Applications
As applications based on PWRstation Exorac technology are transportable and activation-ready, we see substantial growth opportunities for the company and for our System Integrators partners, in developing economies, where diesel gensets have historically played a dominant role.
A portable gasoline generator isn’t designed to supply constant power for extended periods. For a portable application that requires a steady power source, solar power is extremely cost-effective to operate as demonstrated here. ROI is often demonstrated after 3 to 4 years.
End-users will be NGOs, humanitarian agencies as UNHCR, emergency first responders; remote mining complexes, peace keeping installations, and off-grid villages and small towns.

Modern energy services are crucial to human well-being and to a country’s economic development; and yet globally over 1.3 billion people are without access to electricity and 2.6 billion people are without clean cooking facilities. More than 95% of these people are either in sub-Saharan African or developing Asia and 84% are in rural area /International Energy Agency
 Flat roofs and Ground mountedWith its transportability and ease of installation, EXOrac responds well to energy needs in urban environments, especially for flat roof and ground applications. Today’s typical flat roof solar installation is slated to last between 20 and 25 years, while most flat roof manufacturing warrantees only guarantee a lifespan of 10 to 15 years. Notwithstanding, flat roof tops often require access for basic maintenance. |  Rural ElectrificationAcross sub-Saharan Africa, 620 million people — 60 percent of the region’s population — lack access to electricity, according to the African Development Bank. As this infographic reveals, the current picture of electrical generation in the region includes substantial variation in grid-based capacity and a diverse mix of energy sources. As reported by Tom Jackson in Ensia recently, “The electrification of Africa is a process that is ongoing, with the results set to be impressive.” |  Humanitarian & EmergenciesPWRstations can operate as autonomous, completely self-sufficient power plants equipped with optional batteries, configured as hybrid gensets, backup or primary solutions for off-grid applications; and perfect solutions for powering today’s rapidly emerging nano and mini-grid configurations. |

While a traditional PV installation would not make sense in terms of a Return on Investment, the use of PWRstations is ideal in such a scenario. Because of its ease of transport and speed of deployment, developmental land can now be profitable and serve as part of a portfolio strategy for utilities or private solar leasing operations. |  Telecom towersToday’s solar off-grid market is under-exploited. Examples include millions of cell phone towers in the world powered by diesel generators; an expensive and polluting solution, often unreliable due to system breakdowns. A large number of operators are planning to complete in hybrid mode their systems with our pre-mounted, easy to maintain PV solutions. |

When done, you just unplug your system, fold it, and take it to the next temporary site! |  Roof top mountedWith its transportability and ease of installation, the PWRstation responds well to energy needs in urban environments, especially for flat roof applications.

 Scientific ExpeditionsTemporary (non permanent) site installations are typically not conducive to traditional photovoltaic options due to the high cost and complexity of installation. Conventional photovoltaic system are traditionally designed to be operated for 20 or 25 years in order to be considered profitable. The PWRstation revolutionizes this concept with its ease and speed of installation and teardown. |
