Introducing the MicroNexus Power Center

January 23, 2012

Here’s our newest product, the MicroNexus Power Center!

We are excited to be sending several hundred complete, pre-integrated 12V PV systems featuring the MicroNexus to schools in Tanzania in the new few months.

The MicroNexus is a circuit protection and wiring integration enclosure that becomes the heart of a small off-grid solar PV system. Connect your solar panels, attach your batteries, and you’re ready to power up! The MicroNexus handles the control of solar PV charging of the batteries, and distributed the flow of current from the battery out to your lights and appliances. We pre-wire the Nexus for ease of installation under remote field conditions or by DIY non-professional installers. Each MicroNexus contains a charge controller (5-30 Amp), a battery meter, room for up to six panel-mount circuit breakers (comes with 3 DC breakers standard), two insulated busbars for DC load distribution, a ground (earth) busbar, and has a variety of knock-outs for easy conduit or “trunking” access.

We designed the MicroNexus to power low-power DC computer labs in East African schools. But its remarkable versatility makes it an excellent choice for a wide variety of off-grid applications. Add an inverter, and run your AC power loads– with up to a 100 Amp DC breaker installed. Need more charging power? The MicroNexus can scale up for PV charge controllers up to 80 Amps or multiple controllers in parallel.

The unit can be purchased alone, or as part of a complete pre-wired PV system, including modules, batteries and all the required interconnections and balance of systems hardware. Give us a call — we’ll custom design and build a MicroNexus system to meet your needs.

As with all SolarNexus products, we source from the best in the business and stand behind our products with a lifetime limited warranted. Creating happy off-grid customers is why we’re in business!
