Business Plan
Mobile Clean Power—Anywhere, On Demand
A solar-first, trailer-based power system with large 48V storage, generator backup, and smart monitoring.
Problem & Opportunity
The Pain with Diesel Generators
- • Excessive noise pollution in urban and event settings
- • High emissions and environmental impact
- • Rising fuel costs and logistics complexity
- • Maintenance requirements and reliability issues
- • Limited scalability and deployment flexibility
Growing Demand for Clean Mobile Power
- • Events and festivals seeking sustainable solutions
- • Food truck industry embracing clean energy
- • Emergency response requiring reliable backup power
- • Film production needing quiet, mobile power
- • Construction sites requiring flexible power solutions
Solution Overview
The Power Trailer is a mobile, self-contained energy system that delivers reliable, renewable electricity anywhere it's needed. Built around a 48V LiFePO₄ battery bank and powered by dual Xpanse solar awnings plus high-efficiency rooftop panels, the trailer eliminates the need for noisy, polluting generators.
What It Powers
- • EV charging stations
- • Food trucks and mobile kitchens
- • Event equipment and sound systems
- • Emergency response equipment
- • Construction tools and lighting
Why It's Different
- • Dual solar awnings for maximum coverage
- • Large 40+ kWh storage capacity
- • Professional Victron power electronics
- • Modular, expandable design
- • Generator backup for extended autonomy

Markets & Use Cases
Business Model
Pilot-First, Then Made-to-Order
We only need investment for the pilot trailer. After that, each customer's payment funds the build of their unit—keeping inventory low and cash efficient while validating demand.
Cash Flow Cycle
Roadmap
Phase 1: Pilot Build
Complete first trailer with full solar and battery system
Phase 2: Field Demos
Case studies and demonstrations with early customers
Phase 3: Made-to-Order Queue
Customer deposits fund production of subsequent units
Phase 4: Small-Batch Production
Optimized manufacturing process for 2-3 units per month
Phase 5: SaaS Add-ons
Optional monitoring and fleet management services
Competitive Advantage
vs. Diesel Generators
- • Quiet, emission-free operation
- • No fuel costs or logistics
- • Lower maintenance requirements
- • Better for urban and event settings
vs. Fixed Solar
- • Mobile and deployable anywhere
- • Faster setup than permanent installs
- • Modular and scalable design
- • No permitting or installation delays
Risks & Mitigations
Supply Chain Risks
Component availability and pricing volatility
Mitigation: Multi-vendor sourcing, component alternatives, staged procurement
Regulatory Risks
DOT, UL, and NEC compliance requirements
Mitigation: Early compliance planning, professional engineering review
Financing Risks
High upfront costs for pilot and early production
Mitigation: Staged CAPEX, customer deposits, strategic partnerships
Unit Economics
| Item | Cost | Price | Margin |
|---|---|---|---|
| Components (COGS) | $67,718 | - | - |
| Labor & Overhead | $15,000 | - | - |
| Total COGS | $82,718 | - | - |
| Customer Price | - | $99,999 | 17.3% |
Note: Made-to-order deposits cover COGS to maintain positive working capital post-pilot.
Transparent Note: Early-stage, high-risk project. Timelines and specs may evolve as we validate and iterate on the pilot.
