GFS-400-ES

Solar Energy Storage

The GFS-400-ES is a high-capacity off-grid energy storage system built on the same proven hardware as the GFS-400 solar street light, without the integrated luminaire. It powers surveillance, communications and other external equipment where grid access is limited or cost-prohibitive.

Used by councils, transport authorities and remote operations for dependable, standalone power.

Description

GFS-400-ES solar energy storage system

The GFS-400-ES is a high capacity off grid power unit built on the proven GFS-400 platform, without the luminaire. Twin 225 Wp monocrystalline panels (450 Wp total) on a hot dip galvanised Q355 steel pole charge sealed GEL batteries, supplying surveillance, communications and other site equipment where grid access is limited or too costly.

Storage is two sealed GEL 24 V batteries (2,640 Wh) as standard, with LiFePO4 48 Ah modules available. Tapered poles come in 6 m, 9 m and 10.5 m, on fixed base or slip base foundations.

Options include a Bluetooth adapter, a pole mounted on/off switch and a lockable battery box. Each system carries a 5 year complete unit warranty.

FAQ

What is the difference between the GFS-400-ES and the GFS-400?

The GFS-400-ES is solar capture and battery storage only. The GFS-400 adds the Aspire luminaire and LED arm.

Should I choose GEL or LiFePO4 batteries?

Sealed GEL 24 V (2,640 Wh) is standard. LiFePO4 comes in 48 Ah modules of 1,229 Wh each, which suits sites needing more storage.

What wind regions can it be installed in?

The standard 6 m pole is rated to AS/NZS 1170.2 wind region C. Other regions and pole heights are engineered per project.

What maintenance does it need?

Very little. Clean the solar panels periodically and replace the batteries as needed over the life of the system.
