German fluid management company Lutz-Jesco has introduced solar control cabinets to support its pump and water disinfection systems in the event of a power outage.
The system, called Solarhub, is pre-configured to work with solar panels, a battery charge controller, an inverter and cabling.
“The Solarhub 300 has a 110 Ah battery, a power of 350 W and two MC4 connectors that are suitable for commonly used solar panels,” the company said. “The larger version – the Solarhub 600 – is equipped with a 165 Ah battery, a power of 560 W and three MC4 connectors. An adapter can double the number of panel connections per version.”
The company added that the batteries in the cabinets will be gel batteries and the system will be plug-and-play. Lutz-Jesco emphasized that the use of gel batteries is expected to reduce on-site maintenance and operating costs.
“In many developing and emerging countries, blackouts are an everyday occurrence. Vulnerable electricity grids cause regular power outages in hospitals, schools and public buildings,” the company said. “This control box is ideal for Lutz-Jesco disinfection systems used in schools, public buildings and hospitals to remove germs and bacteria from pipes so that people around the world can enjoy safe drinking water.”
The company will release the two versions of the product in early 2025.
