Protecting Critical Government Infrastructure
Military and Homeland Surveillance
IP Video AnyWhere Solar Powered!
IP Video solutions are the next wave in CCTV surveillance. The ability to monitor your systems from anywhere, IP video solution.
Keep an eye on your critical facilities at all times.
With OkSolar’s IP Video Anywhere, you can monitor sites several thousand miles away as if they were across the street. Our system facilitates remote site surveillance through energy-independent operation and allows video to be transmitted over IP without any physical lines being installed. Companies with remote or hard to access assets, such as oil and gas pipelines, bridges or rural properties, have not had an effective, economical solution for protecting those assets. Some of the features like automated archiving allow you not only to track construction progress in real time but also to retrieve past images which can be used to resolve issues quickly.

Battery Backup Systems for LED Traffic Signs Increase the public safety and reduced traffic congestion by allowing traffic lights to function even during a power failure. A typical traffic signal intersection experiences eight to ten local power outages annually. With IQUPS battery backup power, some or all the traffic control signals can continue to operate. This seamless switchover to battery power increases public safety and eliminates the need to dispatch police or other service personnel to direct traffic. If all traffic signals were converted to LEDs, the battery backup system would allow full operation of the traffic signals during a power outage, thus alleviating traffic congestion.
Important feature is the battery backup system’s ability to maintain the memory of the traffic signal controller. The controller is responsible for sequencing the on and off times of the various signals. With a battery backup system, the controller’s memory can be maintained and return to normal operation once the outage has ended. This feature has eliminated the time spent to reprogram controllers after a power outage
Traffic IQUPS It is designed to provide backup power for critical LED traffic light intersections. With 1,000 watts of true sinewave power available, IQFuel Cell and maintenance free Deep cycle batteries.
Traffic IQUPS will drive most large LED systems. Its pure sinewave output is cleaner than utility power, making it ideal for all loads.
Total distortion is typically less than 1.5%. Manufactured in the USA to the highest standards possible, Traffic IQUPS system is the best choice for critical load protection. power outage knocked out traffic lights, backup generators, emergency generator
Depending on the consumers needs, the IQFuelCell automatically charges the battery with up to 100 Ah per day. As independent power supply or in combination with other systems, the IQFuelCell runs self-sufficiently for months.
The circuit is fully protected via breakers and fuses on the AC input, connection to the batteries, and DC loads. Outdoor, lockable, aluminum enclosure includes tamper-proof hardware suitable for pole or wall mounting. DC.

Airport and Heliport landing back-up Battery Charger: 12Volts, 24 Volts, 36Volts, 48 Volts -120VAC or 230VAC Using state-of-the-art, switch-mode technology, the DLS Power Supply series is engineered with the user and variable environmental conditions in mind. Extra care has been given to insure many years of service-free operation, even when subjected to extremely harsh conditions. Batteries are charged quickly and efficiently without over charging and pumps, motors, and fans operate perfectly for prolonged life.
OkSolar.com has decided to adopt QR-Codes in our manufacturing process to streamline support and maintenance in all of our applications, resulting in savings for Government Agencies.

What size
system should I have installed?
For most residential and small offices, a 1 kilowatt to 3 KW
system should add some real value. For smaller homes and limited
roof space, a 250 or 600 watt system can be installed.

-
Square feet - Watts
A rough calculation is that 100 watts of AC peak power require
12 square feet of roof space - or 1 KW requires 120 square feet.

What size system do I need?
It is very easy to calculate your system
size. First, you need to obtain your daily power consumption
average in units of kilowatt hours (kWh). This power consumption
will be listed on your electric bill. Use the instructions below
to make this calculation if this average daily power consumption
is not provided by your utility company.
Total kilowatt hours (kWh) used: (a)
Number of days in billing cycle: (b)
Average daily kilowatt hours (kWh) used: (a)
/ (b)=
The number calculated for your Average daily
kWh used can now be used in the exact system size can be
calculated by our engineers.
