Description

For sites with sufficient sunlight, solar is an efficient way to deliver DC power to PIT-tag systems. We offer solar power solutions for small- and large-scale systems. The size of the solar power system is directly related to the size of the PIT-tag system and site visit frequency. It is important to size a solar power system to ensure the battery bank is sufficiently charged while also delivering sufficient power to the PIT-tag system. For small-scale PIT-tag systems, utilizing the 12V IS1001 reader model, Biomark provides 120W and 200W portable solar kits. Biomark offers portable solar kits that come with folding panels and adjustable legs for ground mounting. Each kit includes a separate solar controller and wiring that can be incorporated into our IS1001 chest enclosure. The 120W and 200W portable solar kits are recommended for standalone 12V IS1001 systems. The 200W portable solar kit can also be used for synchronized 12V IS1001 systems. For large-scale 24V PIT-tag systems, Biomark offers power-ready solar systems. Power-ready solar systems are designed based on the site location and size of the PIT-tag system. They are built with up to five days of autonomy and each completely tested system includes a solar array, mount, batteries, and associated enclosures.
