OFF-GRID POWER
“We provide you POWER. Wherever. Whenever.”
VDS unique range of portable power systems provides a wide range of solutions to fit any remote power need.
POWER HUT™
Our rugged and proven POWER HUT™’s design works in any climate, with all configurations based on the same concept; Power stored in a configurable battery bank, charged by solar energy and/or wind, with a Single- or Dual generator backup.
Depending on the installation, POWER HUT™ might be utilized as either the primary or secondary power source, and will work in most remote instrallation structure/ building, technical installation in any climate condition.
Multiple platforms available, for a variation of environment and climate condition, ie.:
- Container
- Trailers
- Alu-boxes / over-sized cabinets
- Others
Flexible configurations for most operational scenarios:
- Multi-voltage solution from 12 to 230V, in AC and DC
- RMC – Remote Monitoring & Control software package – for complete control of the Power Hut’s PSU, with environmental monitoring as an option
