Pre-assembled Power Centers!
An
assembled power center usually consists of one or two inverter/chargers
that are pre-assembled to the appropriate electrical enclosure(s) and
connected to the correct circuit breakers, which are installed in the
enclosure. Sometimes one or more charge controllers, system
meters, or programming interfaces will be installed, as well as
lightning protection. The major advantage of buying an
assembled
power center is that the technical work is done for you. The
proper enclosure and related components have been chosen by experienced
professionals. The internal connections have been made with
the
correct wire sizes. You receive a power system that is neat,
properly connected, pre-tested and ready to install with minimal time,
effort, and troubleshooting on your part.
If you are paying a contractor to do the installation, it is certain
that you will save labor costs by buying a pre-built,
pre-tested
power
center because the assembly work is done by experienced
professionals who are more familiar with the equipment than is the
average electrical contractor.
I get my power centers from a well-respected US distributor that
assem bles
their power center packages from quality name-brand
components. I'm happy to be able to offer these packages at a
VERY competitive price.
On the right, you see a Magnum Inverter mounted to a Midnite Solar
E-Panel. This design has the inverter mounted to the door of
the
enclosure, which makes a very compact package while still providing
easy accessibility to the wiring by opening the door. Very
simple
and intelligent. Circuit breakers are on the sides of the
enclosure. Charge controls and other devices are easily
connected
to the power center, and
all of the breakers are in a central location. In the next
photo you can see the same power center with the door open to show the
internal wiring. Difficult to see, but on top of the
enclosure
there are two silver cylinders. These are lightning protectors, very
important to the safety of your expensive components. The
left
side of the enclosure includes a charge control and inverter control
interface.
On the left, you see an Outback inverter mounted on a Midnite Solar
E-Panel with an Outback FM60 charge control. Depending on
your
needs, a single electrical enclosure such as this can house all the
equipment you need for your power system (except for the batteries).
The output of the inverter would be wired into the standard
electrical breaker panel for your home.
The next photo to the right shows a setup for dual inverters.
You'll notice that one E-Panel opens left, and the other to
the
right. The inverter control panels and charge controls are
mounted in the center. As you can see, power centers provide
a
very clean and attractive method for combining your power system
components in a compact package, while providing for the proper circuit
breakers and safety equipment. If electrical inspection is an
issue in your locality, a pre-assembled power center is the way to get
through the inspection with less likelihood of any hassles. A
"nice" installation also increases your home's value if you should ever
sell your property .
Potential buyers want to feel like the job was well done, and
aesthetics are an important part of that perception.
On the left, you see a dual Outback system assembled with Outback
electrical enclosures.
Outback uses two discreet enclosures, one for the DC wiring
and
breakers, the other for the AC wiring and breakers. You can
see
an Outback charge control on the right side.
Please note the distinction between an Outback Power Center system, as
opposed to a Midnite Solar E-Panel with Outback inverter(s).
Both
work equally well, but are of different design.
Midnite
Solar E-Panels with Magnum Energy Sinewave Inverters
These
Power Centers start with Midnite Solar's compact and durable E-Panel
disconnect boxes. The gray or white steel cabinets with right- or
left-hinged doors house Magnum Energy inverters
and all the components
you need to safely convert and direct the electricity produced by your
renewable energy system. Magnum Energy inverters are ideal for off-grid and
battery-backup applications.
