In the world today, there is a growing need for the development of more power, which should preferably be from renewable energy sources. According to experts (i.e Statkraft) there is an urgent need to build out more quickly, as Norway is in danger of running into a deficit of power as early as 2026. Much of the power that is in demand is the state and the large power companies that must stand for, but there is still something you as a private person can do that benefits yourself and society.
SoWin Power has built and developed a power station with exactly these needs as a backdrop. Below, we have collected six benefits of investing in an energy solution such as a power station from us.
1. Integrated energy solution
SoWin Power's innovative plug-and-play power station combines solar panels, wind turbines and recycled electric car batteries. This unique combination ensures a steady and reliable energy supply, even under changing weather conditions and even with the different seasons we have here in Norway, where the winter months in particular are characterized by little sun. Then wind and battery function can help to balance out the production of electricity and its storage until you need it. In other words, by integrating several energy sources, you can maximize energy production and reduce dependence on the public power grid, for those who are connected to the power grid.
2. Mobile and easy installation
Traditional solar cell installations - for example, solar cell panels on roofs - are both complex and expensive, often with faulty installations that can lead to water damage and fire hazards. In fact, the Norwegian Electricity Authority finds in its inspections that as many as three out of four systems are installed incorrectly. SoWin Power's power stations are designed for easy installation without the need for special tools or technical expertise. It is delivered complete. This makes them perfect for remote cabins and homes, where accessing professional installation services can be challenging. But it must still be said that you should prepare the area and the area on the ground where the power station will stand. This area - two to four square meters in size - should be flat, stable and firm enough for the power station to stand there. Some of our customers have also cast a plinth in concrete to ensure that the station stands as well as possible. If you are also going to connect the power station to an existing system inside the cabin, you must have an electrician for it in accordance with the regulations.
3. Increased energy efficiency and storage
A major challenge with many existing solar cell solutions is the lack of integrated battery storage. SoWin Power solves this by including re-certified electric car batteries in its power stations. Both in Norway and in Europe, there is a large untapped potential in used batteries from electric cars. We at SoWin Power have taken advantage of this opportunity and use these batteries as an important component in our power stations. We supply battery packs with capacities from 7 to 42 kWh. It makes it possible to store excess energy for use when the solar and wind conditions are not optimal, which ensures a more efficient use of energy and reduced energy wastage.
4. Sustainable and environmentally friendly
By using these re-certified - repurposed, electric car batteries, SoWin Power helps to reduce waste and utilize existing resources in a sustainable way. According to, among others, the US Department of Energy, as much as 95 percent of used electric car batteries are still not put into use again. A great opportunity to make future energy solutions more sustainable. Combined with renewable energy sources such as solar and wind, this provides an environmentally friendly energy solution that reduces the carbon footprint and supports global sustainability goals.
5. Financial benefits
Although the initial investment may be significant, SoWin Power's power stations provide long-term financial benefits. By producing your own energy, you can reduce or eliminate electricity bills, and in some cases you can also make money by selling surplus energy back to the grid - for you who are connected. In Norway, the support schemes for investing in own energy solutions are still not good enough - we think, but if we look at Sweden, the schemes are much better. Something that stimulates the purchase and use of private energy solutions. We believe it is only a matter of time before we have the same arrangements in Norway, then the financial benefits will also be greater.
6. Increased energy security
In an age of increasing concerns about power outages and energy security, SoWin Power's power stations provide a reliable solution. By being independent from the public power grid, you are guaranteed access to electricity even during crisis situations and power outages, which increases both the safety and comfort of your home or cabin. There is a growing trend among many to go off-grid and the trend in cabin construction in recent years has been to build smaller cabins without electricity. In such cases, a power station will be a good investment for those who want to be off-grid, be self-sufficient in clean electricity and have the comfort that electricity gives to the cabin or home.
In summary
Our plug-and-play power stations represent an innovative and efficient solution for today's energy needs. With benefits such as ease of installation, increased energy efficiency, sustainability and financial gains, this is an investment that both individuals and businesses can benefit from. If you became curious now, there is no reason to hesitate to get in touch. We are ready to help you get the energy solution of the future in place at your cabin or home.
