Voltaic Systems, a New York-based designer and manufacturer of solar charging technology, is launching several systems that provide continuous power to IoT devices.

Available now, the solar power systems are designed to provide a plug-and-play power supply to IoT devices when the electrical grid is not readily accessible.

The systems include a rugged solar panel, mounting bracket and solar-optimised battery in a vented, waterproof enclosure. The solar power systems are available in five primary configurations: 2W, 5V; 5W, 5V; 10W, 5V; 9W, 12V; and 17W, 12V.

Each system contains either a Voltaic USB battery pack with 5V output, or the V70 battery with unregulated 12V output. The batteries charge efficiently from solar, are equipped with Voltaic’s always-on feature, and allow for remote monitoring of the battery charge level.

The enclosure is made of UV resistant ASA. The Voltaic battery can connect directly to a device inside the enclosure or via a waterproof connection through the enclosure wall. The solar panels are compact, lightweight, and can be easily mounted to a pole or flat surface. The panels have been tested and deployed on all seven continents across a range of environmental monitoring, logistical and agtech applications.

“Our customers are experts in the gathering and analysis of sensor data, but not in charging batteries from solar energy,” said Voltaic CEO Shayne McQuade. “Using our solar power systems, they can reduce their development costs and shorten their time to deployment.”

Voltaic Systems is a privately held company based at New Lab in the Brooklyn Navy Yard, New York. It designs and produces solar power technology for remote and mobile IoT devices, offering a line of industrial-grade solar panels, IoT-ready battery packs and adaptable mounting.
