Solar-powered Remote Automation
Raveon offers several engineered solar options for data communication and remote automation where grid power is unavailable or unreliable.
Remote Solar Applications
The combination of Raveon data radio communication and solar power is ideal for applications requiring the control of switches, pumps, and sensors at a distance in locations where grid power is unreliable, including agriculture, irrigation control, remote pump control and more. By pairing solar power with remote automation, the applications are limitless. Through our engineered solutions we can support many different wireless use cases, especially remote monitoring or connectivity at long distances. Here are several applications we currently support:
Field Irrigation control
Raveon transceivers can be used to manage remote pivot irrigation controllers at distances of 10-20 miles. This is more than sufficient for most agricultural irrigation use cases where controllers manage multiple pivot
irrigators and pumps to operate a regular watering schedule. By pairing with our solar solutions, including the 10 watt panel, this operation can be managed even in remote locations where power supplies are limited.
Remote Pump Control
One of the most common applications for remote control is in the automated switching and control of pumps for agricultural or rural applications. Commonly, pumps for irrigation, livestock or agriculture are located in remote areas with limited connectivity. By pairing our data radios and transceivers with solar power, you can realize the benefits of remote automation and monitoring while ensuring continuity of service.
Remote Monitoring
A common application for remote operation is any use case where sensors or data needs to be collected at long distances. Raveon’s flexible architecture is suited to any application where you may need to monitor temperature sensors, float-level sensors, humidity, light, etc. monitored at a distance. By combining Raveon’s data communication services with solar power and remote sensors you can monitor assets and infrastructure in diverse environments and locations.
Gas Well Monitoring System
Solar powered WellBoss-2 New and Enhanced Gas Detection System for your Gas/Oil Well Properties. 
High-efficiency solar panel and high-capacity rechargeable battery pack supports the four combustible gas sensors and alarming accessories, enabling optimal detection of gas and vapor emissions on your gas or oil well.
Using a Data Radio link provides fast off-site alarms, very economically in remote global areas. Use Data Radios where cell towers or land lines can’t reach, or if you are worried about cell links failing, then use your worn private Data Radio links.
The GasBoss sensors are widespectrum, enabling the detection of some 85 different combustible gases and vapors in their respective flammability ranges.
This type of Solar Powered sensor is available from Raveon or and many of these innovative Rel-Tek sensors are accurate and economical.
Sensors To Use in Remote Areas Powered by Solar
Solar powered batteries can power Raveon’s data radio modems that also have SCADA features to read sensors.
This web page shows a List of Great Sensors that can connect to a our data radio’s with the GPIO interface or the Remote Autonomous Zone Node.
