Firefly Solar Generators are a completely new way of creating energy for your next event or outdoor broadcast.
Zero emission, true silent running, pure sine wave electric power, no running costs.
Firefly Cygnus Generator – Product Details
Cygnus is a compact, fork liftable solar generator with a high build quality.
Cygnus has a footprint of less than 1 square meter (excluding solar array).
The built in battery bank can be charged using a range of renewable sources including solar, wind and pedal power, it can even be charged using the excess capacity of bio-diesel or hydrogen generators or from a green mains supply.
Cygnus integrated intelligent control panel is easily navigated allowing the use to instantly ascertain the available storage remaining as a percentage. The controller also gives the user a wide range of configuration options to optimise the system for it's environment anywhere in the world.
Operation of a Cygnus solar generator is incredibly simple, all connections are “plug and play” so untrained users can install and uninstall the unit with ease.
As with all Firefly solar generators, Cygnus utilises the highest quality components on the market including the latest Rolls AGM batteries, Studer inverters and Outback charge controller.
