Boxpower
Off-grid electrifiction in low-income rural communities
BoxPower seeks to facilitate off-grid electrification in low-income rural populations by providing consumers with hybrid renewable microgrids. Our hope is that our energy systems plug-and-play units built around standard 20 ft. shipping containers will help lay the foundations for a sustainable future, starting with the most economically vulnerable populations.
BoxPower was founded in 2016 by Angelo Campus. Drawing on experiences working in remote locations in Peru, Polynesia, and the Navajo Nation, Angelo saw that the falling prices of solar energy and battery technology could be leveraged to bring clean, affordable energy to off-grid sites, and that shipping containers could be used to bring durable, portable, and scalable systems around the world. Drawing on the expertise of a veteran advisory board and the diverse skills of our team, BoxPower is developing rugged, rapidly deployable energy solutions to replace diesel generators as the world standard.
