Come and see us at Meteorological Technology World Expo 2017

This is our first time at Meteorological Technology World Expo and here we will be showing our new off-grid power system, the PowerBox™. Designed for operating low power AC or DC equipment, everything you need to provide a remote power source is neatly fitted into a single, pallet-sized box. It is easy to transport and quick to deploy – in less than an hour, you can set up a complete solar-wind hybrid power supply, with the...
