Sidewalk Solar Systems
Model HCS-ORN
The HCS-ORN Sidewalk Solar System was designed for use in metropolitan areas for gas distribution and utility system protection where up to 1A of current is needed.
A spacious NEMA-3R enclosure houses the battery and controls. It has two doors with a three-point latch and locking hasp. The enclosure provides room for a large battery as well as test equipment. The solar panel is protected against vandalism and theft.
Continuous potentiometer adjustment and solid-state circuitry are provided for fine current control. All functions are engraved into the instrument panel. A continuous reading voltmeter and ammeter are standard. Compression lugs are provided for battery, solar, and load connections.

Water Tank Solar Systems
Model HCSVPW

![]() |
The HCSVPW Water Tank Solar System was developed to provide cathodic protection for water tanks in remote areas. It features two independent controls, one for tank or bowl inside and another for tank bottom or riser protection. Constant voltage output control is provided for the bottom / riser circuit. Constant voltage or constant potential control is furnished for the tank / bowl circuit. This power supply is shipped complete and ready for field assembly.
Features:
Constant Voltage Control mode: In this mode of operation, the power supply output voltage is set by the operator and is held constant at the setpoint. The rectifier's output current changes as load resistance changes.
Constant Potential Control mode: The operator has the capability of setting the desired reference to structure potential over a wide range (0 - 2.5V). A permanent reference half-cell is required for the constant potential power supply to operate in potential control mode. The reference cell to structure potential is sensed by the controller and compared to the set potential programmed in by an operator. If there is a difference between the two, the power supply automatically adjusts its output to compensate for the difference.
Control Unit:
Structure:
Sturdy, ten-foot long steel support structures are provided with units requiring up to four solar panels. All necessary hardware, wire, and conduit are provided with each system. Theft resistant hardware is provided for all mechanical connections. The support structure is designed for easy field assembly and installation. Heavy gauge steel enclosures with hinged lids and sturdy lock hasps are provided for battery box and regulator - other materials are available as an option.
Solar Panels:
Efficient solar cells deliver superior watts per square foot of module surface area compared to competitive products. Reduced solar array area results in significant system cost savings.
Each solar cell is manufactured with a unique and proprietary bypass diode function that prevents power loss and undesirable heat generation if a module is temporarily shaded.
Crystalline solar cells, low iron, tempered glass front surface, EVA/Tedlar laminate, anodized aluminum frame.
Battery:
100 hours of lead-acid autonomy is standard with lead acid battery units.
Standard lead-acid batteries are absorbed electrolyte type designed for solar application and carry a five-year warranty. Other battery types are also available.
Battery voltage matches or exceeds voltage rating of power supply.
