Industrial Applications of Solar Energy

Solar energy is an ideal power source for a variety of industrial applications. The ability to deliver power to remote sites at low cost is a tremendous advantage for many industries. Month after month, photovoltaic systems from Affordable-Solar will keep the power flowing with little or no maintenance. Industrial uses for solar power include:

Oil and Gas

Solar power for remote well sites is much more efficient and cost-effective than utility line extension. Field monitoring, flow metering and RTU/SCADA applications can all be handled effectively by solar equipment.

Communications

Microwave repeater sites, rural telephony, two-way radio -- whatever remote communications need you have, Affordable-Solar can provide the right system for you.

Traffic Safety

The low maintenance and consistent operation of solar-powered systems make them an ideal choice for powering traffic safety equipment. Message boards, warning signals, flashing beacon systems and lighting are just a few of the possible applications.

Railroad

From wayside signaling to control points and switch locking systems, many essential railroad functions depend on the kind of remote power that photovoltaic systems provide. Additionally, solar is well suited to remote lighting, telecommunications, and backing up battery systems.

Security

With solar power, security staples like call boxes, surveillance cameras and lighting can be run with ease and low maintenance. No matter how remote the site, the equipment can be powered reliably.

Cathodic Protection

Solar panels from Affordable-Solar can easily and reliably provide the DC current needed for cathodic protection at remote sites. A great solution for protecting your valuable equipment.
