Solar container system integrated shipments

What is a solarcontainer?

The Solarcontainer is a photovoltaic power plant that was specially developed as a mobile power generator with collapsible PV modules as a mobile solar system, a grid-independent solution represents. Solar panels lay flat on the ground. This position ensures maximum energy harvest Panels lays flat on the ground.

How many homes can a solarfold Container Supply?

The on-grid version of the solarfold container is connected directly to the public power grid and can supply up to 40 single-family homes with the energy produced (energy requirement of 3,500 kW/year/single-family house). The solarfold on-grid container can also be expanded with various storage solutions.
