‘Green for go’ on solar powered weighbridges

 ‘Green for go’ on solar powered weighbridges
Weightron believes it is the first UK weighbridge manufacturer to develop a green weighbridge, which is powered completely by solar energy. The company's SolarWeigh solar power system provides a zero carbon footprint solution for powering weighbridge installations in areas where mains power is not readily available. This should provide a flexible solution for a range of remote applications in the quarrying, and waste and recycling industries.

The latest solar panel technology, combined with Weightron's low energy consumption weighbridge electronics and digital load cells, provides a high level of power generation and storage. SolarWeigh is available in two versions: Energy-3 and Energy-12, the choice being determined by the operational requirements for the weighbridge.

SolarWeigh comprises four fundamental elements: one or more solar panels, a mounting support post, a battery pack for storing the accumulated energy and an adjustable solar panel mounting bracket.

During sunlight exposure, the energy produced is made available for both the operation of the equipment and for recharging the batteries. During the hours of low light/darkness the weighbridge system is powered directly from the batteries. 

Based on a normal 8 hour working day, the Energy-3 version provides three days power for the weighbridge system, without the need for sunlight to recharge the battery, whilst the Energy-12 provides 12 days usage under similar conditions. Battery recharge time is less than five hours in direct sunlight.
