In an era where sustainable energy is increasingly vital, the 45ft Solar Energy Container, developed by Creacar, emerges as a mobile powerhouse designed to deliver renewable power wherever it’s needed. This innovative solution combines transportable convenience with environmental efficiency, offering a versatile option for remote locations, events, and industries seeking green energy alternatives.
A mobile energy source in a standard container
Creacar’s Solar Energy Container introduces power to any location, housed within a standard-sized 45-foot container for global mobility. Equipped with hydraulic legs, the container can be easily elevated from trailers without external aids. Assembly is straightforward; one person can set up the system in under 30 minutes. The solar panels automatically rise and adjust to collect the sun’s energy efficiently, thanks to an integrated tracking system.
Robust design and efficient energy production
Constructed to be strong, the container withstands high winds, automatically protecting its solar array when necessary. The system features a 170-square-meter solar panel array capable of generating up to 37.44 kW of peak power. Smart tracking enhances efficiency by 45% compared to static systems, maximizing energy production throughout the day.
Energy is stored in an onboard battery pack with a capacity of up to 200 kWh, ensuring a consistent power supply even when sunlight is not available. The container offers flexible output configurations, supporting both single-phase and three-phase outputs with a standard output of 55 kW, which is expandable based on specific needs. When it gets dark, the integrated battery and generator seamlessly continue to provide power, ensuring uninterrupted energy availability.

Creacar: Empowering sustainable change
Creacar, a company known for its innovative mobile energy solutions, emphasizes the importance of addressing climate challenges through renewable energy. “Creative constructions empowering change for a sustainable future,” they state, highlighting their commitment to advancing green technologies.
The company takes pride in integrating cutting-edge features into their solar solutions. “Our solar solutions blend expertise from our legacy products. Using a rotating hydraulic mast, the panels track the sun, boosting efficiency by 45% compared to fixed setups. Ideal for locations lacking eco-friendly options, they’re also eye-catching at events,” Creacar explains.
A response to global energy needs
In today’s climate-challenged world, the transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources is imperative. Public institutions, events, and industries are increasingly seeking sustainable alternatives. Creacar acknowledges this shift, stating, “In our climate-challenged world, public institutions, events, and industries must lead the way. Shifting from fossil fuels to renewable energy is vital. High fuel costs make green energy not just ecological but economically smart.”
Creacar’s Solar Energy Container is designed to address remote or temporary energy needs by offering a practical, fast-deploy solution. “To tackle remote or temporary needs, our solar trailer and container step in. They deploy solar setups fast, delivering green energy production, storage, and distribution wherever it’s needed,” the company adds.
