The Portable and Scalable PV & ESS Container is a modular, pre-engineered microgrid system that integrates solar photovoltaic generation, battery energy storage, inverter conversion, and an optional backup generator within a single standard 20HQ shipping container measuring 6058×2438×2591mm. Pre-wired and factory-tested before shipment, the system is designed to operate under standard 20-foot sea container transport conditions, withstanding harsh climate and transit environments while dramatically simplifying on-site commissioning — reducing deployment time, lowering costs, and improving overall system safety.
The solar array comprises 176 Topcon panels rated at 650–670Wp each, mounted on a 44-row aluminum alloy racking structure. Each bracket measures 4726×2103×30mm, with a single bracket installation capacity of 4 panels. The fully deployed array spans 110.4×4.7×1.1 meters in the expanded configuration, or folds down to 4.8×1.9×2.44 meters for transport, with a total installed capacity of 110kWp. The system carries a total of 16 battery units, delivering a combined energy storage capacity of 241kWh to ensure continuous power supply through low-irradiance periods or nighttime operation.
The integrated 60KW on-grid inverter operates at a rated AC voltage of 380/400V (±3%, N+PE) and frequency of 50/60Hz, with a maximum efficiency of 60%. It supports a full working temperature range of 5°C to +60°C (output derated at +45°C to +60°C) and communicates via RS485, Wi-Fi, CAN, DRMS, Bluetooth, and Ethernet/LAN protocols, enabling remote monitoring, smart grid integration, and flexible energy management across a wide range of deployment scenarios.
Suitable for off-grid communities, industrial facilities, military forward operating bases, mining sites, and emergency power applications, the PV & ESS Container delivers a mobile, scalable, renewable, and fully self-contained energy solution that is ready to generate and store clean power from the moment it arrives on site.

Yes. The solar container can be integrated with the customer's existing diesel generator set. An ATS or STS can be used for system switching and control, depending on the specific site conditions and project requirements.
Deployment takes approximately 2 hours, while packing up the system takes about 1 hour. A team of 3–4 trained workers is typically required.
The current design is intended for approximately 10 deployment and folding cycles per year. For applications requiring more frequent deployment, the container body, structural components, and connection points can be redesigned for greater durability. The rails are made of zinc-aluminum-magnesium alloy.
Once the folding frames are fully extended and secured, locking pins are inserted into the square holes at the hinge ends. Steel cables connect the locking pins to ground anchors, with tensioners used to adjust cable tension.
For soft ground such as soil or grass, ground anchors can be driven directly into the ground. For concrete surfaces, the steel cables can be secured to hooked expansion bolts anchored into the concrete.
The deployed system is estimated to withstand winds up to Beaufort Force 12. Ring-type locking pins are inserted into the square holes on the sides of the frames and connected to ground anchors using steel cables and tensioners.
For soft ground, ground stakes can be driven directly into the soil. For hard surfaces such as concrete, the system can be secured using suitable anchoring or counterweight solutions.
The PV modules are mounted within the folding frames. Once the frames are folded into the container, limit pins at the top of the container secure each frame section in place.
Wooden support blocks are then placed underneath the frame to keep the wheels off the container floor, helping prevent axle deformation caused by vibration and road impact during transportation. Shock-absorbing foam is also placed over the outermost PV modules to protect the glass from impact and damage.
Yes. The installation area should meet certain ground-level requirements.
The level tolerance between the two transverse support points is ±5 cm over a distance of approximately 2.4 m. For the two longitudinal support points, the tolerance is ±10 cm over approximately 3.54 m.
When fully deployed, the system extends approximately 90–100 m. Using the container position as the reference level, the recommended elevation tolerance over the full 100 m length is within ±50 cm.
We provide technical support for system deployment and dismantling, including illustrated installation guides, video tutorials, and remote technical assistance.
Routine maintenance and day-to-day deployment are handled by the purchaser. At present, we do not provide continuous on-site O&M services, but our technical team remains available for remote support when needed.
