Skybuilt Power – Hybrid Wind-Solar in a Shipping Container
Check out the Skybuilt MPS (Mobile Power System). These transportable (not exactly “portable”) power systems fit inside a standard shipping container, which means it can be moved using standard rail, ship, and trucking systems. It can also be dropped by parachute. Power output depends on the configuration, but ranges from 1KW up to 50+ KW. It looks like their basic configuration uses wind and solar power, the higher power systems would probably require fuel-powered (diesel or gas) generators.
From the Skybuilt web site:
The MPS is a complete power station in a standard shipping container. It can be transported by truck, train, ship or plane.
At the site, you can deploy solar panels or wind turbines in just a few hours, for self-generated power. Or, use diesel, propane, natural gas or gasoline-powered generators.
The interior of the MPS can be used for anything—air-conditioned office space, telecommunications, medical center, emergency operations/command center or storage.
It reminds me of the shipping containers used for buildng rural telecenters in the LINCOS program. Also some prototype mobile command centers at the Future Battle Lab back in the late 80’s, which were containers stuffed full of computers and electronic equipment in shock mounts that could be dropped out of a C-130 and unfolded into a working field command post.
Looks expensive, but would be great for setting up a remote facility somewhere in a hurry.

Thank you for your article on this is very important subject.Very informative and easy read.It certainly is a very easy installation once it arrives at the customer. Although perhaps the small amount of energy that the unit will generate is slightly counter balanced by the emissions necessary to ship a bulky, heavy steel box from china.I expect that i will get the further details.
Thanks,

Not sure who this product is aimed at. It certainly is a very easy installation once it arrives at the customer. Although perhaps the small amount of energy that the unit will generate is slightly counter balanced by the emissions necessary to ship a bulky, heavy steel box from china?
Has this product’s life cycle been analyzed at all?
