PHOTOVOLTAIC SOLAR SYSTEMS WITH LED LIGHTINGFOR NEW AND EXISTING OUTDOOR STRUCTURES

A well-lit structure is necessary to maintain security. The photos below illustrate the difference only two 7-watt LED lights can make in a 36’ shelter. In the photo on the upper left, there are no lights installed in the shelter

(there really is a shelter there!). In the upper right you can see the light provided by one 7-watt LED light. In the lower right, two 7-watt LED lights are installed, one facing up and one facing down.

Two 7-watt LED lights can be pow-ered by the electricity generated by the photovoltaic panel for up to 72 hours without recharging.

• Off Grid - No Utility Bills• Remote Locations - No Hook-Up Costs• Ecological - No Carbon Footprint• Increased Safety - Lower Liability

SOLUMIN® Solar/LED Light Systems by ICON Shelter Systems Inc. provide years of worry-free light solutions for new and existing open structures. Durable encapsulated LED lights are vandal-resistant and long lasting, requiring minimal maintenance.

PHOTOVOLTAIC PANELS

Sunlight is converted to direct cur-rent electricity using panels com-posed of solar cells containing photovoltaic material. Silicon solar cells are either monocrystalline or polycrystalline photovoltaic for-mat. Operating temperatures are from -40°F to 185°F. Power outputs vary from panel to panel based on materials and size.

POWER STORAGE

Direct current electricity from the solar panel(s) is stored in 12 volt sealed valve regulated gel lead acid type, rechargeable battery(ies). Maximum Power Point Tracker (MPPT) 12 amp/200 watt controller with dusk to dawn or 6 hour opera-tion. Overcharge protection, thermal protection and surge protection. Load function utilizes the output of the solar panel to determine when

dusk is for turning on luminaries and when dawn is for turning off luminar-ies. Battery and controller are en-cased in a steel housing that is at-tached to the frame of the structure.

LED LIGHTS

The LED lights are set in a die-cast aluminum low profile case with elec-trical grooves on the back side to allow for the electrical wiring. The 7-watt lights utilize low power multi-chip CREE LED’s. All systems come with Optical Grade Epoxy (OPE) that encases the LED’s for vandal resis-tance. LED lights are suitable for op-eration in a temperature range from -22°F to 113°F and features an IP67 enclosure rating.

Standard manufacturer’s two year warranty on entire solar powered lighting system and the following various levels of coverage for individual components:

1. Luminaries have a standard 5 year warranty.

2. Batteries have a standard 3 year warranty.

3. Controllers have a standard 2 year warranty.

4. Solar panels have a standard 5 year warranty on materials: a. 12 year warranty on 90% power output. b. 25 year warranty on 80% power output.

SOLUMINTM is ideal for ICON’s Trail SeriesTM shelters, which are often installed in remote locations along biking and hiking trails. These small shelters require only one photovoltaic panel, one battery and controller, and one 7-watt LED light.

For information on all of the Trail SeriesTM structures that are available, please refer to the full ICON catalog, which you can down-load from the home page at:
