GCL SI introduced its EcoPower Mate mobile PV storage solution ahead of its debut at SNEC 2026 in Shanghai
The system is designed for remote and off-grid applications, including mining, oil and gas, islands, temporary construction, and agricultural sites
GCL SI says the solution can lower LCOE compared to diesel generation while enabling rapid deployment and reduced installation requirements
Off-grid industrial operations continue to rely heavily on diesel generators, particularly in sectors such as oil and gas extraction, mining, and temporary infrastructure projects. In remote regions, these systems often face high fuel transportation costs, intensive maintenance requirements, and increasing environmental pressures associated with emissions and noise. As industries look for alternatives, mobile and integrated solar-plus-storage systems are emerging as an option to reduce dependence on conventional fuel-based power generation.
GCL System Integration Technology Co. Ltd. (GCL SI) has launched its EcoPower Mate mobile PV storage solution for remote and off-grid energy applications. The integrated PV-storage platform is designed for quick installation and deployment in remote locations and sites with limited power access. The company plans to showcase the product for the first time at SNEC 2026, taking place from June 3-5 in Shanghai.
The EcoPower Mate portfolio includes 3 configurations. The RG20-M offers 117.7 kW of capacity and is designed as a rail-mounted system for long-term fixed deployment at mining and oil and gas sites. The RG20-A, rated at 94.16 kW, is also rail-mounted and incorporates automated deployment features to reduce labor requirements. The WG20-A is a smaller 46.56 kW wheel-mounted version intended for temporary applications, emergency power, and rental markets. According to the company, this version can be deployed on terrain with slopes of up to 2° without requiring complex on-site infrastructure.
The system is compatible with mainstream inverters and supports off-grid, hybrid, and grid-connected operating modes. According to the company, target applications include remote industrial operations, infrastructure projects in isolated regions and islands, renewable-powered data centers, and temporary distributed power supply scenarios.
Replacing diesel generation with the EcoPower Mate system can reduce the levelized cost of energy from around $0.28-0.32/kWh to approximately $0.10-0.12/kWh, says the company. GCL also claims installation costs can be reduced by more than 50%, while operation and maintenance expenses may decline by 40%.
GCL SI says its first overseas EcoPower Mate projects are currently under development in Saudi Arabia, marking the company’s initial international expansion of the product.
