Integrated manufacturing of REciclable multi-material COmposites for the TRANSport sector
Containerized power generation
A transportation vehicle includes one or more spaces to accept one or more moveable shipping containers. Certain of the shipping containers has attached to one or more exterior surfaces one or more photovoltaic panels that together occupy substantially all of the corresponding exterior surface and wherein none of the one more photovoltaic panels extends beyond an outer boundary of the corresponding exterior surface. Each shipping container with a photovoltaic panel includes a first container electrical connector to provide electrical energy generated by the one or more photovoltaic panels attached to the shipping container. An electrical grid includes one or more first grid connectors, where each first grid connector is adapted to attach to a first container electrical connector. One or more energy storage units is connected to the electrical grid to store energy generated by the shipping containers that has a photovoltaic panel.
