Off-grid solar provider, Sun King, has unveiled its most powerful home energy system to date, featuring the ability to charge laptops and support high-definition televisions.
Recently launched, the HomePlus Max marks a significant step forward for the company, which has now sold over 30 million solar products globally since its inception.
The new flagship model is designed to provide a “grid-like” experience for the estimated 600 million people in Africa living without reliable electricity.
The HomePlus Max is the latest entry in Sun King’s third generation of solar technology, replacing the popular Home 500X model. It joins the existing HomePlus and HomePlus Pro range, but offers higher brightness and faster charging capabilities than its predecessors.
“Drawing on 15 years of industry leadership, the system is capable of illuminating up to four rooms simultaneously. It is also powerful enough to run a suite of modern appliances, including the companys new 43-inch HD TV, a pedestal fan, and a radio,” the cleantech firm stated.
In addition, the firm said, “One of the most notable technical upgrades is the inclusion of USB-C charging, allowing users to power laptops and other high-capacity battery devices that were previously incompatible with smaller off-grid kits.”
In a first for the companys residential line, the HomePlus Max features dual-charging functionality. The unit’s battery can be replenished using the included roof-mountable solar panel or via a standard electrical grid connection.
This hybrid approach is intended to offer extra protection against power outages for those living in “weak-grid” areas, where electricity supply is often intermittent.
“The HomePlus Max sets a new benchmark for what a solar home system can deliver,” said T. Patrick Walsh, Co-Founder and CEO of Sun King. “It offers bright modern lighting, fast charging for multiple phones, and laptop charging capability, all while powering a Sun King TV or pedestal fan.”
“Pay-as-you-go” accessibility
Despite the increase in power, the company said the system remains aimed at low-income households and small businesses. To manage costs, the entire HomePlus range utilizes Sun King’s EasyBuy technology.
This “pay-as-you-go” model allows customers to bypass high upfront costs by paying for the equipment in small, manageable instalments over time.
The system streamlines home security and energy efficiency through a plug-and-play setup designed for immediate use, featuring a security light capable of detecting motion up to seven metres away.
To ensure longevity, it utilizes an intelligent battery management system that automatically dims lighting to conserve power whenever the charge runs low.
The HomePlus Max is now available through Sun Kings global network of agents, retail shops, and online platforms.
