Paired Power, a manufacturer of solar-powered microgrid systems and energy management software, has partnered with PHNXX, an Australia-based company specialising in modular microgrids, to launch PairPHNXX, a plug-and-play portable solar power solution. The system is designed to supply electricity in remote or infrastructure-limited environments, requiring no on-site assembly.

A self-contained system ready within a day

The PairPHNXX system is delivered in a standard 20-foot ISO container and can be deployed and operational in under 24 hours. Once on site, it unfolds mechanically from a flatbed trailer and begins generating electricity immediately. Depending on configuration, the system’s solar capacity ranges from 46.4 kW to 92.8 kW, with battery storage from 42.4 to 636 kWh. It offers output power from 30 to 60 kW, available in 208VAC or 480VAC three-phase, or 120/240VAC single-phase setups.

Targeting markets from agriculture to defence

PairPHNXX targets use cases such as farming, construction sites, mining operations, military deployments, as well as emergency response and remote communities. The solution is aimed at locations where the lack of infrastructure limits access to reliable power supply.

PHNXX has been designated a provisional provider under the Alliance for Tribal Clean Energy’s Preferred Provider Program (PPP), a qualification framework that facilitates energy partnerships with tribal communities. The provisional status will be confirmed after completion of the Pathways to Trust℠ cultural training programme, a requirement for full certification.

Expansion strategy into off-grid communities

The goal of the Paired Power and PHNXX collaboration is to expand access to distributed energy, especially in regions that are geographically or economically excluded from the grid. The system integrates Paired Power’s proprietary energy management software with PHNXX’s modular infrastructure.

“We are reaching areas left behind by the grid,” said Joel Tay, Chief Executive Officer of PHNXX. “Through this collaboration, we are delivering resilient, renewable electricity to communities and industrial sectors that were previously unserved.”
