Solar Hybrid Backup Power for Research Labs
Solar hybrid systems with battery storage and UPS backup protecting cold chain, laboratory instruments and critical network equipment.
Unplanned grid outages at the institute put sample integrity and instrumentation at risk. We designed and installed solar hybrid systems with battery storage for priority loads, backed by UPS for sensitive laboratory equipment, with monitoring that flags battery health and remaining autonomy before an outage becomes an incident.
