The Tuvalu electrical grid operates at 220 Vac 50 Hz, and AIMS Power Inverters can be a precious resource in the event of a power outage. In a place like the Tuvalu, power outages can be common due to natural disasters and other uncontrollable events. Visitors of Tuvalu and current residents know that power outages happen “all too often”. Weather is probably the biggest obstacle that power systems face in the Tuvalu, but the public utilities are also unstable at times due to technical difficulties and lack of resources as well.
Tuvalu is an attractive location to live, especially among expatriates and retirees, and they learn quickly that having a backup power system is a necessity on this island.
A back-up power system running off AIMS Power inverters is incredibly handy during such an event, because it provides access to appliances needed for survival. For instance, having a backup system to power a water pump could be the difference between keeping a home from flooding during a tropical storm or hurricane. The power inverter has the ability to harness the power of high voltage direct current (DC) power produced by batteries and transform it into alternating current (AC) electricity that can be used to power a water pump and/or other appliances.
The AIMS Power 1500 watt solar inverter charger, with built in battery charger and solar charge controller, is the perfect example of a product that could make a serious difference in your life on the island.
AIMS Power inverter resiliency is another important aspect of creating a backup power system in a place vulnerable to heavy storms like the Tuvalu. AIMS inverters are equipped with conformal coating on all its electronic boards, which makes them marine-grade and capable of withstanding extreme tropical conditions.
Keeping your deep-cycle batteries charged can also be a hefty task, but residents of the Tuvalu have an advantage. It’s well known that the sun hardly ever ceases from shining on the island throughout the year, making AIMS solar panels a great option to keep a battery bank charged year round in the Tuvalu. If the battery bank has enough amp hours and the inverter has enough wattage capacity, then power outages will no longer be an issue. A proper solar setup could supply enough power to completely drop any reliance on Tuvalu’s utility company.
