SOLAR TRAILERS - ST2115 Panasonic

This image features a robust mobile solar power trailer, designed for versatile and temporary energy solutions. The trailer is equipped with multiple large solar panels that are customisable and can be adjustable or foldable, maximizing sun exposure for efficient power generation. Its sturdy construction and portable design make it ideal for various applications in Australia, including powering remote communication hardware, radio towers, construction sites, events, emergency response, or off-grid living. Sunpower Solar Panels, Victron Hardware and ELMOFO Industrial Lithium Battery Systems. Solar trailers from Solar Power Australia provide a clean, sustainable, and easily deployable power source wherever it's needed, without reliance on grid connections.

Solar Power Australia is proud to have been a part of the “Panasonic Eclipse Live by Solar Power” event held at Port Douglas in November 2012.

Panasonic Japan commissioned Solar Power Australia to design and construct a portable solar power system to charge the Lithium battery packs to run all the camera and computer equipment required to film the total eclipse of the sun in Cairns and Port Doulas in QLD Australia. The equipment was also to be used to broadcast the live footage of the eclipse to hundreds of thousands of viewers around the globe.

Through the success of this project, Panasonic (powered by SPA) were able to capture some of the best footage of this spectacular event which was broadcast nationally on Australia’s Channels 7 and 9, as well as globally via the internet.

The most practical method to make a relatively large solar power system portable is to build it on a trailer. As the project required a considerable amount of energy production, even using the high-efficiency Panasonic 235W HIT solar modules, the necessary number of modules would require a very large trailer. As such, we designed a system where the electronic components were housed in the payload area of a box trailer and the solar modules were attached to the side of the trailer and deployed on the ground.
