The first product in this series was developed to work in case of a power black out.
Now a days there are sites where the operator removes the normal grid air conditioners and replace them with
DC 10000’s because of its low total energy consumption and its ability to work from the battery bank.
In other cases the site is turned into a solar/wind energy driven site.
To save 50% fuel and reduce running hours of the generators the 230/115 volt driven Air conditioners are replaced by the dc 10.000.
