Built by Electricians. Engineered for Independence.

Off-Grid Solar Containers was born from a simple request that kept coming up: "Can you build me a solar skid?"

As Danger Electric's solar department grew across the Southwest, we kept hearing from clients with remote properties, hunting cabins, and off-grid builds—people who needed serious power in places where running utility lines wasn't practical or even possible. They needed something mobile, robust, and ready to perform in harsh conditions.

The answer was right in front of us: shipping containers.

Why Containers?

Structural strength, weather resistance, and universal availability made shipping containers the perfect backbone for a mobile power plant. We could build complete electrical systems inside a platform designed to travel the world—then deliver that same reliability to a mountain valley or desert ranch.

What started as a creative solution during a slow season became something bigger: a new way to deliver energy independence without the complexity, cost, and delays of traditional installations.

The Danger Electric Foundation

Off-Grid Solar Containers isn't a startup experimenting with solar—it's the natural evolution of Danger Electric's decades of electrical and solar expertise. Our team holds active electrical licenses across multiple states, manages large-scale commercial solar installations, and understands the real-world demands of off-grid power systems.

Our Team:

Dan King - Founder, strategic vision
Brandon - Construction & Project Manager (Fab Shop, programming, builds)
Stephen - VP of Operations (estimating, design-build projects, specialty systems)

Every container is built by licensed electricians to commercial standards—not hobbyists or DIY kits. We know electrical code, we understand solar production, and we've seen what works (and what fails) in the field.

Why We Do This

Energy independence shouldn't require a PhD in electrical engineering or a year-long construction project. It should be straightforward: you need power, we deliver a complete system, and you get on with living your life.

Whether you're building a remote homestead, powering a hunting ranch, preparing for grid instability, or simply refusing to compromise on self-sufficiency—we built this for you.

Real Power. Real Places. Real Independence.

Powering a Remote Hunting Ranch - Southeastern Colorado

The Challenge:

A large, remote hunting ranch in southeastern Colorado—miles from the nearest utility connection. The property needed reliable, substantial power for year-round operations, guest accommodations, and ranch infrastructure. Running power lines wasn't economically viable. Traditional solar installations would require extensive on-site construction and permitting complexity.

The Solution:

A custom-built Off-Grid Solar Container configured for the property's specific power demands. The container was delivered, placed, and connected—providing a complete power plant without the typical months-long installation timeline.

The Result:

The ranch now operates with full energy independence. Lights, appliances, workshop tools, and guest facilities all run on clean, reliable solar power with battery backup. The owner was so satisfied with the system's performance and simplicity that they've become one of our strongest advocates.

Video testimonial and detailed case study coming soon.

Building Off-Grid: Power Before the House

The Challenge:

A client purchasing land to build their dream off-grid home faced a common problem: you need power to build a house, but you're building in a location specifically because there's no grid connection. Generators are expensive to run continuously and unreliable for powering tools and equipment during construction.

The Solution:

An Off-Grid Solar Container delivered to the property before construction began. The container provided clean, consistent power throughout the entire build process—running saws, drills, welders, and site lighting without the noise, fuel costs, and maintenance headaches of generator-only operation.

The Result:

The home is now complete, and the same container that powered construction now powers daily life. No utility bills. No grid dependency. Just reliable energy from day one.

This is what energy independence looks like in practice.
