As many Australian’s are coming to learn and acknowledge, Off Grid is a growing trend in Australia and all across the world, Ian Lewis verifies this by stating “The social and economic benefits of off-grid electricity are being felt across the continent” of Africa. This is not limited to the residential market either, instead demand for off grid solar in the commercial market is rapidly increasing. The primary issue associated with solar and battery storage is associated with it’s requirement to be fixated, traditionally via racking on a roof, or on ground mounts. This is a major issue for organisations who require movable off grid power between sites. Hence, arrives the containerised solutions.
Organisations in Australia, Papua New Guinea, and the remainder of the South Pacific region in particular are showing great interest in Commodore’s Portable Off Grid Power Stations. If you prefer to watch a short video which has lot’s of cool/exciting moving parts I highly recommend you consider watching our video below!
Commodore Off Grid Solar Containers also feature an innovative option for a tilting solar array as the video confirms. This is what makes the containers transportable. The Container’s transportable capabilities are what make it an attractive value proposition for:
Railtrack organisations
Builders
Mining companies
Niche market purposes
It’s value proposition is extended by the “Drop and go” nature of the containerised solutions. This is made possible because the battery bank, pre wired board, generator and solar can all be connected ready for use prior to deployment.
For many commercial organisations, this is a gamechanger because it saves time on installation and provides reassurance that the delivered container is fully tested, and is performing to 100% efficiency as a cohesive unit. Further providing reassurance is the fact that the tilting solar array is rated to significant wind gusts as well. The containerised solution in the video above is rated to 130kmh wind speeds, which for most Australian postcodes and internationally, are rarely experienced.
