Container Too Big? Meet the Compact, Rugged SolarMD Outdoor Cabinet

Is your energy storage solution eating up space, budget, or time? You’re not alone. In many commercial and industrial settings, shipping containers have been the go-to for housing battery systems, but they’re often oversized, over-engineered, and under-utilised. That’s where the new Solar MD Outdoor Battery Cabinet comes in.

Compact, Yet Powerful

Forget bulky containers. Our standalone outdoor cabinet delivers storage capacities from 80 - 272kWh, designed for scale without the sprawl. Whether you're running 5 or 17 SS6143 battery modules, you’re getting a system that fits your space, your needs, and your environment.

 

Built for South Africa, and Beyond

Durability is key. This cabinet is IP65 rated, weatherproof, and engineered for tough outdoor conditions, from coastal humidity to dry Karoo heat. It’s also equipped with an integrated air conditioner, fire protection system, and thermal insulation, so your batteries stay cool, safe, and efficient.

 

Smarter Energy Storage

The system features an advanced Battery Management System (BMS) and is compatible with Solar MD’s mypower24 energy management platform. That means full visibility, remote monitoring, and optimised performance, all in real time.

 

Flexible, and Future-Proof

Customise your setup with four side-mounted plates to add:

  • Up to two 60kW MPPTs

  • A pre-configured 125kW PCS

  • A 250kW STS

  • Additional storage as your energy demands grow

 

The Right Fit for Commercial Installers

If you’re an EPC, installer, or energy consultant looking for a scalable alternative to containerised storage, one that’s quicker to deploy and easier to manage, the Solar MD Outdoor Cabinet is your new go-to.
