Scope of supply

The scope of supply comprises of the following hardware:
2 pcs. Solar Power System for 661 Wc @ 24Vdc
2 pcs. Solar Power System for 1463 Wc @ 24Vdc
2 pcs. Solar Power System for 1287 Wc @ 24Vdc
The Solar Power Systems are supplied in a tailor made kit for easy transportation and installation. All materials
required to assemble the complete system are included in the package.
Each solar system comprises of the following main components:

Solar array
Each solar array comprises:
Solar modules of 195 Wp / 24 V, each with reinforced anodized aluminium frame (IEC 61215 certified)
Installation materials to fix the solar modules on the support structures are included
Supporting structures in hot-dipped galvanised carbon steel + 140m powder coating to withstand wind
gusts up to 216 km/h at the 30 tilt angle. This support structure is of a unique design offering considerable
installation cost reductions. The support structure is provided with bird spikes for the top rows.

Central charge controller
The heart of the solar system is the charge control unit which carefully balances the energy generated by the solar
modules to the required load and the stored energy in the batteries. The charge controller is based upon the proven
concept of the Tss4U proprietary -Ahr series of controllers.
A charge control unit features all controls. For larger systems the charge control unit is expanded with extension units.
A unique feature of the -Ahr series controller is its three separate solar module inputs that results in a precise
charging regime for the battery and reduces the number of sub-array junction boxes.
The low PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation) rate guarantees no interference in telecommunication appliances.
The -Ahr series of controllers is suitable to assemble any tailor made charge controller system for single, dual or even
triple concept systems. It offers the following features:
Advanced temperature compensated boost- and float battery charge process
Charge controller and extension units for larger solar arrays
Built in overcharge and deep discharge protection batteries
Terminals for voltage / temperature sensor
Reverse polarity protection on solar array module inputs, on battery connection and volt/temp. sensor
Protection against reverse current during night
Low voltage and general alarm
Load output with SOC (State of Charge) dependent switch off limit (excessive discharge protection)
Load current compensated switch-off limit
Over-voltage protection for load due to system high voltage
Over-load protection for load output
Test switch for system diagnostic
Separated built in control signals for powering alarm switching relays
Alarm relays
Nanodac Metering unit / Datalogger
All assembled in a GRP enclosure

Distribution board
The outputs of the Central Charge Controller is fed to the Distribution Board. The Distribution Board is incorporated in
the control box and comprises of:
1 pc. Dual diode
1 pc. Voltage limiter +/- 10%
1 pc. DC/DC converter 24V+/- 1%
6 pcs. / 7 pcs. Output MCB up to 32A

Battery banks
The offered batteries are of the VRLA (Valve Regulated Lead Acid) type.
The temperature of the batteries is carefully monitored by the Tss4U -Ahr charge controller utilising a
volt/temperature sensor directly fixed on the battery terminals to optimize the charging process.
These batteries are of the make Enersys OPzV.
The offered batteries have an extremely low self-discharge and high charging efficiency.
These batteries in combination with the Tss4U -Ahr charge controller offer an economical price performance ratio in
terms of life time expectancy. Battery life time expectancy when used at 20 degrees C (float charge) is 20 years as
confirmed by the supplier.
This battery offers minimum 1200 cycles according IEC-60896-2
This battery is of a type designed for and proven in solar power applications.

Battery box
The battery box is made of epoxy coated SS316, IP43.

Battery MCCB
The battery MCCB is required to protect the batteries in case of short circuit and to provide a voltage free
environment for installation and maintenance of the solar system. The battery MCCB is located in the charge control
box.

Cables
A complete set of cables is provided for installation of the solar system. This set comprises of the following sub-sets:
From solar module to solar module (max. length 1 m)
From solar module to control box (max. length 12m)
From control box to distribution board (max. length 10m)
From charge controller to battery (power cables) (max. length 5 m)
From charge controller to battery (voltage to Temp. sensor, max. length 5 m)
All cables are suitable for outdoor installation UV protected / Rubber sheathed (H07RNF / Energyflex type)
Cable glands are of the polyamide type, IP66.
Please note that the cables from the distribution board to the load as well as earthing cables are excluded from the
scope of supply.

Services
Installation supervision, training for operators and commissioning services can be provided to make sure that the solar
system is handed over to the end-user in the most optimal way. These services are as follows:
1 Day explanation of solar system assembly and installation
1 Day in the field to verify that every component is properly installed
1 Day final commissioning (depending upon location and travel to the site and required system testing)
We require one week notice to plan the service activities.

Seaworthy packing (bulk packed)
As an option the solar power system material can be seaworthy packed. According the Tss4U standards the major
material will be packed as follows:
Solar modules packed in carton boxes and placed on pallets with plastic shrinking
Battery cells are placed on pallets with plastic shrinking
Cabling on drums
Support structures, battery boxes and control boxes in wooden crates

Exclusions from the scope
The following are excluded from our scope of supply:
Cables and cable glands to the load
Cable markers and ty-raps for outside cabling
Anchor bolts for the support structures
Civil work (concrete foundations)
