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.

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

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.

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.
