A fully self-sufficient power system combining photovoltaics, battery storage and a backup generator in a single container.
The container power plant is an intelligent hybrid microgrid: a solar plant, battery storage, a backup diesel generator and automatic energy management in a single transportable unit. The system was developed in cooperation with the Israeli Ministries of Defence and Energy for the most demanding security applications.
Remote installations run on diesel generators today — inheriting all their weaknesses. The hybrid system solves them at the core: batteries carry normal operation and the generator starts only rarely, as a backup.
Standalone diesel generators are failure-prone, jeopardising unit readiness and critical systems.
Fuel, oils, filters and generator servicing mean permanently rising operating expenses.
Regular fuel deliveries and preventive maintenance cost time, money and logistics capacity.
Growing demand in a remote location means more generators, more fuel and more problems.
Diesel and generators are frequent theft targets — an ongoing security risk and financial burden.
| Component | Specification (according to customer configuration) |

| Backup generator | 32–50 kVA diesel with an integrated 1,000 l fuel tank |
| Inverters | 2×50 kW hybrid |
| Control system | fully automated Energy Management System (EMS) with PLC, HMI and an Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) |
| Communications | secure modem for remote monitoring and control |
| Thermal management | high-efficiency air conditioning, emergency ventilation and a passive reflective coating |
| Weight | approx. 12,000 kg |
PV output, battery capacity and inverter power are matched to the actual loads — from communication nodes to entire bases. The system can be expanded with additional solar containers at any time.
The solar array is stowed along the container sides and unfolds like wings on a hinged structure — no crane and no on-site panel assembly. Batteries, inverters, generator and switchgear inside are pre-installed and factory-wired.
Figures come from real operation of deployed systems; actual savings depend on operating intensity and load profile.
Powering bases, outposts, radars and communication nodes without vulnerable fuel logistics.
Energy autonomy for transmitters, data and control nodes anywhere in the field.
Farms, mines, construction sites and humanitarian operations — reliable power beyond the grid.
A sketch or a list of requirements is enough — we will prepare a solution tailored to your needs and deployment conditions.
