Technical FAQs 4

What is a solar energy container?

Comprising solar panels, batteries, inverters, and monitoring systems, these containers offer a self-sustaining power solution. Solar Panels: The foundation of solar energy containers, these panels utilize photovoltaic cells to convert sunlight into electricity. Their size and number vary depending on energy requirements and sunlight availability.

Can you put solar panels on a container?

We put solar panels on a container for a guy who was powering an RV on his land. He had a generator, and the container was full of batteries to support himself. When we’re on top of a container, we need to build a custom racking system to hold up more than one row of panels, which what we ended up doing for him. (See in image with tan container.)
