GFS-200-ES

Solar Energy Storage

The GFS-200-ES is a standalone solar energy storage system with the same rugged construction as the GFS-200 solar street light, without the integrated light. A high-efficiency solar module and robust battery storage supply consistent off-grid power for external devices, monitoring systems and auxiliary loads.

Developed in Australia for remote and urban sites where conventional power infrastructure is limited or impractical.

Description

GFS-200-ES solar energy storage system

The GFS-200-ES is a rugged off grid power unit built on the proven GFS-200 platform, without the luminaire. A 227 Wp monocrystalline panel on a hot dip galvanised Q355 steel pole charges sealed GEL batteries, supplying external devices, monitoring systems and auxiliary loads where a grid connection is too costly or impractical.

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 and 9 m, and the pole and footing design is certified for wind regions A to D.

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-200-ES and the GFS-200?

The GFS-200-ES is solar capture and battery storage only. The GFS-200 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 pole and footing design is certified for AS/NZS 1170.2 wind regions A to D.

What maintenance does it need?

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