Amp @ 110 V AC)

● How many continuous watts of AC Power are required at each site?


R: About 600 Watts

R: About 2500 Watts

● What is the average load consumed? kW, kWh?


R: About 1920 Watts

● How large are the loads? kW?


R: About 1920 Watts

● How long will the loads operate? Time of Use? Watt-hrs per day?
R: The loads operate 24 hours per day @ 365 days per year.

● Will the loads operate day and night?


R: Yes. The loads will.
● What is the range, or the ranges of the power draw at each location?
R: From 1920 to 2500 Watts

site?
R: Maybe we wiil have more sites like Maniapure

● Battery Considerations
○ Battery technology type?
R: Slow Discharge (GEL)
○ Bank voltage and capacity (i.e. 48Vdc, 3,000 amp-hours)?
R: 48 Vdc, 40 Amp

● Do the sites have an AC generator available?
○ Yes, They Do
○ What is the size of the generator?
■ We do not have this information right now

● Will remote monitoring be required? If so describe site connectivity


and communication protocols required, etc.
Of course, we need to monitor remotely the site trough IP and SNMP
Protocol (standard MIBs and TRAPS)
