Off Grid Labs was founded in 2023, by two tradies who’d spent years working out of shipping containers on remote sites across Australia. Day after day, we endured the brutal reality of those hot, humid steel boxes. Dim lighting, stifling heat, and no escape from the conditions that
made every shift tougher than it needed to be.
That frustration became our spark. We knew there had to be a better way, so we set out to create practical, reliable solutions that improve working conditions, protect people, boost productivity, and safeguard valuable assets and stock, all without relying on the grid.
Proudly Australian-designed and manufactured, our flagship product is a fully solar-powered shipping container ventilation system. No grid connection required, it’s built tough for the most remote locations. Using high-efficiency solar extraction fans paired with specialised vents, it actively circulates air, expelling hot, moist air and drawing in cooler, drier outside air. Real-world testing shows locked containers can hit dangerous extremes, often exceeding 60°C in Australia’s harsh sun, creating unsafe environments for workers and risking damage to equipment or stored goods.
Our system dramatically reduces internal temperatures, bringing them within about 5°C of ambient conditions, making spaces cooler, safer, and far more comfortable.
We also offer specialised off-grid lighting systems for shipping containers. These bright, energy-efficient LED setups make entering and exiting safe, especially critical for 24/7 operations, and turn locating parts, tools, or equipment inside a dark container from a hassle into a breeze.
Additionally, we have a wide range of practical container-based accessories, including secure, quick-release mounts and custom brackets for mounting solar panels, Starlink antennas, CCTV cameras, and other gear. Installation is simple and tool-minimal, with no need to drill holes, keeping your container fully weatherproof and waterproof while standing up to Australia’s extreme conditions.
Whether you’re using containers for site workspaces, storing stock, protecting assets, or setting up remote operations, Off Grid Labs delivers solutions that work when and where you need them most. We’re passionate about making the world a better place, one shipping container at a time!
