How Does Solar Power Work?
Photovoltaic energy is the conversion of sunlight into electricity. A photovoltaic cell, commonly called a solar cell or PV, is the technology used to convert solar energy directly into electrical power. A photovoltaic cell is a nonmechanical device usually made from silicon.
A solar panel converts the sun's light energy into electricity. During daylight, even on cloudy days, this "solar generator" (solar panel) charges long-life batteries, which store the energy until needed or feeds electricity back into the system "grid". Thus, the energy of the sun is harnessed to produce power.
How does Solar Outdoor lighting work?
Solar outdoor lighting is a little more complex. In addition to large capacity batteries and solar panels, the system also incorporates Intricate charge regulators, which stop the flow of solar generated electricity when the batteries are fully charged, and then resume charging when more power is needed. The key to solar outdoor lighting is the solar power pack, which houses photovoltaic solar panels, a proprietary microprocessor control system and batteries.
Does the end user need to purchase anything else in order to make the Mobile MaxPure® operational?
No. All necessary items are included, either installed on the MMP or furnished in the Field Support Package which comes standard with each MMP. A one year average supply of filters and other consumable parts are included in the original purchase price of the Mobile MaxPure® unit. Additional Field Support Packages are also available for purchase should you choose to procure extra Packages.
In addition, the unit is tested at the factory as a total system with the batteries, filters, pumps and electronics, completely assembled. The only onsite assembly is plugging the extension cord from the submersible pump into proper receptacle on the Mobile MaxPure®, attaching the input hose from the submersible pump into the inlet fitting, and connecting the outlet hose from the outlet fitting to the 2,500 gallon pillow tank.
