitable vehicles used for emergency and disaster response, off grid offices and for other remote situations where shelter and power are needed where there is no grid power.

IPS200 Specifications:

  • Total solar power 200 DC watts

  • Battery 100 Ah sealed lead acid (AGM)

  • Charge controller ultra high efficiency 25 amps

  • Continuous output power (1 hours) 1500 watts

  • Surge ragins (0.1 second) 3000 watts

  • Peak efficiency (12 volt at half load) 88%

  • Efficiency (full load 12 volts) 83%

  • No load current draw <0.5 amps (12.6 volts)

  • Output waveform modified sine wave

  • Output frequency 58Hz - 62Hz

  • Output voltage 109 - 120 volts AC

  • Input voltage 10.4 - 14.4 volts DC

  • Low voltage alarm 10.2 - 10.8 volts

  • Shutdown voltage 9.2 - 9.8 volts

  • Operating temperature range 0 - 40 degrees Celsius, 32 - 104 Farenheit

  • Storage temperature range -40 - 85 degrees Celsius, -40 - 185 Farenheit

  • Circuit Protection 1 - thermo magnetic breakers

  • Circuit Protection 2 - Overload, short-circuit, overstep, reverse polarity, under or over voltage

IPS200 Portable Emergency Power Station Applications

Application Run Time Battery Restore Time Observations
Laptop PC 25 computers can run 4-6 hours 5-6 hours sun Can run 5 hours at night but will need 1-2 days sun or larger battery storage
Inkjet Printer 25 printers can run with the laptops for 4-6 hours 5-6 hours sun The more printers used will increase the recharge time on the battery
Portable DVD Player 30 devices can run for 6-7 hours 2-3 hours sun Full recharge in 1 day
1/4 hp Submersible Sump Pump 1-2 hours 2-3 hours sun This is one of the heaviest load devices that the unit will run for a short time
Satellite Radios Can power up to 20 devices for 6-7 hours 2-3 hours sun Up to 10 radios can be run at night and still fully recharge the battery the next day
19 Inch Color TV Can run one unit 4-6 hours 5-6 hours sun Other devices can run at the same time, will require more recharge time
 

Recharge Time of Device

   
Cell Phone 80 cell phones can be recharged in 3 hours 2-3 hours If all the phones are being recharged at one time
PDA 40 devices will recharge in 2-3 hours 2-3 hours If all the devices are being recharged at one time
Coleman Rechargeable Lantern 40 lanterns can be charged in 2-3 hours 2-3 hours Good for use at night without using the station power
Battery Chargers 50 charging stations in 2-3 hours 2-3 hours Should have enough power in 1 hour of sun to add more batteries, will need at least 2 hours of sun next day
12 - 18 Volt Cordless Unit Chargers (tools) 30 charging stations in 2-3 hours 2-3 hours Should have enough power in 1 hour of sun to add more batteries, will need at least 2 hours of sun next day
Two Way Radios Up to 40 charging stations in 2-3 hours 2-3 hours Should have enough power in 1 hour of sun to add more batteries, will need at least 2 hours of sun next day
Portable DVD Players 40 charging stations in 3 hours 2-3 hours Should have enough power in 1 hour of sun to add more batteries, will need at least 2 hours of sun next day
       
Note that all of these are estimates based on testing and device manufacturer's information.  Charge times and station recharge times will vary based on the specific use of the system.  We can create a system to meet your needs.
