The Rise of Solar-Powered Shipping Containers

There are many ways to skin a cat, and even more ways to add solar power to a shipping container. To be fair, I cheated a bit. Well, not really cheated, but I just went with a retail solar generator system instead of DIYing that part myself from à la carte components.
With 1,200W of theoretical power (and probably more like 900W of solid real-world Florida solar energy), that would be a decent flow rate. The panels I used are Pecron's folding panels, which aren't really meant for this type of long-term permanent installation.
I used pressure-treated 2x4s to build a pair of mounts for the solar panels, each of which would hold three 200W panels. With 1,200W of theoretical power (and probably more like 900W of solid real-world Florida solar energy), that would be a decent flow rate.
To save a bit of money instead, you can source your own solar panels, solar charge converter, batteries, inverter, and wiring, then make it all play together. For me and my limited time, an offer from Pecron for a solution that would do all of that for me sounded perfect, so I went with Pecron's system.

A solar container is an innovative solution designed to harness solar energy effectively. It typically consists of a shipping container outfitted with solar panels.
Mount high-efficiency solar panels on the container roof or adjacent racks and charge a battery bank to supply power. For example, BoxPower''s 20-foot SolarContainer can hold 4–60 kW of
