Solar Portable Emergency Power Stations
Disaster Response & Home Power Backup
When a storm, hurricane, tornado, earthquake, wildfire or power blackout occurs, there is great necessity, safety and comfort in knowing that you can meet your basic electricity needs. Our solar powered portable emergency power stations meet the needs of both disaster responders and home owners.
Note that the manufacturer of the system depicted here has been purchased by a larger company and they are no longer offering these products for resale. We can configure a solar emergency power system that exactly meets your needs from top quality components at a very competitive price.
The sizing of any off grid solar energy system begins with determining what you want to operate and for how long. Using the most energy efficient devices, even if you have to purchase them, will typically save you more money than sizing a system to operate inefficient electrical devices.
The example 200 watt portable solar panel array combines four hinged 50 watt solar modules with telescoping legs and "plug and play" electrical connectors for rapid deployment and quick set-up. The
foldable array is small enough to fit in the trunk of most full size automobiles.
The rest of portable emergency power station consists of a high efficiency 25 amp charge controller and regulator and a 1,550 watt utility power quality (full sine wave) inverter which provides 120 AC volts at 60
Hz. A 12 volt 100 Ah (amp hour) battery can be included as part of the system, or other battery options are available.
A weatherproof enclosure is included which integrates the solar array connections, the battery, inverter and charge control components.
This system is specifically designed for stow-and-go situations where portability and speed of deployment are essential.
Typical power station components:
• 200 watt hinged portable solar array & integrated telescoping legs
• Weatherproof enclosure for connections and components
• High efficiency components for AC and DC power requirements
• 1500 watt AC modified sine wave inverter
Emergency Preparedness Vehicle Integration
The portable emergency power station can be integrated with trailers, vans and other suitable vehicles used for emergency and disaster response, off grid offices and for other remote situations where shelter and power are needed where there is no grid power. Note that Phocos has negative ground charge controllers designed specifically for vehicle mounted applications.

Typical Portable Emergency Power Station Applications
Application
Run Time
Battery Restore Time
Observations
Laptop PC
25 computers can run 4-6 hours
5-6 hours sun
Can run 5 hours at night but will need 1-2 days sun or larger battery storage
Inkjet Printer
25 printers can run with the laptops for 4-6 hours
5-6 hours sun

1-2 hours
2-3 hours sun
This is one of the heaviest load devices that the unit will run for a short time
Satellite Radios
Can power up to 20 devices for 6-7 hours
2-3 hours sun
Up to 10 radios can be run at night and still fully recharge the battery
the next day
19 Inch Color TV
Can run one unit 4-6 hours
5-6 hours sun
Other devices can run at the same time, will require more recharge time
