REC SolarBox – hybrid solar solution from REC
The REC SolarBox is a portable power station – a hybrid solution that uses REC solar
panels to produce the bulk of needed electricity and includes a diesel generator for
backup purposes. The all-in-one solution is designed for mobility, rapid deployment and
durable operation. Available in 20-50 kW model sizes, the modular design of the REC
SolarBox makes it multi-functional in itself. And packed into a standard ISO 20-foot
shipping container, it can be easily transported worldwide.
A reliable power source for a multitude of applications
- Supplemental power to rural and island systems
- Off-grid power in emergency disaster relief efforts
- Supplemental power to industrial, commercial and government customers
- Freestanding, off-grid power plants in developing countries, rural areas and islands
What‘s in the box?Key elements:
- Solar panels to produce

The ideal off-grid solar power plant
The 20-foot containers of the REC SolarBox have all electrical components, cables and
diesel generator set pre-installed – all from leading suppliers. When the container is
delivered to the site as either a temporary or permanent amenity, workers can install
an REC SolarBox unit in less than two days without any heavy construction equipment.
Once unpacked and installed, space that was previously occupied by the solar panels
and mounting structures is freed up for use as a mobile office and/or storage.
Minimum requirements:
Required to deploy an REC
SolarBax are only:
- 250 m2
of available space
(maximum 625 m2
)
- Truck access for a 20-foot
container

REC SolarBox technical specifications
REC SolarBox in operation: Bantayan Island, Philippines
In collaboration with the Red Cross, an REC SolarBox 20 was installed in the Sungko
Barangay on Bantayan Island in the Philippines, which had been severely affected by
Hurricane Haiyan in November 2013.
The REC SolarBox will supply reliable electricity to the island and to the newly installed
satellite communications system. This enables connectivity to the internet and video
communications, making it possible to use remote diagnosis medical equipment
(communicate with doctors offshore) among other possibilities.
