Abstract

This proposal sets forth the design, development, and construction of a field-deployable high-power photovoltaic (PV) system to replace diesel generators. The system will consist of a foldable PV panel array, a power management system, power storage unit, and multiple outputs for various charging applications. The system will be designed such that it can fit inside a standard ISU 90 container for ease of transport and deployment in the field. The proposed solution will be able to output 33 kW of power in full sunlight and be able to store 12 hours of backup power in a 400 kWh energy storage unit. Optivolt Labs will utilize experience developing commercial deployable PV concepts and strategies in order to develop the high power deployable PV system proposed here.
