SolarConnect – The Ultimate Remote Power & Communication Solution
SolarConnect is a flexible, reliable, and essential solution for powering and monitoring hard-to-reach field devices such as booster pumps, flow meters, and many other remote assets. Designed for locations without access to mains power or wired communication, SolarConnect uses a solar-charged battery system and long-range radio communication to deliver seamless integration with new or existing control systems — or to operate completely standalone.
A Complete Solar Power System for Remote Automation
SolarConnect uses high-efficiency solar panels to charge an onboard battery bank, which then powers the control panel and communications equipment. This makes it the ideal solution for remote or off-grid installations where traditional power supply and cabling are not practical.
