Off grid solar power trailers have seen an uptick in use in recent years. Trailers offer the ability to transport a large amount of battery capacity to any location accessible to the trailer. Ozark Mountain Offgrid specializes in the design and buildout of these trailers for many uses. OMO Solar has done the design, bid, and construction of trailers for Government agencies, disaster relief agencies, agriculture and farming operations, construction companies, food concessions, and many other businesses that require a mobile source of reliable power to run their equipment.
Another recent trend is for individuals building off-grid homes to purchase a trailer to supply power for their construction and temporary living quarters. While some off grid homeowners do eventually move equipment to a more permanent interior location, others choose to keep their power system mobile, saving space and giving them the versatility to maintain power on the go.
Some owners choose to do their customized interiors making them into sufficient power sources with some of the conveniences of home. Whatever your need, off grid trailers are a game changer. These portable solar-powered systems give you portable, clean, reliable power wherever they can be towed.
What is an Off Grid Solar Trailer?
Off-grid trailers are mobile units that generate and store solar energy. They have solar panels, inverters, and battery banks that power most applications. Their mobility makes them perfect for accessible off-grid locations, and they are particularly well suited for disaster response and preparedness when the grid is no longer available or operating.
Off Grid Solar Trailer Components
-
Solar Panels: Collect sunlight and convert it into power.
-
Battery Bank: Store energy for overcast days or nighttime.
-
Inverter: Convert stored DC power into AC power for appliances.
These work together to give you power anywhere.

Cost Savings
While the upfront cost of a solar trailer may seem high, it’s cost-effective in the long run. By reducing fuel and maintenance costs you’ll save big and have uninterrupted power.
