Mobile Solar Container
The Mobile Solar Container is a rapid-deploy solar power container designed for off-grid, temporary, and remote power applications. Built into a standard 10GP or 20HQ shipping container.With integrates foldable N-type bifacial PV modules that ship as a single unit, unfold on arrival, and start generating, it helps reduce field installation work and makes solar power easier to transport, deploy, and relocate.
Because the PV array folds back into the container, this foldable solar container can be transported and relocated as project sites change, making it a practical containerized solar power system for phased, temporary or moving work.
As a flexible foldable solar container, the Polinovel Mobile Solar Container is built for construction sites, mining areas, island projects, weak-grid locations and emergency power support - anywhere fixed solar infrastructure is hard to build.
Optimized for Your Energy Needs
Faster Solar Deployment
The foldable solar PV structure helps shorten on-site installation work compared with traditional fixed solar systems. It allows solar power to be brought closer to the project site with faster deployment and simpler setup.
Easier Transport and Relocation
Built in a containerized format, the mobile solar container is easier to transport between sites. It supports temporary, phased, or changing project needs where fixed solar infrastructure may not be practical.
Flexible Off-Grid Power Supply
The system provides a practical solar power container solution for remote and weak-grid locations. It can support project-based energy supply for construction, mining, emergency response, islands, and other off-grid applications.

Key Features and Advantages of the Mobile Solar Container
Rapid deployment
50 pre-mounted folding frames open on site with no module-by-module assembly, so a unit goes from delivery to generation in a single visit.
10GP: 120 min · 20HQ: 360–480 min · manual / semi / full-auto
Transportable & relocatable
Folded into standard ISO container dimensions, the unit moves by truck, rail or sea like any other container and redeploys when the project moves.
Folded: 10GP 2991 / 20HQ 6058 mm length · ISO-standard
High-yield N-type bifacial
Bifacial modules capture reflected light from the rear face, lifting output from the same footprint compared with standard mono panels.
540 Wp / 720 Wp modules · up to 210,240 kWh/yr
Built for harsh sites
A ZAM steel frame with C5 corrosion protection and 55 m/s wind rating stands up to coastal, desert and high-wind environments.
No foundations or trenching
Counterweight ballasting and a 30 cm minimum ground height mean the site only needs basic land preparation - no grading, piling or civil works.
Off-grid & storage-ready
The inverter position is reserved and the PV configuration is scalable, so the container pairs cleanly with a Polinovel BESS for round-the-clock power.

Mobile Solar Container with Battery Storage for 24/7 Power
On its own, the Mobile Solar Container generates clean power through the day. Because the inverter position is reserved and the system is built to scale, this off-grid solar container integrates directly with a Polinovel battery energy storage system (BESS) to keep critical loads running after sunset.
- Store surplus daytime generation for night-time discharge
- Replace or down-size diesel gensets on remote sites
- Scale capacity by adding containers as demand grows
Mobile Solar Container Applications and Use Cases
Construction Sites
Clean power for tools, site offices and lighting without diesel deliveries.
01
Mining Areas
Relocatable generation for drilling, camps and remote operations.
02
Emergency Power
Rapid deployment for disaster response, field hospitals and shelters.
03
Island Projects
Independent solar supply where grid connection is unavailable.
04
Weak-Grid Locations
Reliable backup and load support where supply is unstable.
05
Mobile Solar Container Cost Savings, ROI and Sustainability
Swapping diesel runtime for the on-site solar power of a Mobile Solar Container reshapes both operating cost and emissions over a project's life.
210k kWh
Annual clean generation
A single 20HQ unit produces up to 210,240 kWh per year (≈ 78,840 kWh for the 10GP) at 1,460 full-load hours - energy that would otherwise burn fuel.
~105 t
CO₂ avoided / year*
Replacing conventional generation with that solar output displaces roughly 105 tons of CO₂ annually for the 20HQ unit - supporting ESG and carbon-reduction goals.
0 civil
Foundations required
Ballast mounting and a 30 cm ground clearance remove piling and trenching, and the unit relocates instead of being decommissioned - protecting residual value.
Mobile Solar Container FAQ
Q: What is the Polinovel Mobile Solar Container?
A: It's a foldable PV array of N-type bifacial modules built into a standard 10GP or 20HQ shipping container, rated 54–144 kWp. It ships ready to deploy, unfolds on site, and generates solar power for off-grid, temporary and remote applications without permanent infrastructure.
Q: How long does it take to deploy?
A: The 10GP model deploys in about 120 minutes and the 20HQ in about 360–480 minutes. The 50 folding frames open with a manual, semi-automatic or fully-automatic mechanism, so you choose the level of crew involvement.
Q: Can it run power around the clock?
A: The container generates during daylight. For 24/7 supply, pair it with a Polinovel BESS - the inverter position is reserved and the system is scalable, so storage integrates directly to bank daytime energy for night-time discharge.
Q: What capacity and configuration options are available?
A: Two formats: 10GP at 54 kWp (100 × 540 W) and 20HQ at 144 kWp (200 × 720 W), on DC 1000 V or DC 1500 V systems. Capacity scales by deploying multiple units side by side.
Q: How well does it handle harsh environments?
A: The frame is ZAM steel with a C5 corrosion grade and a 55 m/s (≈123 mph) wind rating. With 102 counterweight blocks and a 30 cm minimum ground height, it's built for coastal, desert and high-wind sites.
Q: Does the site need foundations or ground works?
A: No. The structure is counterweight-ballasted with a 30 cm minimum ground height, so the site only needs basic land preparation - no grading, piling or trenching.
Q: What annual energy yield can I expect?
A: At 1,460 full-load hours, output is roughly 78,840 kWh/year (10GP) to 210,240 kWh/year (20HQ). Real-world yield depends on your site's solar irradiance - we can model it for your location.
Q: Where is the Mobile Solar Container typically used?
A: Common deployments include construction sites, mining areas, island projects, weak-grid locations and emergency power support - anywhere fixed solar infrastructure is difficult or slow to build.
