Containerised Energy Systems

Containerised storage and power, from 100 kW to multi-megawatt.

A 6 m or 12 m container holding the battery storage, power conversion, protection, fire suppression and cooling for a commercial or industrial site, built and tested off-site. Add a UPS room for loads that cannot see a flicker, or stack containers for utility-scale storage.

Use cases

Municipal and industrial sites that need uninterrupted power for control rooms, data and pumping; factories shifting an expensive evening peak into storage; solar plants that need to store midday surplus; mines and farms replacing diesel. One container handles a few hundred kilowatt-hours; a row of them handles megawatt-hours.

Reference build

The Mogale City system is a 6 m Grade A container with a 110 kW three-phase hybrid inverter, 168 kWh of stackable LFP storage, a commercial energy gateway rated to 600 kW, a separate room with a 100 kVA Huawei UPS on lithium batteries, two air conditioners, aerosol fire suppression and remote monitoring. It arrived complete and was placed by crane.

FAQ

Common questions

What is a containerised energy system?

A complete storage and power system built into a shipping container in LinkSolar's workshop, delivered tested, placed by crane and connected to the site in days.

When should a project use a containerised system?

When the storage is larger than a cabinet can hold, when the site needs a controlled environment for the batteries, or when the system may need to move or grow. Most sites above about 100 kWh are better served by a container than by wall-mounted units.

Can it be expanded later?

Yes. The gateway and the modular batteries are sized for the planned growth, so storage can be added inside the container or a second container can be placed alongside.

Not sure whether you need trading, wheeling, solar or BESS?

Start with your bill. LinkSolar will help identify the right route before you commit to a solution.
