CAST Energy

CAST Energy offers a solar power generation system, designed for easy implementation in remote areas thanks to its containerized format. This innovative system is fully modular and transportable in a standard 20- or 40-foot container.

Each container can generate up to 240 kW and o-ers an impressive storage capacity of 960 kWh, surpassing most other solutions on the market. Thanks to its proprietary panel deployment system, CAST Energy can install solar panels up to 2.3 meters high, minimizing spatial footprint. This system is perfectly suited to transforming access to clean energy in places that were previously difficult to equip.

CAST Energy is an early-stage startup born from a thesis project at University College London in collaboration with the United Nations’ World Food Programme.

Following a pre-incubation phase at Imperial College London, CAST Energy is now supported by the incubators of Société Générale and IMT Atlantique, as well as the King’s Entrepreneurship Lab (Cambridge).
