Duke Renewables: Solar/Wind Storage Equipment Case
Duke Energy Renewables operates 50+ solar farms and wind farms across the US Southeast, totaling 5+ GW of renewable capacity. Field service teams need mobile diagnostic equipment for inverter and battery storage system maintenance.
Challenges
Outdoor solar/wind farms have high humidity, dust, and temperature variation. Battery storage systems need extra ESD protection. Equipment must survive daily truck transport across 1,000+ miles.
Solution
We supplied 150 IP67 trolley cases with custom foam for inverter diagnostic kits (Keysight oscilloscopes, Fluke insulation testers). Anti-static foam + moisture barrier bags protect sensitive PCBs from humidity. Black color for solar heat absorption minimization.
Results
Zero ESD damage incidents in 18 months. Equipment uptime improved 25% (faster deployment). 30% reduction in field service call duration due to organized tool layout.
