Remote communities need a reliable power, including backup energy sources that can perform under pressure. AA Solar is proud to lead the way with integrated commercial solar battery storage solutions designed to strengthen resilience, support remote communities, safeguard critical infrastructure, and enable commercial and agribusiness operations.
Containerised Battery Systems for Every Situation
Our containerised battery banks are custom-built to adapt to diverse applications, offering flexible sizing and scalable capacities. A recent project included:
- 10ft units: 50kW – 300kWh
- 20ft units: 50kW – 600kWh
Each unit integrates seamlessly with existing Energy Management Systems (EMS), creating a unified platform for monitoring and control.

Built for Resilience and Rapid Deployment
Housed inside standard shipping containers, these modular systems are engineered for durability and safety:
- IP65 protection and C4 corrosion resistance for tough environments
- Lithium iron phosphate cells with active temperature control
- Intelligent BMS for enhanced safety, performance, and extended lifespan
- Pre-tested, modular design, ensuring simplified on-site wiring and fast deployment
From emergency response to commercial projects, events, or remote power supply, these containerised energy storage systems deliver resilience when it matters most.

Real-World Impact: Waimamaku Resilience Programme
This technology is being used as part of the Waimamaku Resilience Programme. AA Solar is installing:
- Commercial solar panels design to deliver 73.92kW of energy
- A containerised 700kWh backup battery system
This setup provides seven days of energy backup (even without solar input) to ensure uninterrupted power for critical community services. The project highlights just how effective large-scale, containerised energy storage can be in strengthening community resilience and energy independence.
Commercial Battery Banks with Broad Applications
AA Solar’s integrated systems offer new opportunities for:
- Community resilience programmes
- Commercial and industrial solar installations
- Agribusiness operations in remote locations
- Event and temporary power projects
With rapid deployment, high performance, and proven safety, containerised battery banks quickly become the go-to solution for organisations looking to secure reliable energy storage.

Frequently Asked Questions
If you want to understand how containerised energy storages work, check out the details below!
What is containerised energy storage and how does it relate to commercial solar panels?
Containerised energy storage is a modular system housed in a shipping container that stores electrical energy, often sourced from commercial solar panels or other renewable energy systems. It allows businesses to store excess solar energy generated during the day and use it when demand is high or when solar production is low, optimising energy use and ensuring reliability for commercial and industrial solar installations.
How can containerised energy storage benefit off-grid commercial and industrial solar installations?
For off-grid installations, containerised energy storage provides a reliable and scalable power source that stores renewable energy for continuous use, reducing or eliminating reliance on diesel generators or unstable grid connections. This is crucial for remote locations and industries that require uninterrupted power.
Why is containerised energy storage important for community resiliency projects?
These systems support community resiliency by ensuring a stable local energy supply in emergencies or during grid disruptions. They can power critical infrastructure and community facilities using stored energy from the grid or from commercial solar installations, enhancing energy independence and emergency preparedness.
Can containerised energy storage be scaled according to energy needs?
Yes, containerised systems are highly modular and scalable. Multiple containers can be deployed together to meet specific energy storage needs for commercial or industrial sites, for small businesses to large solar farms, allowing tailored solutions that grow with demand.
