3 FAQs about How to turn on the solar container communication station battery

Can you put solar power in a shipping container?

There are many ways to skin a cat, and even more ways to add solar power to a shipping container. To be fair, I cheated a bit. Well, not really cheated, but I just went with a retail solar generator system instead of DIYing that part myself from à la carte components.

How do you store a battery?

To support them all and keep them off the floor so they don't cut into my valuable storage space, I built a hanging shelf for them. That's probably 180 pounds of batteries all together, so the shelf is made out of C-channel galvanized steel and hung from chains. Next came the air conditioning.

How much power does a solar panel use?

With 1,200W of theoretical power (and probably more like 900W of solid real-world Florida solar energy), that would be a decent flow rate. The panels I used are Pecron's folding panels, which aren't really meant for this type of long-term permanent installation.
