We designed and built a 600 watt solar -array- in a 3S2P configuration for the roof, that charges the 800 Ah 12 volt battery bank, the container is wired with 110 volt AC outlets inside and out, that also runs the -Starlink mini- for WIFI.

The interior can be reconfigured to an -ham radio shack- for emergency operations.

The interior is usually kept in -bed mode-, equiped with a microwave oven, toaster, hot plate, refrigerator, TV and a removable A/C unit.
