Portable hybrid power for teams far from the grid

Solar generation, battery storage and a backup generator in one unit. Software runs all three and starts the generator only when it has to.

[Mission]

Clean energy first. Fuel last.

Teams far from the power grid usually run on diesel generators. Generators are loud, give off heat and need constant refueling. That costs money, puts people at risk on fuel runs and makes a site easy to detect.

Built for military units, disaster response crews and remote sites.

Hybrid power unit

[About the system]

Each unit combines solar generation, battery storage and a backup generator. Software manages all three automatically.

The software tracks what power is being used and what is available, shifts power to the most important equipment, and runs the generator only when it has to.

[Capabilities]

Quieter, cooler, longer-lasting power

[Software]

Automatic power management

Tracks loads and available energy, routes power to priority equipment and starts the generator only when needed.

[Solar + storage]

Sun and battery first

Each unit draws on retractable solar and 30–60 kWh of battery storage before it burns fuel.

[Deployment]

Fast field setup

A unit sets up in minutes and needs no specialist to operate.

[Climate]

Cold-weather operation

Units operate in temperatures down to −32 °C.
