Joint cooperation on special photovoltaic solar container system

What is a solarcontainer?

The Solarcontainer is a photovoltaic power plant that was specially developed as a mobile power generator with collapsible PV modules as a mobile solar system, a grid-independent solution represents. Solar panels lay flat on the ground. This position ensures maximum energy harvest Panels lays flat on the ground.

How will the Commission and the solar sector work together?

The Commission and the solar sector are going to negotiate on the best possible format for the partnership, which will enter into force from early 2025. The strategic plan will guide research and innovation (R&I) funding for the 2025-2027 period.

What is the IEA photovoltaic power systems programme (PVPS)?

The IEA Photovoltaic Power Systems Programme (PVPS) is one of the collaborative R&D Agreements established within the IEA and, since its establishment in 1993, the PVPS participants have been conducting a variety of joint projects in the application of photovoltaic conversion of solar energy into electricity.

What is solarcont & how does it work?

solarcont has developed a mobile solar container that stores and unrolls foldable photovoltaic panels for portable green energy anywhere.

How does solarfold work?

With Solarfold, you produce energy where it is needed and where it pays off. The innovative and mobile solar container contains 200 photovoltaic modules with a maximum nominal output of 134 kWp and, thanks to the lightweight and environmentally friendly aluminum rail system, enables rapid and mobile operation.

How does a mobile solar container work?

Its base is made up of a solid floor frame, and mounted on this frame is the photovoltaic panels’ rail system and the folding mechanism. This setup enables easy transport of the mobile solar container via cargo ship vessels, trains, and trucks too, given that the rail system can be stashed until it fits the container’s frame.
