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.

What is an off grid container & how does it work?

Access to a parts supply chain means that systems can be built quickly, efficiently and without compromise in the UK. The Off Grid Container also transports the solar PV panels and mountings, the only part of the product which has to be assembled at the customer’s site.

What is a shipping container used for?

After one of my most recent Alibaba import adventures, I was left with a shipping container in my yard. These engineering wonders are great for many uses outside of merely transferring goods around the world, with one of the most common secondary uses being watertight storage units.

Can a containerized Solar System be installed off-grid?

Off-Grid Installer have the answer with a containerized solar system from 3 kw up wards. Systems are fitted in new fully fitted containers either 20 or 40 foot depending on the size required.
