FAQs about Make a solar container

How much solar can a 20 foot container hold?

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. 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.

How much power does a DIY solar system use?

This isn't our first rodeo - we have a similar install video of our much larger, more complicated DIY solar system - it has 10kw of solar, 28kwh of lithium battery storage, and 5000w of 120V AC power. We'll be referring to this project a lot as it informed a lot of the decisions we've made for this system.

How do you charge a solar power combiner?

Now let's turn that solar power on. Go outside to the combiner box and flip the breaker on the inputs you're using. Then go inside and turn on the 20amp Breaker. You'll see both lights turn on in the DC Midnite SPD, and the charge controller will slowly ramp up until the full amount of power is coming in. Now you're charging your battery!

How do you install solar panels on ironridge?

The S5 Solar Foot turned out to be the best way to do this. It's just a machined piece of metal with 4 screw holes and an 8mm stud and hex nut. These are installed roughly every 4', and then you bolt down IronRidge's Slotted L-Foot, attach the main XR rail to that, and then use UFO's or Universal Fit Objects to hold the panels in place.
