What is a solarcontainer?

The Solarcontainer is a photovoltaic power plant that was specially developed as a mobile power generator with collapsible PV modules as a mobile solar system, a grid-independent solution represents. Solar panels lay flat on the ground. This position ensures maximum energy harvest Panels lays flat on the ground.

How to prepare a solar thermal container?

To prepare the container, identify an outward corrugation for the vent holes (it comes out of the container toward you as you view it from the outside). Be sure to select a corrugation that will leave enough space (about 24”) on either side to ensure that the entire back of the solar thermal unit is supported by the container.

How many households can a solar Container Supply?

Based on an average power consumption of a 4-person household of 4000 kWh per year and a location in Southern Germany, the solar container can supply approx. 32 households with climate-friendly electricity. At a location in Southern Europe it can even be up to 50 households due to the high solar radiation.

How many installers does a solarcontainer need?

At least 3-4 installers and 1 crane operator are needed to put the Solarcontainer into operation within one day. How many households can one Solarcontainer supply with electricity?

What is a mobile photovoltaic system?

That is why we have developed a mobile photovoltaic system with the aim of achieving maximum use of solar energy while at the same time being compact in design, easy to transport and quick to set up. This system is realized through the unique combination of innovative and advanced container technology.

How does a solar thermal system work?

Solar thermal is not a new technology. It is often employed to heat water (solar water heaters) and, less commonly/commercially, air. In either case, the units function as follows (example is with air). A heat absorber is placed in a box with a transparent top/face. The box has an inlet at its lower end and an outlet at its upper end.
