When you do a V-2, sink those HVAC units and power boxes into the wall so that it doesn't go outside the ISO-20' dimensions. It makes it much more ship-able (making the non-door end a hook-lift gets you even further for deployability).

@@Real_Tim_S I hear you and we'll consider that, but there was no room to sink those disconnects in. We would have run out of space and had some code violations if we did it. As to the HVAC I will look into that. I'm just not sure. We had absolutely no problems shipping it. We ship it as a dedicated load on a 40-ft trailer so more than enough room.

If you had a slight pitch white metal roof fitted to mate with the top container corner blocks about 12 inches above the container it would stop the sun from hitting the top of the container for less heat inside. That air gap also will move and cool the top of the container with any breeze. As a bonus the pitched metal roof with a gutter could be used for rain catchment for emergency water source.
Really nice! Just giving some ideas: -I would have gone with Pytes(server rack as the big setup you did in a video) or Homegrid stacked for the batteries for that scale -I would have added a small inverter eg Eg4 3KW inverter to power the container(just lights and receptacles) with a 5KW battery and add solar panels on the roof. - Add a fire extinguisher near the entrance -I would have added the Engineer775 logo to the container

Wow, so pretty, the grown up version of the three phase container-based system I'm building. My original thought was to use two salvaged Tesla model S batteries (200KWh) and build it as a 300+ V system with a Sol-Ark three phase inverter, but I'm going to do it with three EG4 18K PVs and wallmount batteries. My project is going to be slow because it's just me building it.
ENGINEER 775 & TEAM, GREAT JOB 👍 👍 🎉 ON THAT MASSIVE CONTAINER ESS! I hope the concrete pad is elevated high enough to eliminate the crazy weather of flood water 💦 Infiltration! WE HOPE YOU’RE GOING TO SHARE THE COMMISSIONING AT THE UNDISCLOSED SIGHT LOCATION!
I had this idea this year now imagine a separate container to house a set of panels that retract in case of bad weather or fild down against the side to protect from wind gust
Daaammmmn did that truck have Any pressure left on his front axle?? I'm honestly surprised it didn't tip over backwards on that hill. who in their right mind loads a truck like that???
WHY would you use low voltage.I have a container with 25 klw inverter and 140 klw battery using HIGH VOLTAGE.Look at the crazy massive wiring.The wiring would of been a lot less in mass going high voltage.This really confounds me.But great electrical work as always
High-voltage definitely the way to go, however there are a few issues with it on a consumer or residential level currently. There just simply isn't any user-friendly high-voltage battery stacks + inverter combos. It's basically a right-to-repair issue. This customer is in rural oklahoma, I doubt there is anyone in the entire state that would be able to service a high-voltage bms that has been frankensteined into a massive three-phase inverter. The solark 15k with 48v battery stacks can be installed, serviced, and replaced easily by most electricians and certainly any solar install company. High-voltage stuff will eventually work itself fully into the residential market, there just isnt anything reliable and "productized" as thoroughly as the solark 15k and all these various 48v battery options.
@@drewgoodman7932 there is many stackable high voltage 51 volt rack batteries and Inverters.

What an amazing idea. It is a win win. You get to do work at home and a lot of people could park this thing outside their home or ranch and not need to worry about having local expertise.
Impressive beast, look forward to seeing the follow-up. That’s a ton of copper! Make sure the locks work. What’s the maximum solar input this can take? And what will this project have? Ground-mount?
I'm looking for Will in the comments. We've watched to him for years. But, we've watched you as well. You guys are top-notch! That's a beauty! As always, God bless.
Something you might want to consider, is a fire suppression system, that is a whole lot of Lithium batteries, if the system fails for ANY reason, there needs to be some type of backup system in case of battery overheating, which can cause batteries to burst and ignite
For your next build like this, consider the new pytse high voltage battery set up and high voltage solark inverters, would be a massive a reduction in battery cable management
Gardner 5 Gal. Sta-Kool Plus Pro White Roof Coating: 4 generous applications to the roof will reduce the thermal transfer by 98%. All of my containers internal thermal load remains at ambient air temperature even at 105*F outside temps in full sun. Simple, effective, inexpensive and proven.
6 solarks x $6k, 245 kwh x $350/kwh, built out container $20k, electrical $20k: prob around $165k just for the unit, then prob add in $20k engineering and $20k shipping and installation. Prob pretty close to $200k all in. Less than $1000/kwh, so not bad. 75 kw solar is prob $150k, so $350k for some huge house to go off grid. Not unreasonable if you have the money.
I seem to recall Engineer775 saying something in a fairly recent video about a potential change coming to the electrical code regarding large battery banks inside the home or attached structures.
@@michiganengineer8621 ah gotcha. I agree with the whole notion of putting everything outside anyway. Pre-wire everything into a big box and crane it into place, that is what the industry needs to take off.
I know you work exclusively with Sol-Ark (or nearly) but I was wondering what your thoughts are on the new "Boss" items from EG4? It looks like that system eliminates most of the external switches and breakers for up to a 200A service as well as a LOT of the AC wiring.
Bigger cells would be better. All the BMS units and relays just add extra vampire loads. My parents have a bunch of Fortress eFlex, and they add up to several kwh every day. I'm not sure how discover compares, but all those NC contactors/relays take juice to keep open. As do the BMS units. I'd be interested to know what the idle power consumption of this thing is.
Those things NEED a roof! Grantee leaks in a few years regardless of what seal it with. Doesn’t have to be any more than a slant. It might even shade it some.
@engieer775 Great, so you are going to base your clients future on your “one of” good luck experience? I got a yard full of these things, different makes and lengths and they all leaked. The sides looked great but the low points and trapped valleys captured salt spray or bird poop while in use. Sand blasting helps but it’s not going to get into the crevices where the real problem lies. Clean it off, throw on your favorite roofing sealer and put a protective roof over it. Think of the container’s top as a secondary barrier. There’s a reason why they sell used current form factor containers.
systems like this will be common in the near-future. I am sure this will all turn to high-voltage when the equipment becomes more user-friendly and available, but this 48v system is a good blueprint for things to come. It likely cost this customer roughly $450K to go off-grid like this, it has a 600-amp service so its prob a mansion style luxury home costing $10m+ to build, so a 5% bump in cost to be completely grid-independent. This will become increasingly common.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ I would love to see something like that with solar array on top and just drop and Plug n Play!! But I will have to stay with my 800 watt array - with 5 Kw storage and 1000 watt out system for now - LOL
Too dangerous. Too enclosed if anything goes South. There is no way you would ever catch me throwing that 600 amp switch in such an enclosed, tight area. Other than that, it looks great, but not designed if things go South.
Not trying to be a jerk but you obviously haven’t done much work in the back room of a retail space. Every inch is used up and you have to pack all gear and controls into a tight space with code minimums for clearance.
@markat9576 no offense taken. High current, especially DC, is very dangerous. Every time you throw one of those disconnects, you take a chance that the DC arc will not be extinguished, and there will be a fire. That's why they always have a second guy ready to pull off the first guy who is throwing the disconnect. They wear protective clothing, the disconnect is properly rated, but the risk is still there.
Too bad you chose low cost, short lived high frequency, transformerless inverter tech for this project. You would have been far Better off using low frequency transformer based inverters.
