Advantages
Why operators choose the VMHV500K3
Less fuel burned
Solar and battery carry the base load; the diesel generator engages only when required.
Lower maintenance cost
Fewer generator running hours extend service intervals.
On-demand diesel start
The EMS starts the generator only when needed, cutting noise and emissions.
Handles peak loads
Diesel and battery run in parallel to cover high peaks without interruption.
Works with your existing generator
Expansion mode connects to a generator you already own for phased deployment.
Hybrid power in a single 20 ft container
The VMHV500K3 is engineered for off-grid and remote industrial applications where diesel delivery and generator maintenance are expensive. Solar PV and the LiFePO4 battery supply the base load, and the Perkins 1706J generator starts only when the load or battery state requires it. The whole system ships as one 20 ft container, factory-direct from Chongqing, China.

FAQ
FAQ
What is included in the VMHV500K3 container?
One 20 ft container holds a 250 kW Perkins 1706J diesel generator with Stamford alternator, a 768 V LiFePO4 battery of up to 482 kWh, a solar MPPT input up to 1,100 V and the EMS. Output is 250 kW, three-phase 400/230 V, 50 Hz.
When does the diesel generator run?
Solar PV and the LiFePO4 battery supply the base load, and the EMS starts the Perkins generator only when the load or battery state requires it. For high peaks, diesel and battery run in parallel without interruption.
How long can it run on battery alone?
With the maximum 482 kWh, the battery supplies about 4.8 hours at a steady 100 kW or about 9.6 hours at 50 kW, before losses. Capacity depends on the number of battery modules, up to 20.
Can it connect to a generator we already own?
Yes. Expansion mode connects the VMHV500K3 to a generator you already own, which allows phased deployment on sites that already have diesel equipment in place.
Which sites and conditions is it designed for?
It is built for mines, remote camps, islands and off-grid industrial sites where diesel delivery is expensive. The battery operates from -30 °C to +65 °C, the generator has a 1,000 L fuel tank, and 4G monitoring and a router are included.
How is it shipped, and what are the order terms?
The system ships as one 20 ft container (6,058 × 2,438 × 2,591 mm, 15 t). Production takes 15–45 working days depending on model and quantity, and payment is a 30 % deposit with the balance before shipment, FOB or CIF. OEM configurations are available.
