Technical FAQs 4

Can you put solar power in a shipping container?

There are many ways to skin a cat, and even more ways to add solar power to a shipping container. To be fair, I cheated a bit. Well, not really cheated, but I just went with a retail solar generator system instead of DIYing that part myself from à la carte components.

How much solar can a 20 foot container hold?

20 foot containers can expand from 3,000W of solar up to 6,000W. 40 foot containers can expand from 3,000W up to 12,000W of solar in the future. We love the strategically placed solar panels on top of the container roof - we've accomplished this secure mounting with our field tested RPS Scalable Ground Mount.

Which solar panels do you use?

We use the highest quality solar panels, including LG, Peimar, and Canadian Solar; these solar panels harvest the sun's power and stores the energy in high-quality lithium batteries, controlled with an external BMS. Then the power is distributed using Victron Multiplus units, so this inverter/charger can transfer the power.

Which battery bank should I choose for the Instant off-grid containers?

Choose between a GEL Deep Cycle Sealed Lead Acid battery bank or a next-gen Lithium Iron bank. See below from more details and pictures. Pre-configured by RPS engineers. 370W solar panels power the Instant Off-Grid Containers. Each panel measures 69.1”×40.9”×1.4”.
