November 07, 2008 - KANSAS CITY, MO – What do portable storage and renewable energy have in common? More than one might think. Portable storage containers are made from industrial steel, and forward-thinking energy companies are tapping into these boxes to advance conservation efforts and clean energy solutions.
SkyBuilt Power is a prime example. The leading renewable energy systems integration company was granted a U.S. patent for its innovative, renewable energy Mobile Power Station. This is a revolutionary, plug-and-play, rapidly deployable, mobile hybrid solar and wind power system – and it uses a portable storage container at its base.
"Companies like SkyBuilt are recycling portable storage containers and helping conserve energy in a time of crisis. Because the power station is contained in a portable storage unit, this system can be transported by truck, train, ship or plane wherever it needs to go," said John Finnessy, CMP, Executive Director of the National Portable Storage Association, or NPSA, a nonprofit membership association dedicated to the advancement of the portable storage industry. "This is one of the most remarkable uses for mobile storage we've ever seen."
Because the Mobile Power Station is contained in a portable storage unit, the interior can be used for anything, including air conditioned office space, telecommunications, a medical center or emergency/command center – or just storage. This makes for a versatile, extremely low maintenance solution that is also durable.
"When portable storage containers were invented, no one ever saw the possibility of using them to generate solar, wind and hydroelectric energy," said NPSA Operations Manager Joel Rathbone. "It seems portable storage continues to find its way into new and useful applications. This time it's one that could potentially help power homes and businesses economically."
