Canberra based company ECLIPS: Inventive Engineering has recently launched its Container Roll Out Solar System (CROSS), which is a factory assembled relocatable solar array. CROSS is freighted in standard 20ft and 40ft shipping containers, and can be rolled out using a forklift and setup onsite within minutes of being delivered. ECLIPS is able to export to the world.
It is suitable for small sites such as water bore pumps through to utility scale projects by large electricity providers. In a remote location, it is costly to keep a generator going due to the necessary regular replenishment of diesel. The system is more independent can be just solar PV or hybrid.
One of ECLIPS’ initial goals in developing the CROSS was to improve self-sufficiency of forward operating bases of deployed Defence Forces. The reduced fuel replenishment cycle means less convoys on the road, reducing the risk of vehicle accidents and exposure to improvised explosive devices or unplanned engagement with enemy forces.
CROSS has also appealed to a range of users from mining clients working in remote locations, to humanitarian aid agencies providing medical facilities in international locations, and even for energy suppliers requiring additional power generation at fringe of grid, or to replace infrastructure after natural disasters.
