US Military Solar Generator

Does the Army need a solar PowerCube ®?

The U.S. Army is spending billions of dollars shifting toward solar energy. From military and disaster relief, to humanitarian efforts, residential, retail and off-grid cell towers for the developing world, the Ecos PowerCube ® can provide self-sustaining energy and clean water to remote, off-grid locations.

Are military generators more efficient?

Military generators have standard sizes, but battery power and energy ratings are more flexible. Figure 6 shows the impact of varying ESS energy capacity on fuel consumption in the improved AC microgrid. Since the batteries do not have 100 percent efficiency, there are losses in each charge and discharge cycle.

Does solar & Antora energy outperform emergency diesel generators?

The NREL evaluation of solar plus Antora Energy storage system meets the U.S. Military’s exacting standards, revealing that these systems significantly outperform emergency diesel generators in survivability probabilities.

How can the army support the energy demands of emerging technologies?

Supporting the energy demands of these emerging technologies requires a significant modernization and development of the U.S. Army’s microgrids. A microgrid is an independent energy system, which at a minimum consists of electrical generation and distribution assets.
