While traditional fixed photovoltaic systems are widely used, an innovative device that is "mobile, storable, and quickly deployable" is quietly emerging to meet the increasing demand for temporary power needs in emergency, outdoor, and remote locations: the retractable photovoltaic container.
Recently, our company completed the delivery of four 10-foot, 46kW foldable photovoltaic containers and five grid-connected energy storage systems in Romania. The project will be used for trade and resale in various downstream applications. This flexible and efficient mobile energy solution is attracting significant attention from customers.
Modular Container + 215kWh Energy Storage System
Build a Flexible Energy Unit
The project configuration is as follows:
- PV System: Four 10-foot containers, each containing 92 500W high-efficiency modules, with a total installed capacity of approximately 46kW;
- Energy Storage System: Five 215kWh outdoor dual-compartment energy storage cabinets;
- Inverter: Shares the same grid-connected inverter as the energy storage cabinets;
- Supporting Facilities: Includes roller transport mechanism, tractor, combiner box, and installation accessories;
- System Integration: The equipment will be integrated into the customer's own EMS for group scheduling and monitoring.
This combined system may be seen as a "plug-and-play" clean energy product, which is easy to transport and deploy in different terrain conditions.
Why Did the Romanian Customer Choose the Foldable PV Container?
Since the customer is not an end user but will resell the system to businesses or local service organizations, flexibility and versatility of the product are extremely significant.
Applicable in Numerous Situations
From remote mining operations, oil and gas rigs, and construction sites to disaster relief efforts, outdoor camps, and music festivals, the collapsible PV container can readily find a place in nearly any temporary power supply application. It is a mobile energy hub, greener than power trucks and more efficient than fixed power plants.
Rapid Deployment + Easy Storage
The PV array is pre-wired with rollers and traction devices, featuring no large-scale construction and heavy wiring. The system is deployable and dismantleable within three hours, and during adverse weather, the array can be simply retreated into the container for equipment safety.
Strong Environmental Adaptability
The energy storage cabinets have a high-level IP65 protection class, which ensures superb dust and water resistance, thereby rendering them highly durable to Europe's and Africa's hot and humid climatic conditions.
The Engineering Value Behind the Product: More Than Just an "Emergency Solution"
Many customers initially viewed the retractable photovoltaic container as an "emergency energy solution," but in actual use, its value far exceeded expectations.
- Reduced Construction Time: Whether building a temporary camp or rapidly restoring power to a disaster area, a pre-assembled energy unit is much faster than building a microgrid.
- Reduced Labor Costs: Traditional installation methods often require several weeks and a team of multiple personnel, while the container system can be deployed by almost a single person, significantly reducing labor costs.
- Improved Asset Liquidity: The equipment supports transshipment, leasing, and shared use, allowing for flexible monetization and expanding revenue opportunities.
- Supporting Energy Transition: Truly transforming green energy from "solid" to "mobile," adapting to the diverse development trends of new energy.
