Cool thought – deliver solar power, with racking and wiring already in place, in stacked format with wheels in shipping containers. The world has learned how to deliver shipping containers like no other thing on the planet. Some ratio of these units to shipping containers of batteries and we got 24/7 power.

SOURCEARENA said on Tuesday that it had awarded $289,725 in grant funding for ECLIPS Engineering to design, manufacture and test its rapidly redeployable Container Roll Out Solar System (CROSS). Each 20ft CROSS unit can provide up to 2.1kW of power, and can be stacked up to seven high in a single shipping container. The 40ft units can supply up to 4.3kW each and can also be stacked up to seven high.
