Autonomous Power Supply for Small Businesses and Remote Locations
In the modern world, autonomous power supply is becoming increasingly important, especially for small facilities, home offices, and mobile businesses. A reliable source of electricity ensures stable operation even in the most remote locations where a centralized power grid is unavailable or its operation is unstable. This is particularly relevant for organizing outdoor events, food trucks, enterprises in the construction and agricultural sectors, as well as for remote residential properties.
Powerful portable power stations, capable of providing up to 3 kW of power, open up wide possibilities for autonomous power supply. Thanks to such stations, you can use lighting, kitchen appliances, power tools, computers, security systems, and other necessary devices regardless of the availability of a stationary power supply.
Autonomous Power Sources from Könner & Söhnen
For such purposes, TM “Könner & Söhnen” offers two innovative products — the KS 2000PS and the KS 3000PS. These portable power stations are multifunctional devices that combine a large lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) battery, a powerful solar inverter, and an uninterruptible power supply system.

KS 3000PS
- Power: 3000 W
- Battery capacity: 3225 Wh (126 Ah)
- Number of charge/discharge cycles: up to 6000 cycles (80% DOD)
- Weight: 36 kg

Key advantages of these stations:
-
Mobile autonomous power supply with high power.
The compact, durable metal casing contains a powerful battery and electronic units that ensure fast charging of the station and intelligent control. Convenient handles and wheels allow you to easily move the station and install it in the desired location without special permits or stationary connection. -
Various charging methods and generator compatibility.
Autonomous power stations can store energy from solar panels, AC mains, and a generator, ensuring uninterrupted power supply under any conditions. -
High charging speed.
The stations can charge the internal battery with a current of up to 60A, allowing them to replenish their charge very quickly. -
UPS functionality (uninterruptible power supply).
These stations allow direct power supply to connected consumers from the 230V mains or from solar panels. In the event of a power outage, the station instantly switches to battery power. This happens in milliseconds, so devices do not turn off and do not experience power interruptions. The advantage of such stations is also that they have a significantly larger energy reserve compared to conventional UPSs, and devices will work longer. -
Clean current, multiple power connectors.
The stations are equipped with 10 outputs for connecting various devices. You can simultaneously power 3 devices via a 230 V Schuko socket, 2 devices via DC 12 V, and 5 via USB outputs: 4x USB Type A + 1x USB Type C. Thus, Könner & Söhnen portable power stations can supply electricity to a wide range of equipment, from gadgets to heavy power tools. But they are especially useful for powering devices with sensitive electronics, as the 230 V sockets generate high-quality current with a pure sine wave. This is critical for medical equipment, computers, and network equipment.
Up to 1.65 kW per Hour from the Sun!
One of the key advantages of the KS 2000PS and KS 3000PS portable power stations from Könner & Söhnen is the ability to quickly charge from solar panels, receiving up to 1.65 kW of solar energy per hour! Most competing models are limited to receiving 600-900 W per hour, which significantly reduces their efficiency, especially in conditions of limited access to the power grid. In contrast, the KS 2000PS and KS 3000PS portable power stations can charge from the sun up to 80% in 1 hour (KS 2000PS) or in 2 hours (KS 3000PS). This charging speed allows you to maximize the use of daylight hours and ensure uninterrupted power supply.
This high performance is achieved thanks to an advanced MPPT controller, which provides maximum energy for charging the station. Our MPPT controller tracks the maximum power point, allowing you to receive more energy even in difficult weather conditions. This is especially important with uneven panel illumination, variable cloud cover, or different temperature regimes, when other systems can lose a significant portion of energy.
For the KS 2000PS and KS 3000PS, the MPPT voltage range from solar panels is 30-120 V, which allows connecting various panel configurations. Using Könner & Söhnen portable power stations in combination with solar panels provides an environmentally friendly and efficient energy source for years to come. In this setup, the station will act as an efficient MPPT controller and storage for solar panels with intelligent distribution functions. This is an ideal solution for autonomous power supply for a mobile business or office during the day, but there are certain limitations for the evening and night. Next, we will tell you how to make this setup even more autonomous.
Just a Generator or a Portable Power Station + Generator?
Fully autonomous power supply can be provided by a generator with sufficient power, but the optimal solution is a combination of "portable power station with solar panels + generator". Let's consider the advantages of each of these devices:
- Generators: Ideal for short-term outages as a backup power source. They provide high power immediately after starting but require regular maintenance and refueling.
- Portable power stations: Operate silently, do not produce harmful emissions, and can be charged from solar panels. This is a great option for long-term use, which significantly reduces operating costs.
Combining these two sources allows you to maximize their advantages: the generator provides instant power during the absence of voltage from the sun or the central grid, and the portable power station accumulates energy for long-term autonomous use. In such a connection, the generator operates only when solar energy is unavailable or insufficient. This significantly reduces the operating time of the generator, reduces fuel costs, and lowers noise levels.
The KS 2000PS and KS 3000PS portable power stations have significant advantages due to their easy integration with generators. For example, in combination with the KS 4000iE S ATS Version 3 and KS 6000iE S ATS Version 3 generators, they allow creating combined systems that provide maximum autonomy. Thanks to the presence of programmable "dry" contacts, these stations can automatically start or stop the generator depending on the charge level of their battery. This ensures convenient and automated control of power from the generator and allows, if necessary, to completely abandon the central power grid.
In addition, these portable power stations are equipped with a built-in charging module with a power factor corrector (PFC), which minimizes reactive power losses and significantly increases the efficiency of charging from the generator. This increases the efficiency and performance of the system and allows you to maximize the use of every watt of energy produced by the generator.
Areas and Examples of Application
Powerful portable power stations KS 2000PS and KS 3000PS can be effectively used in various fields:
- Backup power for the home: Charge the station from the sun during the day and use the stored energy in the evening to power your appliances. In the event of power outages, these stations provide stable autonomous power for critical devices such as lighting and a gas boiler, maintaining your comfort and safety.
- Electric vehicle charging: The stations can provide backup charging for electric vehicles, adding up to 15-20 km of range.
- For a motorhome: Perfectly suited for autonomous power supply of household appliances, lighting, and other devices during camping.
- Business and trade: Stations can be used at offsite events, fairs, and other places where there is no permanent access to the power grid.
- Outdoor recreation: Thanks to their power and mobility, these stations are suitable for camping, trips to the dacha, or outdoor excursions.
