Deals for Days. Big home savings are happening now.
550w 38~42v dc is how much a single current generation solar panel can achieve today that you can buy in single or by the pallet amounts, daytime operation business can practically switch to solar with ease today each panel costing 300usd or less in bulk.
In the UK for example it's about 11-15k GBP of raw hardware can power most homes with a 2000w 24/7 load easily and it's very quickly becoming a very sane way to cut out the grid entirely and avoiding hyper inflation.
Had this idea a few years ago, told a friend who aid it was stupid. 😢
They should send these to Ukraine!
On a sunny day that trailer might produce 1.25 Kilowatts per hour. for say 7 hours. or 9 Kilowatts. On a sunny day. A 2Kilowatt gas generator cost 600 bucks. And will use 8 bucks worth of gas to run 24 hours. I have a solar shed backup system about the size of this trailer at home with 6 Kilowatts of battery storage. My system cost $1200 . Nope not portable. Would cost me say $3,000 for a Trailer. My system also has a 3.5 Kilowatt gas generator as emergency back up to the Solar 3.5 Kilowatt inverter. That generator burns 12 bucks worth of gas every 24 hours and cost me $800 . $100,000 for a 1.25 Kw Solar system is completely useless for emergencies. My system has been tested under actual Grid failure several times here in Texas. No I don't sell Solar systems. But there is something seriously wrong with the pricing of Solar systems.
Good article , but there was no need of adding the "wine industry" as one of the use cases, there could be plenty of other usage for this .

I'd scrap the hydrogen generator for more solar, add a satellite phone in addition to the installed Wi-Fi, and place many LifeSaver jerrycans inside to filter as much water as possible. But cool idea.
If I had one of these grind I would buys some land way back in the sticks and never be seen again! This is a game changer with a 5g network to!
This great! When is it’s going to be developed for off the grid living?
during a natural disaster, the last thing I want to do is use water to create Hydrogen. Solar and battery storage is enough
I love the idea of solar power and hydrogen fuel cell. Though, I the case of emergency I think diseal generator would be a better solution for rapid deployment and short term use. Diseal is high energy and easy to transport, as compared to batter or hydrogen, it is more fitting and more efficient per pound (because hydrogen storage takes a lot of space for relatively small amount of hydrogen and battery is dead weight once its dead). It is also more resistant to weather as it doesn't need solar to generate power nor needing to spend extra energy to keep the batter warm. However I can see it being useful for events of long term use. Such as low maintenance stationary power backup or useful for operations that takes weeks or months.
Impressive 😊
We could really use a couple of those in the flood damaged areas here in NZ right now! And that’s a reasonable price for these!! We should have one in every fragile community and currently that’s most of the country on a rolling basis!
Nice sustainable energy power/electricity generator technology. Cool & useful both for critical situation & wherever electric power are needed but hard to gets/reached..
The generator is one of those pieces of technology that won't be snuffed out so easily (if it ever does). When it comes to portable power, it is unmatched. It is not wrong to use to use the right tool for the problem at hand.
Interesting but would this system work as well in say the northeast after a blizzard? Solar makes sense in ares that have a lot of sunshine but what about the rest of us?
“It is not possible to make wine without power”. The CNET editing team really did her dirty.
Where is the "Nano" incorporated in the NanoGrid? I mean my PS5 may have nanotechnology incorporated somewhere within, but it took a look at itself when people asked it what it wanted to be called. 😅
You could pull this behind your Tesla and never be late to work! 🎉🎉🎉
Sorry, I just started watching but the caster here looks like a young Willem Dafoe.
mini wind turbine
Very innovative
It’s like something from Command and Conquer
Ideal in Europe wintertime.
"Wine can't be made without power"
Hilarious
Cost is still a huge issue and is where gas, diesel, and others still shine. They also work without sun. When will someone start mass-producing panels at low costs?
actually first is shelter, not power
Cost creates limitations. We need assembly lines to bring cost down.
When it isn't needed for an emergency, offer free power to low income communities.
Would be interesting to know in the span of a year what the total use of the hydrogen backup. My guess, residual and could be avoided by using more battery capacity for less capital.
Kind of funny how wine is a massive part of the US economy. Basically saying “yeah, the US is basically full of a bunch of functioning alcoholics”
Good Idea but Batteries are much better
That unit looks mighty expensive. It’s only really good when the sun is directly above it or if you lay it on its side lol. Clickbait at best and crap at worst.
What a great idea!
This concept is not new. For the last 10 years farmers have used similar systems in Pakistan to power tube wells. Foldable solar panels are deployed on trailers which the farmer moves to the tube well when he needs to run it. Why moveable trailer based. Well because to stop getting the panels stolen.
I’can’t wait to charge my coffee maker.
this video is all over the place, the clickbait title says its about a solar grid, but then it turns into some all in one emergency response unit.. the solar aspect is marginal at best maybe 1600 watts total in perfect lighting condiitons, this thing needs to be fully topped up before deployment
