Austrian solar container battery specifications

How many solar panels does Austria need?

With more than 3,500 MW thermal the country ranks second in the EU, only behind much larger Germany. Austria aims to achieve a 100% renewable electricity production by 2030 with 1,000,000 homes having solar panels fitted by that date. 11 TWh of extra photovoltaics will be needed above 2021 levels.

How many solar modules can be stored in a container?

The container measures 6 meters x 2.4 meters x 2.9 meters and weighs 20 tons. It consists of 240 solar modules placed on a folding system that can be removed and stored. The system has a capacity of up to 140 kW and can extend over a total length of 120 meters (60 meters per side). The result is a maximum possible solar area of around 720 m².

What is solarcontainer & how does it work?

Solarcont, an Austrian startup, has unveiled Solarcontainer, a portable PV generator that can function as a mobile solar plant independent of the electrical grid. In remote areas, it can guarantee stable power supplies and even almost replace public grids with strong power fluctuations, as well as diesel generators.

What is a modular container platform?

The modular platform combines multiple containers with battery and energy storage systems, ensuring easy transportation with standardized ISO 668 container dimensions and a permanent “CSC badge” for security. The container measures 6 meters x 2.4 meters x 2.9 meters and weighs 20 tons.
