Solar Stik™ 360 Terra
Solar Stik™ 360 Terra
MIL-Series 24VDC • Item # 243601
Introduction
Introducing the powerful and multi-talented Solar Stik™ 360 Terra!
The 360 Terra incorporates portability and adaptability, along with a truly independent power source to provide power for nearly any application.
It is a 24V DC solar generator designed to provide maximum solar power using basic operational principles:
- Cooler Panel Operation Temperatures: Solar Stik™ Panel Arms promote 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.
Multi-functional Mast Mounting & Power Options
The Solar Stik™ 360 Terra is designed for stand-alone applications such as surveillance, land-based radar, communications aerials and more. It often marries the role of a traditional mast system with the independence of a solar power. The Mast can be easily adapted to a specific role using either Solar Stik™ Accessories or using common methods in the field.
Portable
It is engineered as a compact design that allows for easy storage, rapid deployment, and secure transport inside TWO custom Pelican™ cases, with room for additional gear.
Rugged Design
The Solar Stik™ superstructure is constructed of aircraft-grade T6061 Aluminum (aircraft-grade) 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.
Once fully assembled, the Solar Stik™ 360 Terra weighs less than 135 lbs. 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 weather conditions.
Adaptable
While a solar generator at its core, the Terra can be adapted to a multitude of roles using Solar Stik™ Accessory Kits. Accessorizing allows the operator to augment or tailor the Solar Stik™ to a specific application using added features including Wind Power, 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 Terra can be assembled by two people in under 10 minutes, requires no tools or special knowledge and all connections are plug & play!
For maximum solar panel power production, the Terra has both horizontal and vertical axes of solar panel rotation.
Three daily panel adjustments of the 360 watt solar panel array will yield a tremendous power gain over a fixed solar array. The average maximum daily energy production from solar power is about 2.5 kW/h, but depending on location and conditions, may occasionally exceed 2.7 kW/h.
Once fully assembled, the Solar Stik™ 360 Terra weighs less than 135 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 weather conditions.
The Solar Stik™ 360 Terra will work with any 24V Solar Stik™ Accessory that has a “Solar Only” power receptacle and is of equivalent operating voltage.
Proudly Made in USA
Built in the USA, the Solar Stik™ 360 Terra has a 5 year limited warranty on materials and workmanship and a 25 year power output warranty.
