Abstract
The aerator system incorporates a land-based or water-based floating solar activated water aeration system with integrated linear diaphragm air compressor and controller to provide improved oxygen addition into water. The system uses low voltage and an advanced controller with max power point tracking (MPPT) technique, which converts the solar panel photovoltaic low voltage DC to low voltage AC and allows power generated from each solar panel to be fully utilized.
Claims19
A landed-based water aeration system, comprising:
- a pole secured to a portion of land;
- a frame coupled to the pole;
- a solar panel coupled to the frame;
- an encasement coupled to the pole;
