RLH 24V 300 Watt
Solar Power Supply
Solar power system with 150AH backup
battery in NEMA-4X Cabinet
Overview
The RLH 300W solar power supply is a fully integrated solution
provide remote powering for industrial equipment. RLH solar
power supplies are engineered with durable and highly efficient
solar electric panels to ensure reliable operation in any
geographical region.
The charge controller continuously maintains the correct 24V
charge level on the 150Ah battery pack, and ensures a seamless
power transition to battery power when needed. The charge
controller allows maximum array current to flow into the batteries,
and the temperature sensor adjusts the charging current based
on ambient conditions. A digital LCD display shows battery
voltage, solar amps, equipment amps, and battery level.
The gel batteries are sealed and maintenance free, and are field
replaceable. The system includes a NEMA-4X outdoor rated,
aluminum cabinet to house the batteries, charge controller and
related equipment. The cabinet may wall or pole mounted (pole
mount kit optional), and includes mounting hardware.
The cabinet comes pre-wired and includes a fuse to protect the
system. The panels and charge controller are covered by our
Exclusive Unconditional Lifetime Warranty.

Installation
Plan the installation of the battery/charge controller cabinet and solar panel array prior to installation. For best
results, mount the cabinet as close to the panels as practicable. Mount the cabinet and Install and connect the
batteries prior to connecting the solar panels. Refer to the battery/charge controller cabinet wiring diagram.
Mount the solar panel assembly in an appropriate South facing (in the Northern hemisphere) location.
•The location should be free of shadow between the hours of 9:00am and 3:00pm
•For the maximum power generation, the solar panels must be situated with the proper amount of tilt for the
latitude of installation.
•Refer to the latitudinal chart to determine the proper amount of tilt for your location. Note that all figures refer
to angle from horizontal.
For pole mounting, mount the panel assembly to a 4” diameter pole using the U-bolts provided. Alternatively,
mount the panel to a wall using appropriate hardware depending on the type of structure. Adjust the telescoping
tilt legs for optimum sun angle, and tighten all bolts securely after making adjustments. Since the top of the panel
is close to the wall/pole mounting, it is best to route the panel wiring at the top.
The panel wiring is connected directly to the solar battery charge controller inside the battery cabinet. A section of
wiring and liquid tight conduit is provided for ease of installation. Refer to the charge controller operation manual
for additional information on the displays and indicators of the charge controller.
