					<description><![CDATA[In reply to &lt;a href=&quot;https://nativesolar.com/installing-solar-panels-on-a-shipping-container-structure/#comment-54513&quot;&gt;S.E&lt;/a&gt;.

Typically the cost of bringing power to undeveloped land will have a hefty price tag. This depends on the distance to the next closest utility line… for a truly off-grid situation, bringing utility power could cost more than solar and inverter plus electrical infrastructure to utilize the production… in either case, the cost of solar PV and or battery should be looked at compared to the initial cost of installing utility plus the long term cost of paying the utilities rate per kWh. The shipping container serves as a ground mount allowing one to face the PV modules in the optimal direction, and interchanges with costs of construction and materials. 

How many kWh’s per day would you need? You could scale your PV solution to produce the energy you need and not have battery to store energy, charging only during sunlight / production hours. This could be the most cost effective solution, if I am following your use case correctly. 

Hope this helps. -NATiVE Solar]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I was thinking about doing the same with a small container used as a shed and to store tools, off-grid location, but the cost compared to a small gas generator - even the most expensive Honda, makes no sense for my random needs (also higher latitude than Texas here!)
The electric bike rental looks good, people would come mostly when the weather is sunny anyway... I suppose if you need reasonable daily/permanent power, at some point the price of fuel, or larger batteries needed to provide between weekly genetator charges, would be higher than the cost of installing panels and invertor....
Any new installation, any other use cases where the container with solar panels would make sense?]]></description>
