Solar Stik™ 360 Nano
Solar Stik™ 360 Nano
MIL-Series 24V DC • Item # 243600
Introduction
Introducing the “BIG DADDY” of the Solar Stik™ Nano line-up… the 360 Nano!
The 360 Nano incorporates portability, adaptability, and independent power source for heavy duty applications.
The Solar Stik™ 360 Nano is a basic 24V DC solar generator, and is designed to provide maximum solar power using basic operational principles:
- Cooler Panel Operation Temperatures: Solar Stik™ Panel Arms allow full air flow around the panel surface, allowing it to operate cooler than a traditional “flat” or “surface” mounted array.
- Direct Sunlight: The Panel Arms can be adjusted to provide maximum direct sunlight exposure onto the panel surface… more direct sunlight means more power generation!
It can generate up to 2.5 kW-h of daily energy with three panel adjustments during the daytime hours… up to 200% of the power of a traditional flat or fixed solar panel mounting system with comparable panel output ratings.
The 360 Nano is ONLY available with 24V DC power output.
Portable
The Solar Stik™ 360 Nano is engineered as a compact design that allows for easy storage, rapid deployment, and secure transport inside TWO custom Pelican™ cases.
Rugged Design
The Solar Stik™ superstructure is constructed of aircraft-grade aluminum and stainless steel. It is designed to withstand the most extreme conditions on earth for over 25 years. All Solar Stiks™ are Field-Serviceable, and require very little maintenance or upgrades to keep them functional.
Adaptable
While a “solar generator” at its core, the Nano can be adapted to a multitude of roles using Solar Stik™ Accessory Kits. Accessorizing allows the operator to augment or tailor the Stik™ to a specific application using added features including Wind Power, Masts & Mast Mounts (for supporting additional equipment such as cameras), Ground Securing, System Expansion Cables, Power Management Options, and more.
Expandable
Solar Stiks™ are interchangeable and scalable. They can be daisy-chained for increased power generation or to provide enhanced capabilities, allowing the operator to configure multi-faceted system.
Operation
The Solar Stik™ 360 Nano can be assembled by two people in under 10 minutes, requires no tools or special knowledge, and all connections are “Plug & Play”!
The Nano has two axes of rotation that allow for maximum solar panel power production. The panels can be rotated on both horizontal and vertical axes.
Three daily panel adjustments of the 360 watt solar panel array will yield a tremendous power gain over a static position. The average maximum daily energy production from solar power is about 2.5 kW-h (with adjustments), but depending on location and conditions, may occasionally exceed 2.7 kW-h.
Once fully assembled, the Solar Stik™ 360 Nano weighs less than 125 lbs. The construction is primarily T6061 Aluminum (aircraft-grade) and stainless steel and every removable component is leashed to prevent loss. The system can be used in the harshest of environments, and deployed for an hour or a week without regard for the weather.
The Solar Stik™ 360 Nano will work with any Solar Stik™ Accessory that has a “Solar Only” power receptacle.
Proudly Made in USA
Built in the USA, the Solar Stik™ 360 Nano has a 5 year limited warranty on materials and workmanship and a 25 year power output warranty.
