Enatel Launches Intuitive “greenSHELF” to Harness Renewable Energy

New Zealand standby power specialists Enatel Energy Ltd. have launched the latest product in its hybrid power system range. The greenSHELF is a 19" rack mountable 48Vdc solar charging system, which intelligently monitors energy use to intuitively blend solar — and wind — energy inputs. The greenSHELF maximizes the energy created by PV panels: harvesting the sun’s energy sooner and for longer than comparable devices. Integration of renewable energy sources and microgrids will be significant topics of discussion at Darnell’s Energy Summit to be hosted in Dallas, Texas, September 9-13, 2013.

Tower companies and network operators will experience a considerable reduction in their operating costs, an increased return on their investment and reduced CO2 emissions at off-grid sites. They will also have added reassurance with inclusion of various safety and infrastructure preservation elements which satisfy regulatory requirements, such as earth fault detection. Its modular design means the greenSHELF is an easy, expandable standalone addition to an existing communications site, or it can be installed as part of Enatel’s unique SYNERGi full hybrid solution. It can also be configured for use with wind turbines.

Enatel’s Sales Manager Damien O’Regan is thrilled with the new product. “Our customers demand the best so we’ve developed the greenSHELF to offer them the means to meet growing green initiatives while making significant operational savings” he says. “It’s quite an achievement. Conversion efficiency above 97.5%, compatibility with broadest range of solar panels, and the ease to configure against varying site demands means it’s truly representative of the highest performance and greatest versatility.”

Its functional design and compact style, combined with its ultra-high efficiency rating puts the greenSHELF at the forefront of the industry. It includes advanced battery management technology, plus logging and communication options for remote monitoring. The greenSHELF is designed and manufactured in New Zealand. The greenSHELF can be configured to support either solar or wind generation inputs and is available from Enatel Energy now.
