Instant Off-Grid™ Shipping Containers with Solar and Batteries
Our 20 and 40 foot shipping containers are outfitted with roof mounted solar power on the outside, and on the inside, a rugged inverter with power ready battery bank.
If you're looking to buy battery storage for your solar panels, you can probably expect to pay between $7,000 and $18,000. Just know that the overall price range for a solar battery is even wider, with prices anywhere from a few hundred dollars to $30,000+, depending on what you buy, who you buy it from and how you plan to use it.
Choose between a GEL Deep Cycle Sealed Lead Acid battery bank or a next-gen Lithium Iron bank. See below from more details and pictures. Pre-configured by RPS engineers. 370W solar panels power the Instant Off-Grid Containers. Each panel measures 69.1”×40.9”×1.4”.
Most solar batteries last between 10 and 15 years, depending on the type of battery, how often it's used and how well it's maintained. Lithium-ion batteries, the most common type for home solar systems, typically have longer lifespans and higher efficiency compared to lead-acid options.
20 foot containers can expand from 3,000W of solar up to 6,000W. 40 foot containers can expand from 3,000W up to 12,000W of solar in the future. We love the strategically placed solar panels on top of the container roof - we've accomplished this secure mounting with our field tested RPS Scalable Ground Mount.
