Offgrid Portable Power Unit
Portable Power
A totally new environment for Schneider Electric Products… the outdoors!
Bringing clean & reliable energy wherever you go.
Inspiration
Our audience is outdoorsy folks who also want the luxury of electricity anywhere.
The power unit should be able to be used for daily use, power outage emergencies, or be pulled out of the gear closet for a wild adventure.
The Design
Iterations
The final design incorporated the I-Line center stripe with plenty off truss-like structured ventilation.
Final Design
In House Prototype
There were several different materials that we considered for the use of the body.
The casing is made with 60% post-consumer recycled plastic. We were proud to achieve a high percentage of recycled material & keep the product durable & thought about using different finishes to showcase the greenness of the product.
The handle also was an opportunity to show structure, interest, & compactness of the unit. We wanted the tactile experience of handling the PPU to feel comfortable, compact, & high quality.
300W

500W
