Features
Designed to fit in any environment
Flexible setup & deployment
The SolarDrive CPS units fits and locks on top of a 20’ or 40’ ISO container and can immediately deliver power with only a simple extension cord. The units are handled by standard container equipment or forklifts. It stacks 3 to 5 units to resemble the size of 1 container for seamless transportation.
The system is designed to fit in any environment. Basically, it has 4 operational modes
1) Off-grid mode without generator, powering local loads
2) Off-grid mode with automatic generator control for back-up
3) On-grid, where grid is used for backup when extra power is needed – or if the situation allows it, where excessive power is sold/exported to grid*
4) Camp-grid, where more systems cooperate in a camp grid/mini-grid, possibly including other power sources like generators, wind power etc.
* Exporting power to public grid is governed by local regulations and will not be allowed everywhere.
Basic modes can be easily selected at the unit’s control panel or in the app. Each of the basic modes can be further fine-tuned in the software as preferred.

* A master version contains all necessary electronics, charge controller, inverters, batteries and solar panels. A Slave version simply contains solar panels and an MPPT controller. A Master combined with one or more Slaves opens for a significant and economical increase in solar power production.
Practical design features
SolarDrive CPS units are physically interconnected or installed on top of containers by using simple twistlocks or horizontal locks (standard tools in the container industry).
Electrical connection is obtained with a standard extension cord to a distribution board or directly to the container demanding power.
The CPS units are delivered with standard settings for easy setup in common scenarios. In case the standard settings are not sufficient, settings can be changed directly at the control panel or by phone or PC. Before turning the breakers, it is recommended to ground the unit, using the enclosed earth rod.
CPS units comes with integrated storage for extension cords, twistlocks, user manuals etc.
Storage compartment and control panel are protected by sliding and lockable doors
