Small Basic Cabin Example: Coffee maker, router, TV, 16 cubic feet fridge, microwave, small electric oven, lights.
Small office example: Laptops, router, monitors, AC mini-split, 5.6 cubic foot refrigerator
Large Office example: Laptops, router, monitors, AC mini-split, TV, refrigerator, water dispenser, charging multiple devices, large lights, air filter
Built out home example: Although the 12,000W option is hearty, this is not a system designed to power lots of heavy loads that require long run times and may overlap use, like hot water heaters, electric dryers, and electric stoves. Most off-gridders opt to use gas versions to offset power consumption. Still a good choice for fridges and freezers, all range of small appliances, AC splitter units and home health machines.
Expandable Power
Solar panel arrays and battery banks are expandable. For example, 20 foot containers can expand from 3,000W of solar up to 6,000W. 40 foot containers can expand from 3,000W up to 12,000W of solar in the future.
RPS Scalable Ground Mounting
We love the strategically placed solar panels on top of the container roof - we've accomplished this secure mounting with our field tested RPS Scalable Ground Mount. Check out the Scalable Ground Mount page + manual.
FAQ
How will the container be delivered to my location? What about cost?
RPS delivers the container via trailer. Delivery is not included in the cost and transportation will be charged at actual quoted rates. Cost will be dependant on distance traveled, and calculated custom for your location. Estimate is $2/mile per 20' and $3/mile for 40', min $1,000. We will put out for quote on request! Sometimes it's much lower.
Is there a waitlist for purchase or delivery?
Yes, due to popular demand and quality of workmanship, there is a waitlist for both the 20ft and 40ft solar containers. We’ll give you an estimate on wait time and a heads up whenever your container moves into production.
How long does production take?
Approximately 30 days.
Is there a deposit required to reserve a solar container?
Yes, RPS requires a 50% deposit on all solar container purchases.
How does RPS source our containers?
RPS sources “one trip” containers (used for only a single trip overseas, very little wear, newer floors) and “watertight” containers retired after 10 years (may have some dents and welds but the container is watertight with a lot of life in it!). You have the option to choose which type of sourced container you’d like. RPS cleans, santitizes and checks for any contaminants in the wood before moving containers into production. There is a price break on “Watertight” containers, Subtract $2,000 from the total price for 20', and $4,000 for 40'.
What’s the warranty?
RPS offers a 2 Year warranty on the solar panels, solar panel roof mounting and entire Watersecure system (wiring, batteries, inverter).
What kind of batteries are included? What's the lifespan on the batteries?
RPS uses 160Ah, 12V VLRA GEL sealed batteries with operation lifetime up to 15 years and 1,350-1,550 cycles (50% DOD) before they lose only 40% of their capacity. Compare that to standard flooded lead acid batteries and you will see you are getting 3-4 times the lifetime for about the same cost.
