02 / COMPARISON
If you need power somewhere there isn't any,
you've got four bad choices.
Trench, solar, generator, or go without. Here's what each of them actually looks like when the job is to keep a small instrument alive for a month with nobody driving out.

Before it happens
Met One's own manual says powering a single 50-watt dust monitor off-grid takes 290–1,010 W of solar panel plus seven 110 Ah batteries — and North Idaho in December is the 1,010 W end.

DROPPED — AND WHY
Atmospheric water generation
Best-case energy intensity is 0.3 kWh per litre. One gallon a day is a third of the entire budget. In a North Idaho winter it doesn't degrade — it stops: at 5 °C / 40 % RH the dew point is −7.5 °C and the coil makes frost, not water.
SOURCE / EPA LCA · WATERGEN + ECOLOBLUE
KEPT — AND WHY
Filtration from an existing source
A SHURflo pump at 26–82 W intermittent plus a Viqua UV at 17 W is 0.02–0.4 kWh/day — one to three percent of budget. Spec heat trace beforefiltration; it's the binding constraint in winter.

06 / HOW IT WORKS
From your inquiry to retrieval.
01
CONFIGURE
Size your site.
Use the calculator, get a verdict, save the config. Or just call — you tell me watts and days.
02
RESERVE
$250 holds a unit.
Deposit is fully credited to month one. Refundable if we can’t make the site work.
03
SITE CALL
We walk the site.
Access, siting, refuel plan, safety briefing. If you’re on a GC site, NRTL package lands before the call.
04
DEPLOY + WATCH
Delivery, then telemetry.
I drop the box, commission the load, hand you a dashboard login. Service is scheduled off telemetry, not a calendar.
07 / FAQ
The five questions you're about to ask.
Isn't that just a generator?
A generator runs constantly and is sized for your peak. This is a battery that carries the load silently, with a small engine that runs only to refill it. At 100 W the engine runs about two hours a day — the other twenty-two are silent. A Honda at that load is below quarter throttle: two or three refuels a day, forever, and it's slowly destroying itself. Caterpillar's own guidance says never run a genset under 30 % of nameplate.
Why not just add solar?
Because you size solar for December, not July. The industry standard for one 50 W instrument is 290 W of panel at good sun and 1,010 W at two peak-sun-hours — which is North Idaho in winter — plus seven 110 Ah batteries. That's a fixed installation with a footprint, and it still browns out in a smoke event or a snow week.
Is it UL listed?
Not yet. It's in NRTL field evaluation — quote and timeline are attached to every proposal. In the meantime here's the test-data package: insulation resistance, GFCI, overcurrent, thermal at sustained load, ingress rating, fuel containment, BMS fault behavior. Ask, and it lands in your inbox before your safety manager does.
What happens when it runs out of fuel?
It tells me before it does. Fuel level, engine hours, state of charge, and load are all on a dashboard — you get a login too. Service visits are scheduled off the telemetry, not off a calendar. That's the actual product: not the box, the fact that you don't have to think about the box.
Can you run my trailer's heat, a welder, or a saw all day?
No. Anything over about 2 kW sustained is outside what this does. Use the calculator above — it'll tell you straight. If part of your load is small and continuous (cameras, sensors, comms), we can cover that piece and leave the heavy stuff on a towable.
08 / RESERVE

your unit.
Credited fully to your first month. Every deployment needs a site conversation — access, siting, refuel plan, safety briefing — so the last step is a call, not a checkout.
