What is a solar container house?

In simple terms, it’s about adding solar panels, energy storage batteries, inverters, and the facilities you need in your daily life such as water, electricity, lights, air conditioners, and bathrooms to a container, transforming it into a smart home that you can “move in with just a suitcase”. It can not only be used for living, but also generate and store electricity by itself.

Moreover, this kind of house can be packed, hoisted and moved to different locations at any time. Today in the desert, tomorrow by the seaside. A crane and a truck can take your little home away.

Why is it so popular?

Let’s start with the scene.

Have you ever seen these scenes: temporary dormitories at construction sites? Outdoor camping site? Border guard post? Post-disaster resettlement housing? Teaching points in remote areas?

These places share one common feature: difficulty in accessing electricity, harsh environment and frequent relocation. Traditional houses are not suitable, and temporary prefabricated houses are too simple. Solar-powered container houses precisely address these pain points. It can not only resist the wind and keep warm, but also be self-sufficient.

Let’s talk about the trend.

Nowadays, everyone is talking about “carbon neutrality”, “green energy” and “clean buildings”. Solar energy is one of the cleanest energy sources. This house makes full use of the sun, allowing people to live without the need for an electric grid and reducing carbon emissions, which is in line with global trends.

There are also practical applications.

Solving the electricity problem is only part of the solar house. Another part is to solve the water supply problem. The container house can be equipped with a rainwater collection system, which can be used for irrigation and flushing toilets. By adding a water purification system inside, it can meet the needs of bathing and drinking.

What can it do? It’s not just about living!

Solar container houses can be freely customized according to their uses. Here are several common applications:

  • Outdoor campsite: Equipped with beds, lighting, hot water and solar air conditioning, providing maximum comfort.
  • Temporary construction by construction units: Ready to use upon installation, saving both time and money.
  • Border posts and unmanned stations: No fear of network or power outages. As soon as the sun rises, they will be fully restored.
  • Small clinics/teaching points: Medical care and education in remote areas can also achieve “basic guarantee + stable power supply”.
  • Outdoor commercial uses: For instance, pop-up coffee shops and cultural tourism ticket booths can all be set up with it.

What are the hardcore configurations of this solar container house from HighJoule?

Our container house integrates solar energy, energy storage and an intelligent control system. Here are several key words you should know:

  • Photovoltaic power generation: Rooftop solar panels generate electricity automatically every day, using electricity during the day and storing it at night.
  • Lithium battery energy storage system: It can be configured with 5kWh to 30kWh according to demand, meeting the basic electricity needs for a whole day.
  • Smart inverter: Converts direct current into alternating current, suitable for mobile phones, refrigerators, and induction cookers.
  • Remote monitoring: Check battery level and adjust mode remotely via the APP. It’s smart and worry-free.
  • Modular structure: Multiple containers can be spliced together to create dormitory areas, office areas, and meeting areas.

Then is it reliable? Is it safe? Can it withstand wind and rain?

Sure.

We have chosen industrial-grade standard containers, which are structurally solid, fireproof, waterproof and anti-corrosive. The roof and walls have been insulated, which can withstand an extremely cold temperature of minus 40 degrees Celsius and also adapt to the high-temperature desert environment.

The electrical system adopts a high-voltage isolation design, and all power distribution complies with international safety standards. Moreover, the solar panels are made of high-efficiency monocrystalline silicon and have a lifespan of up to 25 years. You can move in with peace of mind, ensuring both power supply and a comfortable life.

In the future, there will be more and more such houses

With the heating up of the outdoor economy and the promotion of new energy policies, the market for solar container houses is growing larger and larger. It has already been used in remote areas such as Xinjiang, Qinghai and Gansu in China, and overseas customers from Africa, Southeast Asia, the Middle East and other regions are also making large-scale purchases. Especially in areas with frequent network and power outages, solar container houses are a must-have.

To sum up

If you are looking for: mobile buildings that can be deployed quickly; It can generate electricity and operate by itself in remote areas. A modern housing solution with an attractive appearance and comfortable interior;

Then, the solar container house is your best choice.
