Solar Power Options for Sirens

The Solar Power option provides an all-inclusive solar powering option for outdoor sirens. Solar powering batteries is an efficient and economical method of powering remote sirens, alerting, or controlling equipment. Applications include, but are not limited to, remote tsunami sirens, muster stations, and tornado sirens.

The PVS260W-24, PVS400W-24, PVS260W-48, and PVS400W-48 provide either 260 or 400 watts of power, depending on your model, for charging batteries in 24 or 48 Vdc applications. These systems are equipped with Solar Regulators for accurate control, protection, and solar panel monitoring. These kits use two 130-watt or two 200-watt highly efficient solar panels, each with pre-wired junction boxes.

The mounting hardware is aluminum for lightweight and high strength, able to withstand wind loads up to 170 mph. The kit includes 25 feet of cable to allow wiring from the panels to the Battery Cabinet. The Solar Regulators support gel, lithium, sealed, or flooded batteries with temperature compensation to extend battery life and improve system performance. Federal Signal determines the proper direction and tilt for each solar application based on location. Federal Signal recommends gel batteries for solar applications.
