Project Highlights

• 1.65kW Solar Generation: Five 330W solar panels provide renewable electricity generation from sunlight to supply the solar power system and charge the battery storage.
• 3kW Solar Power System: Manages the generated solar energy and supplies power to the connected electrical load, configured specifically to support air-conditioning requirements.
• 8kWh External Battery Storage: Installed externally on the outer wall of the shipping container to store excess solar energy for use when required while preserving internal container space.
• Air-Conditioning Support: Provides reliable electricity for a 9,000 BTU wall-mounted air conditioner installed inside the shipping container.

External Battery-Mounted Solar Solution

A key feature of this installation is the external placement of the battery storage system. Rather than occupying valuable space inside the shipping container, the 8kWh battery is securely mounted on the container's external wall as part of the overall solar power system.

This configuration is particularly suitable for containerized applications where internal space needs to remain available for occupants, equipment, office use, accommodation, or other operational purposes.

How the System Works

The system combines solar generation, energy conversion and battery storage to provide power to the container's air-conditioning system:

The 5 × 330W solar panels generate electricity during daylight hours. The 3kW SPS manages the generated power and supplies the connected load while charging the 8kWh external battery storage. The stored energy can subsequently be used when required, supporting the operation of the air conditioner when solar generation is insufficient.
