Range of grid-independent power systems

Residential Estate Security Handbook 2020 Products & Solutions, Security Services & Risk Management

With failing infrastructure and unreliable electricity supply, security systems and powering them has never been more important. So having either an independent power supply for your security equipment or a backup power supply is imperative in today’s world. SBS Solar has a range of solutions to provide power, save on costs and above all provide peace of mind.

That range includes DIY solar lighting solutions, comprising products such as a 10 W solar security light with movement sensor, remote controlled area lighting, and standalone street lighting for gateways, pathways and common areas. Each of these is independently powered from a solar panel and a lithium or deep-cycle battery. Also available is a 5 kVA system that supplies power to a garage door, alarm system, light, electric fence and CCTV system (as well as TVs, fridges and other comforts) for 6 hours.

While a battery backup system supplies power for a limited time, one of the company’s energy storage systems can supply power indefinitely. It does this by combining the battery with a solar system that can be connected not only to critical items, but to most of a household, and will reduce grid usage as well as supplying indefinite power for security requirements.
