Our latest generation of small area modules offers the following benefits:

Built to last

From mountaintops to off-shore platforms, on weather stations in the bitter cold of Antarctica and on telephone signal repeaters in the hot Australian outback, the technology has been proven in the harshest environments.

Multiple mounting possibilities

Multimount frame allows even greater flexibility in mounting. Positioned parallel to the edge and back of the module, its dual channels accept either M8 or 5/16" hex-head bolts, allowing the module to be mounted from the side or back.

Easier bolt management

Bolts may be located anywhere along the channels; the channel groove is specially designed to prevent the bolt from rotating when tightening, allowing installation with just one wrench.

Long cable for easier battery connections.

A 4.6 meter PVC-jacketed AWG 18-2 polarized cable is potted into the fully sealed junction box located on the module back. The module's electrical connections are sealed for prevention against corrosion and moisture penetration.
