Schneider Electric’s portable OffGrid energy station can be charged by plugging it into a wall socket or by the sun with one of the optional solar panels.
It is available in three models ranging from 300 W to 700 W and a battery capacity from 332 Wh to 726 Wh. The models range in weight from 3.3 kg to 6.3 kg.
The 500W and 700W models offer AC input; all three offer DC input with a 7909 connector. Output includes USB-A, USB-C and car cigarette lighter. All three can charge wirelessly up to 15 W.
The OffGrid solar panel is optional and comes in 100W or 200W models and has a solar energy conversion efficiency of 23%, the company reports.
Schneider Electric indicates that LG’s lithium-ion battery can handle more than 500 cycles at 80% capacity. The power plant ranges in price from $319 to $650 and comes with a 24-month parts and labor warranty.
The OffGrid was put to the test during Hurricane Helene relief efforts through Schneider Electric’s donation of 200 units to the Footprint Project. The nonprofit sends aid in the form of off-grid power to areas affected by climate disasters.
