Weightron's solar power system provides the ideal solution for powering weighbridge installations in areas where mains power is not readily available. This brings optimum operational flexibility in a wide range of remote applications, making it ideal for the Quarrying, Waste &Recycling and Agricultural industries.
The latest solar panel technology, combined with low energy consumption weighbridge electronics and load cells, provides unrivalled power generation and storage. SolarWeigh is available in two versions, Energy-3 and Energy-12, the choice being determined by the operational requirements for the weighbridge.
SolarWeigh is made up of four fundamental elements:
- One or more solar panels
- Mounting support post.
- Battery pack for storing the accumulated energy.
- Adjustable Solar panel mounting bracket.
During sunlight exposure, the energy produced is made available for both the operation of the equipment and for recharging the batteries. During the hours of low light/darkness the weighbridge system is powered directly from the batteries.
