Go Solar

Mobile Solar Power is the leader in the field of transportable solar generators. These units are reliable, clean, quiet, and economical. Thanks to many recent advancements in the solar industry, solar generators can now do the work that diesel, gasoline, and propane generators used to do. Fossil-fuel generators can still be used in conjunction with solar generators, but now their role is reserved for periodic charging and maintenance.

OUR PRODUCTS

Mobile Solar Power manufactures these solar generators to fit your needs. They are easy to tow and set up, and they provide a durable, attractive solution to the remote-power problem.

From our smallest model to the industrial/construction strength of our larger models, all of our generators supply pure sine-wave current that is more consistent than that of your utility. On top of this, they don’t run out of gas, require oil changes or make any noise!

And since the solar generators are not attached to the ground, they require no permits or inspections — nor will it increase your property taxes.

Whether you’re sheering sheep, building a house or powering a remote cabin, you don’t have to settle for a noisy, stinky generator that relies on increasingly expensive power sources. We have years of experience working with these and a background and passion for alternative sources of energy. Contact us now and let us find a mobile solar generator that will suit your needs and budget.

Current Events

In the summer of 2007, Mobile Solar Power was awarded a bid from California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo to build three solar generators. The university’s plan was to use these generators to power high frequency radar installations along the Central Coast near the Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant.

The radar installations, which are three of several dozen stretching from the Mexican border to Alaska, are part of a larger project called the Coastal Ocean Currents Monitoring Program (COCMP). The program, which is a conglomerate of several organizations including the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Scripps institute of Oceanography, University of California, and the California State University system, condenses ocean current data for easy access and use by other organizations, businesses, and individuals.

According to the COCMP website (www.cocmp.org), the primary function of the organization is to provide information to water quality monitoring agencies. However, the data obtained from the radar sites has several other very important benefits. It helps researchers look at the impact of global warming on ocean currents, prepare for potential oil spills by tracking current flows, and aid the US Coast Guard and maritime shipping vessels by mapping out surface currents.

Getting power to remote locations on the coast is not always easy, which is why Cal Poly, and more recently the University of California at San Diego, made the decision to use solar generators to power their equipment. By storing excess power in the battery bank during sunny days, the four MS-300 Series solar generators positioned along the California coast can provide round-the-clock, reliable power to the radar sites. In addition, the weatherproof interior of the cargo trailers makes a perfect place to keep the sensitive equipment needed to monitor the currents and upload the data from a remote location.
