ETFE Solar Panels

A key benefit of ETFE (Ethylene Tetrafluoroethylene) coated solar panels is that they are ultra lightweight yet durable. This is why the range of Voltaic Systems portable Solar Folders feature an ETFE coating which provides a 2mm thin (yet UV resistant) layer of protection. The result is an ultra compact (foldable) solar based electrical power source.   The range of Voltaic Systems portable ETFE coated solar folders feature monocrystalline cells which offer excellent efficiency in terms of light to electricity conversion. Another advantage of ETFE coated panels is that dirt, dust and many other pollutants are is less likely to contaminate the surface of the panels; furthermore when this kind...

USB Battery Banks

Battery banks are handy devices. However, the cheapest available option is not necessarily the best option. Depending on your usage, it may be that reliability, quality or a particular feature are more important than up-front dollar cost. Selecting a well respected brand for your battery bank, such as Voltaic Systems (NYC) is a good move when you require dependable equipment or when you are looking for a USB power bank which continues to offer high capacity over many hundreds of full (charge / discharge) cycles. Specific features of a particular model or vendor’s battery bank may also be an influencing factor when selecting a battery bank. As an example the Voltaic Systems V44 and...

Powering Time-lapse Setups

Powering Time-lapse Setups

There are many ways to shoot time lapse sequences. As you increase the complexity of your setup and add equipment such as motion controllers, tablets, computers, and motors you may find that you require more power than is easily carried to a remote location, particularly if it is a time lapse shot which takes hours, days, weeks or months. So when there is no AC outlet you are going to require one or more batteries that can handle the load. We offer a wide range of batteries. Of particular interest should be the Voltaic Systems V72 which features the ability to chain multiple batteries together to extend run time and which...

Charging Batteries

Charging Batteries

There are many approaches to charging batteries. In particular there are various approaches to charging batteries from solar panels. All Voltaic Systems (NYC) batteries feature various protection systems.    Voltaic Systems (NYC) : Over Charge Protection   Voltaic Systems (NYC) : Short Circuit Protection   In terms of dedicated lead acid battery charge controllers, there are many different kinds of charge controllers. Two popular approaches are PWM (pulse width modulation) and MPPT (maximum power point tracking).  In some setups, the additional cost of MPPT may provide benefits in terms of minimising the charge time or making the most of the solar panel’s current in terms of charging the battery....
