The New Sollatek Ultima UPS range Sollatek Tanzacat

The Sollatek UK team extends a warm welcome to you all. The Sollatek UK team currently employs over 30 people, at our headquarters based in Slough, England.

The New Sollatek Ultima UPS range

Sollatek TanzacatSollatek Kenya recently co-sponsored the 2006 Tanzacat Catamaran sailing event to coincide with the opening of it’s subsidiary operation in Tanzania.

Tanzacat is an annual event held in the Msasani Bay

in Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania and takes the format of 12

Olympic course sailing races split by a sail to the spice

island of Zanzibar. This year’s Tanzacat was held from

26th October to 4th November 2006 and attracted

160 competitors including World and Olympic

title contenders.

Thousands of spectators watched the races and it

was all really great fun. Sollatek won many wonderful

compliments for its sponsorship and tasteful

promotional decorations of the arena and the

competing catamarans.

We are pleased to introduce our new UPS range. Building on the strength of the original range, the New Ultima range packs all of the essential features but at an affordable price.

The range is now also wider and covers sizes from

400VA and up to 2000VA ideal for servers and serious

business applications.

Some of the highlights of this new range include;

Wide range of power variants.

The Ultima 400-800 series is perfect for worldwide

computing use and a wide range of SoHo (Small office

House office) computing

applications. The Ultima

1000 / 1400 / 2000 series is

perfect for critical business

and server applications.

Start up from cold.

Ultima’s Cold Start feature

lets you power up your

Ultima even in the midst of

a power cut. If the Ultima

has enough battery power,

it can be powered on and

will remain on until the

battery power is depleted.

This way, in case of an emergency you will be able

to use your PC even if there is a power cut.

Unattended system shutdown.

Each model features a USB and a RS-232 communications port. This enables an interface with a complete suite of power management software to control, monitor and configure your Ultima UPS. In the event of utility failure or low battery, the software independently manages the unattended shutdown of the operating system with no risk to

data or hardware.

designing systems for a number of civic

amenities, private housing developments and

commercial clients such as British Telecom.

A project completed recently for a car park

on a local authority housing development

highlights the challenges that these contracts

present. In contrast to our African installations

which are in relatively remote areas and enjoy

plentiful sunshine, UK systems need to be

vandal-proof and make full use of the limited

supply of sun.

Power output, the autonomy period,

location of the solar panels and hard-wearing

materials are critical factors, therefore, to

the performance and durability of this

installation.

One solution is a dual system with two 10,000-

hour 18 Watt fluorescent lamps (equivalent

to a 200 Watt domestic lamp) powered by a

built-in battery with a lifespan of more than

seven years. To charge the battery, south-

facing positions unobstructed by trees or

buildings were selected to maximise the

solar panels’ exposure to the sun. This ensures

that the panels are effective even during the

winter months.

In continuous use, running time would be

approximately 3.5 hours per day. However,

a light sensor to restrict power output to

hours of darkness together with a PIR (passive

infra-red) sensor to activate the lights by

movement was installed to extend the power

output and keep costs down.

The battery is housed at the base of the light

post in 3mm thick anti-vandal steel. Other

protective measures include anti-climbing

collars, polycarbonate shields above and

beneath the solar modules and steer nuts

designed to stop theft.

Keith Searle, managing director of Sollatek

Distribution, sees a bright future for solar-

powered lighting in the UK. “We are now

developing new

luminarie styles

to complement

our ever-changing

environment and

will be using our

experiences to

consolidate our

position as a leader in

this market segment.”

Growth for Libyan mobile provider – powered by SollatekManhal Allos - managing director

Libyana, a subsidiary of Libyan telecom provider GPTC, is its country’s largest mobile phone operator with three million subscribers.

With plans to expand its subscriber base, the

company is increasing its coverage to the more

remote areas of the country - and the long highways

that lead to them. The initial phase of the project

comprises 61 roadside GSM repeater sites of varying

sizes (500W to 1200W).

As electricity supply clearly cannot be made

economically available for such sites, Libyana

was faced with a challenge of how to power the

repeaters. Laying cables out to nearby regions and

installing site transformers would be too costly,

as would the refuelling, cooling and maintenance

requirements of diesel generators.

The area does, however, enjoy a great deal of sun.

The solution therefore, lies in solar power systems

supplied by Sollatek, comprising solar modules, solar

support structures, a charge controller and a sealed

maintenance-free battery. The system is guaranteed

to work beyond the lifetime of such repeaters as they

become obsolete due to the rapid pace of mobile

telephony development.

The battery and charge controller are to be

housed in a passive cooling shelter (PCS) and heat

storage system to regulate the temperature of the

equipment at a maximum of 37.5°C, even when

outside temperature hits 50°C! This is achieved by

capturing the coolness of the night air and releasing

it during the warm hours of the day and the reverse

at night. As temperatures can range from 50°C to

0°C across the year in Libya, the PCS, requiring no

electricity, will also prolong the battery life.

A new feature, the web-based control console, will

enable technicians to control all 61 sites from a single

location, anywhere in the world.

“The time and cost-saving benefits of the control

console will increase our market potential across

Libya and other African regions, where solar-powered

installations are often required in remote locations,”

said Manhal Allos, Managing Director at Sollatek.

“And to further demonstrate our commitment to

Libya, we are bringing several Libyan engineers to

the UK for a two-week training course to assist with

the smooth running of the new sites.”

Work on the project, which will cover 5000 km,

began on 12th April 2007. Sollatek is also contracted

as a preferred supplier for any further expansion

work.

Sollatek’s association with the country began in

1996, when the company was contracted to install

22 solar power microwave repeater sites. The Sollatek

Libya office was then established so as to ensure an

efficient installation and provide after-sales service.

1999 saw another eight sites erected followed by a

further 34 in 2001.

“Our work in Libya has acted as a point of reference

for other African countries looking to invest in

solar power. It shows the popularity of solar power

as a reliable and low maintenance energy option

along with our attentive customer care,” concludes

Manhal Allos.

Distribution

Sollatek Distribution has been busy over the last year developing a number of external solar-powered lighting systems for use across the UK.

Prohibitive costs of mains cabling and environmental

concerns are leading local authorities, housing associations

and owners of private residential and commercial premises

to opt for a solar-powered lighting solution.

As a result, we have received several enquiries through our

website and are currently continues overleaf ➲

Sollatek engineer installs solar power for charity in ChadRichard Brown - chief electronics design engineer

Richard Brown combines engineering know-how with his church work to improve the lives of people in Africa.

Working through his local church, Richard and two

fellow engineers recently made a memorable two-

week trip to Chad to provide solar power systems for

a church choir and a local hospital.

“Our church mounts a project like this every year

or 2, bringing help to people in the greatest need.

Chad lies in an equatorial region covering some of

the world’s most desperate nations,” said Richard

of the country he first visited on a church mission

in 2004.

Outside the capital city of N’Djamena, electricity in

Chad is a rare commodity. What scant supply there

is comes from ageing generators with unreliable

transmission systems. The benefits of solar power,

therefore, are obvious. It uses the natural resource

that Chad has in abundance and is autonomous.

The other project was to provide solar power

lighting at the local hospital which, incredibly,

operated by candlelight and torches after dark. This

installation has revolutionised the working practices

in the consultancy and delivery rooms as well as the

dispensary. The work attracted huge interest from

the local people.

The logistics for the trip were meticulously planned.

Explains Richard, “We had to consider how the local

people would service the installations and make

sure that replacement parts could be sourced locally.

This, as well as high shipping costs, ruled out solar

deep discharge batteries. Instead we used lorry

batteries, oversizing the systems to compensate for

their poor performance.”

After flying to N’Djamena, the team travelled south

in trucks, enjoying breathtaking scenery and, for

part of the way at least, a newly finished road. Also

welcome was the sight of mobile phone masts – an

unexpected bonus as there was no mobile coverage

in Chad on Richard’s last trip. It didn’t escape the

engineers’ notice however, that the masts were

powered by generators which would require a

cooling system. They foresaw problems with this as

the dry dust has a tendency to clog the filtration

system. With mobile phone contact now a possibility,

the team installed a power outlet socket to the

system to charge the handset, thus leaving a supply

for future organisations.

Another beneficiary of the engineers’ work is an

organisation called SIL who work to get the local

languages into written form. From its offices, SIL’s

staff can now access the solar power, along with that

from a generator left by a foreign contractor, to run

its computers and provide lighting.

The trip was also a gastronomic eye-opener:

amongst the delicacies offered to the team were

plaited goats’ intestine and ground millet containing

almost as much sand as cereal. Water had to be

filtered before use.

For Richard’s team and the local community,

however, the project was a resounding success. “We

have some fabulous photos showing the installations

being put to good use. We hope we have helped the

lives of people who, after sunset, lived in the dark.”

Richard also took a number of Sollatek’s GlowStar

solar powered lanterns. These were donated to

various people in remote locations as a means of

lighting homes in the evening.

Models :

SP110PS, 120PS, 130PS, 135PS, 140PS

General:

Solar cells directly convert sunlight into electricity by means of the photovoltaic effect. This occurs when photons are absorbed by a solar cell which generates a voltage across it terminals. Cells are connected in series within a solar module to provide sufficient voltage to operate a system. Modules can be connected in series and parallel to increase the system power. This solid state process provides a clean, silent, non-polluting and reliable source of electrical energy.

Sollatek’s high efficiency solar modules are constructed for 36 multicrystalline cells. The cells are individually tested and matched for optimum performance before being built into the protective module structure. A Tedlar® base is used and ethylene vinyl acetate encapsulant. High transmission tempered glass protects the cells from the front and a high strength polymer sheet at the rear. A reinforced aluminium frame completes the laminate structure which is fully sealed against moisture and protected from environmental and mechanical damage.

The Sollatek series of valve-regulated, gelled electrolyte batteries are designed to offer reliable, maintenance free power for photovoltaic applications where frequent deep cycles are required and minimum maintenance is desirable.

Features:

• Maintenance free

• Sealed valve regulated

• Low self discharge rate

• 100% gelled electrolyte• Multi position installation

• Working life of up to 5 years

• No special battery room required

General:

The sollatek gel sealed construction eliminates the need for periodic watering, corrosive acid fumes and spilling, therefore allowing the batteries to be easily transportable and installed in any position except upside-down.

A gel battery is a ‘recombinant’ battery as the oxygen produced during charging on the positive plate recombines with the hydrogen produced at the negative plate to produce water, which replaces the moisture in the battery. The SGB batteries are therefore maintenance free in that they never need watering.

A yearly check of the battery terminals for corrosion is recommended.

Applications:

• Solar home lighting systems

• Remote monitoring and control

• Solar powered electric fences

• Solar powered marine buoys

• Solar powered street lighting

• Solar emergency telephones

• Unmaintained solar systems

Professional-grade maintenance-free batteries for the telecoms industry

The Sollatek ACSP Solar pumping systems are specially designed for water supply and irrigation in remote areas where no reliable electricity supply is available.

Features:

• Extremely long life

• Unattended operation

• Easy installation

• Very low maintenance

• Good quality water 24 hours a day

General:

Factors such as extremely long life, unattended operation, easy installation and very low maintenance requirements are important in pumping systems, and solar systems are specified over diesel generators for these and other reasons.

The solar modules use the free and abundant energy of the sun to directly power the water pump during daylight hours without the need for fuel or constant maintenance. The water is normally stored in a nearby water tank ensuring the availability of good quality water 24 hours a day.

The ASCP water pumping systems have an operational range of 2m3(2,000 litres) to 208m2 (208,000 litres) per day, with pumping depths of up to 120 metres (395 feet). The submersible pumps are designed to fit into walls as small as 100mm (4 inches) in diameter, with larger flows requiring 150mm (6 inches) diameter walls.

The graph overleaf gives an indication of water output and various heads. Sollatek can provide accurate computer-assisted design tailored to client’s requirements and location.

Solar Water Pumping (Pro) June 06 Revision 1.0 Stock number 00036712

The Sollatek range of area and street lighting systems are completely self contained, requiring no electricity line extensions and are maintenance-free, making them ideal for locations where utility power is unavailable or uneconomic.

Applications:

Lighting of streets, markets, squares, car parks, bus stops, rural roads, roundabouts, crossings, footpaths, camp sites, beaches, service stations and many more applications.

Features:

• No utility line extensions

• No utility bills

• Fast and simple installation

• Location flexibility

• Maintenance -free

• Automatic operation

• High reliablity and long lifetime

General:

The systems generate their own electricity from the solar modules during the day, which is stored in deep cycle maintenance- free batteries for night time use. Intelligent electronics sense nightfall and automatically activate the lamp which, via a user settable timer, can operate either for a pre-set number of hours, or until dawn. An internal charge controller protects the battery against over charge and over discharge.

Sollatek’s ‘SL’ systems utilise either compact fluorescent lamps (white light) or high efficiency SOX-E lamps (yellow light). These types of lamps together with Sollatek’s light inverters ensure very long lamp lifetimes and reliable operation even in the harshest of conditions.

All materials used in the SL systems construction are completely protected against corrosion and are vandal and theft resistant.

Installation of the SL system is very simple and very flexible, with the battery located underground. For specific projects, modified versions of the SL systems can be provided.

The SCC is the product of over ten years experience in the field of solar power. It combines optimal battery charging characteristics with flexible load allocation options and numerous displays and alarms.The battery charging current is widely variable in smooth steps from very low level trickle charge to high current rapid charge for deeply discharged batteries. This ensures maximum possible battery life with little or no electrolyte gassing.The outputs to the loads may be switched according to two independent criteria. If the battery charge level becomes extremely low, the loads may be shed in a pre-determined order, maintaining supply to critical loads for the maximum

period. Loads can also be turned on and off according to built in timers. There are a number of alarms which give indications of various important parameters such as overvoltage and overload. There are user-controlled settings such as load on/off timers and high voltage disconnect level. The unit is suitable for use with many different battery types. The type in use may be selected to enable the SCC to utilise optimum charge/discharge characteristics for the particular battery.These amongst many other features make the Sollatek SCC the most advanced solar controller available in the world today.
