New family of high capacity rectifiers with seamless solar integration

Controllis has added the Smart48 DC power system to its portfolio. The Smart48 DC power system is an efficient and highly scalable power platform helping telecoms, mobile and tower companies to provide more reliable, efficient and green power for their networks. Operators seeking to decrease their carbon footprint now have the option of consolidating mains rectification and solar power using a single integrated solution.

The power system can produce 2kW to 300kW of power from a single 19” rack which can be split within MPPT solar inputs and mains rectifiers. The system is also able to to prioritise solar power over mains power, saving energy and drastically lessening an operator’s carbon footprint. The system can be deployed in any part of a network, from small mobile cell sites to large data centres, and can enable operators to promptly and easily upgrade their networks to operate on both mains and/or solar power.

“The Smart48 DC power system provides the ideal solution for telecoms operators looking to save energy costs and reduce their carbon footprint,” says Lee Johnson, head of sales and marketing at Controllis. “It allows operators to incrementally upgrade the power to any part of their network infrastructure and easily add solar power where and when required, all from a single compact shelf.”

He continues: “Because we are able to prioritise solar power over mains power, operators benefit from reducing their power costs and having greener, more efficient and reliable networks.”
