What is a solar-box & how does it work?

Austria-based Alternative Energy Projects (AEP) has unveiled its first complete mobile power plant. The “Solar-Box” is a 20-foot container with solar modules, an electricity storage unit, and a hydrogen storage system. The solution increases solar self-consumption and reportedly works both on-grid and off-grid.

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.
