Solar Instrumentation Enclosure
A solar-powered aluminium instrument enclosure designed as a portable seismograph hut, built for aftershock response and semi-permanent earthquake monitoring stations.
- Power
- 80 W solar panel
- Enclosure material
- Aluminium chassis
- Antenna
- Integrated GPS antenna mounted under the solar panel

Overview
In detail
Deployment
The aluminium chassis is light enough to carry (before batteries are added), making it suited to rapid aftershock deployments as well as semi-permanent monitoring stations. The enclosure is weatherproof, robust and simple to set up.
Connectivity
A standard GPS antenna is mounted under the solar panel, with a flat section on the lid available for mounting external cellular or WiFi aerials, or a microphone.
Sensor access
Custom cable ports allow external sensor access while maintaining weather resistance, and a sensor mounting plate can be embedded in the floor of the enclosure.
