Design Philosophy for This Kit
- KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid)
Minimise the parts needed, and include all cables/accessories in the kit.
The solar controller chosen needs no onsite programming; it is pre-configured by us to suit the LiFePO4 battery.
- Low Self-Consumption
By focusing on electronics that are very efficient and draw very little power themselves, the overall system design preserves the battery reserves for the powered devices. - The Solar Charger in this kit has very low self consumption: 0.2 Watts.
- The PoE switch in this kit has low self-consumption: 2 Watts
- LiFePO4 (Lithium) Battery
This kit is designed around a LiFePO4 (Lithium) battery that offers these advantages over Lead-Acid:- Smaller (and lighter) for the same energy capacity.
- Built-in Battery Managment System (BMS), that protects against Over Charge, Over Discharge, and Over Current
- 24 and 48 V PoE supported
The included smart PoE switch can power both 24 and 48 V PoE devices. This switch has an industrial temperature rating.
- Solar Panel Cables Included
Cables with standard MC4 connectors are included. This kit is designed to use two solar panels (160 W & 100 W) for a total of 260 W solar power. One Dual Panel Kit is included to safely link the two panels.
- Managed
The included Managed, Industrial 24/48 V PoE switch allows remote monitoring/control of the PoE voltages, etc. In factory default mode, this switch auto-switches between 24/48 V PoE on ports 3-8. (Ports 1-2 are 48V only).
Description
This kit is designed to power devices with a total load of up to 30 Watts (W), with 24/7 (hrs/days) availability*.
The 30 Watt figure excludes the system load (solar charger & PoE switch) which has already been included in the calculations.
The device load could be:
Availability *
Designing a solar system with sufficient battery capacity to cover 24 hr periods in the height of summer is easy.
But the depth of winter is the real test of the system.
The table below gives the theoretical duration that the battery alone can power this system plus the device load.

Features
- Complete DIY Solar kit. Battery, and solar panels included.
- Weatherproof. Designed to be out in the elements. All exterior components are UV stable and weatherproof.
- Flexible Voltage PoE. Ready to power:
- 24 V (e.g. Ubiquiti airMAX products), and
- 48 V (e.g. Ubiquiti UniFi products, and 3rd party cameras, etc.)
- Two enclosures. Separate Battery and Electronics enclosures.
- All solar/battery cabling required comes pre-assembled and ready to use.
- Connectors are either colour coded, and/or polarised so costly mistakes, such as connecting a battery backwards, are avoided.
- Two external, 5m cables PoE cables included. Extra external PoE cables can be added when checking out.
- Installation Guide included.
Recommended External PoE Cables
We recommend these external PoE cables:
Add: Remote Management Interface
Adding the Remote Management Kit for USK-30W-2448 gives you the ability to report and monitor live data values across your wireless LAN.
