Clean Alternative to Diesel Generators — Industrial Strength, Portable Solar Power That Works Anywhere
For decades, diesel generators have been the default solution for powering remote job sites, farms, and operations beyond the reach of the electric grid. They get the job done — but at a cost.
Between rising fuel prices, constant maintenance, noise, and harmful emissions, diesel can quickly become a burden rather than a backup. Fortunately, there’s now a cleaner, quieter, less expensive, and more reliable alternative.
Meet PairPHNXX — a portable solar microgrid that delivers industrial-strength power without the fuel, noise, or hassle.
The Power of the Sun — Without the Setup
Most solar systems require weeks of planning, trenching, and installation. PairPHNXX changes that.
Delivered in a standard 20-foot ISO container, the solar panels unfold on-site and can be generating clean power within a single day. Very fast deployment time (3 to 4 hours). No construction. No permits. No waiting.
Product Specifications
Depending on the model selected, PairPHNXX can deliver up to:
- Up to 70 kW of solar power
- Up to 572.4 kWh
636kWh of battery storage (Lithium-Iron-Phosphate chemistry) - Up to 60 kW of continuous output
- 120/208 or 277/480 VAC 3-phase power or 120/240 VAC single-phase power
- Noise level: ≤ 60 dB
- Operating temperature: –20°F to 120°F (–25°C to 45°C)
- Deployed and operational within one day — no assembly required
This is industrial-strength solar power in a box — a clean, portable alternative to diesel generators.
Cost Savings Compared to Diesel
A PairPHNXX system can replace the need for constant diesel generator operation, providing dramatic savings in both fuel and maintenance costs. Based on conservative assumptions for geographic areas with average sunlight:
- Annual solar generation: up to 70.2 kW × 4–6 peak sun hours × 365 days = roughly 102,000–154,000 kWh per year
This equates to these typical costs for equivalent-sized diesel generators:
- Fuel consumption: 1 to 2 gallons/hour (typical for 20 kW generators at ¾ load)
- Diesel price: $3.75 to $4.25 per gallon
- 8,500–17,500 gallons of diesel annually, saving an estimated $35,000–$70,000 per year in fuel costs alone — and even more when factoring in generator maintenance, refueling labor, and downtime.
At current diesel prices and including all costs, these savings can exceed $100,000 annually in high-sun locations. Every hour the PairPHNXX runs on sunlight instead of fuel, it pays for itself.
Agriculture: Power for Irrigation, Refrigeration, and Essential Processing
For farmers and ranchers, dependable power can make or break a season. PairPHNXX provides off-grid electricity for irrigation pumps, water systems, poultry ventilation systems, dairy milking equipment, cold storage, and other essential processing equipment — without waiting for the utility company.
It’s quiet, fuel-free, and ready to go wherever you are. Keep your operations running efficiently and sustainably, even miles from the nearest power line.
Construction: Clean Energy for Tools, Lighting, and Equipment in Remote Locations
Construction projects often start before the grid arrives. With PairPHNXX, your crew can start work without utility power and continue working without interruption.
Each unit provides plug-and-play power for job trailers, lighting, HVAC, compressors, and heavy tools — no generator, no fuel deliveries, and no downtime. Just clean, reliable power that keeps your project on schedule and your air clean.
And when the job is done, simply pack it up and move it to the next job site — fast, simple, and ready to power your next project. The gift that keeps on giving.
Emergency Response: Reliable Power When It Matters Most
When disaster strikes, power is the first need and often the hardest to restore. PairPHNXX can be deployed within hours to provide renewable electricity for first responders, communication systems, medical tents, and relief centers.
Compact and transportable, it’s the dependable energy source that keeps life-saving operations running — without the noise, fumes, or refueling demands of diesel generators.
Remote Communities: Sustainable Energy for Homes and Essential Services
For remote or off-grid communities, PairPHNXX delivers the power to live, work, and grow sustainably.
It can energize homes, schools, community centers, and healthcare facilities with clean, consistent solar power — eliminating the need for diesel fuel or costly grid extensions.
Indigenous and Rural Partnerships: Powering Self-Reliance and Energy Sovereignty
Across Indigenous Nations and other rural regions, access to reliable energy is vital for resilience, safety, and economic growth. PairPHNXX supports these communities with portable, renewable energy systems that honor local priorities and self-determination.
Recognizing the potential of PairPHNXX to power community facilities, essential services, and homes and schools, Paired Power has applied to the Alliance for Tribal Clean Energy’s Preferred Provider Program (PPP). This application reflects our commitment and desire to support equitable clean energy access with respect for cultural values and environmental stewardship.
Each deployment is designed to meet community-led goals, creating energy independence without sacrificing heritage, the environment, or the land itself.
Mining: Energy Solutions for Heavy Machinery and Non-Stop Operations
Mining sites demand high, continuous power. PairPHNXX offers scalable, round-the-clock electricity to run camps, drills, lighting, and communications equipment — even in extreme environments.
Built for durability and easy transport, it’s the perfect energy solution for operations that can’t afford a single moment of downtime.
The Future of Off-Grid Power and Grid Independence
Diesel generators have had their day. Invented in 1890, they have powered off-grid applications for 135 years. But the future of off-grid energy has now arrived, and it is quiet, sustainable, and maintenance-free.
With PairPHNXX, you can generate, store, and use clean electricity anywhere — no grid required.
No generator needed. Just industrial-strength, portable solar power, anywhere you need it.
