Power Trailer Concept

About This Project

The Power Trailer Project is a mobile, self-contained energy system designed to deliver reliable, renewable electricity anywhere it's needed. Built around a 48V LiFePO₄ battery bank and powered by solar through Xpanse solar awnings and high-efficiency rooftop panels, the trailer is engineered for both off-grid independence and heavy-duty applications like EV charging, emergency response, and field operations. At its core, the project demonstrates how modern solar, storage, and smart power electronics can replace traditional gas generators with a cleaner, quieter, and more flexible solution. The system integrates high-capacity batteries, hybrid inverter-chargers, solar MPPTs, and intelligent monitoring for a streamlined, professional-grade energy hub. Whether for disaster relief, mobile businesses, recreational use, or future-focused infrastructure, the Power Trailer represents the next step toward practical, mobile clean energy.
