Product applicability
The following products are discussed in this article:
- SpeedCheck: SPEEDCHECK-12, SPEEDCHECK-15, and SPEEDCHECK-18
When did this update occur
Carmanah started offering the solar kits and solar cabinets across the entire SpeedCheck product line starting in 2022 Q2 with new orders.
New options
Starting with the SPEEDCHECK-12 in 2021, Carmanah introduced integrated solar kits (30 W and 50 W). We have now expanded the solar kits to be compatible with SPEEDCHECK-15/18 radar speed signs. Additionally, the solar cabinet typically used for SPEEDCHECK-15/18 is now available for SPEEDCHECK-12. In general this allows for greater flexibility for smaller/ more compact systems or expanding to larger solar panel, battery, and cabinets if your application requires it.
