Overview
How this machine carries the load.
123-SG-900A10 is the simplest way to put 48 V DC power where there is none: two solar panels mounted as a fixed canopy over the battery and controls, on a compact single-axle trailer. There is nothing to unfold and nothing to aim — park it, lower the jacks and connect the load.
The two 490 W panels form a 0.98 kW array that harvests 4.2 kWh on an average day, and below 0.18 kW the sun carries the load indefinitely. That is the territory of monitoring equipment, gateways, sensors and low-power radios: loads that must never go dark and should never need a fuel run.
Output is 48 V DC at up to 60 A, 2.88 kW continuous, set by the charge controller, feeding DC equipment directly with no inverter losses. The 9.6 kWh sealed gel lead-acid bank carries 27 hours at 0.18 kW with no sun at all, and 10 hours at 0.48 kW, with 4.8 kWh usable at the standard 50% reserve and 6.72 kWh at the 30% setting.
Choose it over the three-panel 123-SG-1A10 where the load is lighter and a fast, fixed setup matters more than extra harvest.
Features and benefits
- Fixed two-panel canopy, 0.98 kW — Setup is park, lower the jacks, connect the load.
- 48 V DC output, 60 A — More of the harvest reaches the load.
- 9.6 kWh sealed gel lead-acid bank — Low-draw monitoring runs unattended.

Every load here runs continuously, and the day is 24 hours — daily draw is the load × 24 h, so 2 kW is 48 kWh. A load that runs an 8-hour shift draws a third of the figure shown and lasts three times as long. Battery-only hours are given at both state-of-charge settings. Solar is a daily energy offset, not an instantaneous power match — over a day it balances, within a day it is not a guarantee of cover.
Size it for your site
Your load, on 123-SG-900A10.
Most sites swing between a low and a high. Enter both, and the hours a day spent at the high, and the figures follow your day rather than a flat worst case. The load is yours — nothing is assumed until you enter it, and nothing that names you is kept; the PDF button builds the engineering sheet from the figures you enter.

Read from the performance table above: engine hours and fuel follow the day's energy, so your day is read at its average load; solar is the published daily figure; battery-only hours are the published bank at your high load. A load held for 24 hours is the worst case at that level. With no days entered it runs indefinitely; a week and a year are your day repeated, at the same sun.
