Beyond the Gridline: MOBISMART’s MOBISUN-350 HELI Brings Power to the Edge of Wind Discovery

When your next wind site is hundreds of kilometres from the grid — over ice roads, mountain ridges, or northern tundra — reliable power isn’t optional — It’s mission-critical.

That’s why MOBISMART Clean Power Solutions developed the MOBISUN-350 HELI: a helicopter-deployable hybrid solar + fuel cell power trailer engineered to deliver continuous, autonomous power for wind resource assessment, LiDAR campaigns, and other off-grid operations — without the noise, emissions, or maintenance of diesel generators.

Engineered for Wind Developers Working Beyond the Grid

Wind projects start long before turbines rise. Months — sometimes years — of data collection, environmental monitoring, and site preparation must happen in locations where no electrical infrastructure exists.

The MOBISUN-350 HELI was built for exactly that phase.
Compact, rugged, and easy to deploy by helicopter, it supplies reliable power to ZX 300 LiDAR, met-towers, remote communications, and weather stations where uptime equals progress.

At a Glance

• 3 kW Solar Array + 350 W Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) running on propane

• Up to 6 months of autonomous operation without refuelling

• 19 kWh battery storage (eight AGM batteries)

• 24/7 remote monitoring via cellular or satellite — Starlink-ready

• Operates reliably down to –40 °C, with optional heating pads

• Weighs under 1,600 lb per lift for standard helicopter transport

How It Works

The system integrates three proven clean-energy technologies:

1. Solar array captures daytime energy.

2. SOFC fuel cell automatically activates at night or in low-solar conditions to maintain charge.

3. AGM battery bank ensures stable, continuous power to sensitive instruments like LiDARs or sensors.

Everything is controlled remotely — technicians can check performance, update parameters, and receive alerts without setting foot on site.
No refuelling runs. No downtime. No surprises.

Why Wind-Energy Teams Choose MOBISUN-350 HELI

1 | Zero Diesel, Zero Downtime

Traditional diesel gensets can consume hundreds of litres per month and require regular maintenance trips. The MOBISUN-350 HELI eliminates those fuel runs — keeping data flowing and operating costs down.

2 | Precision Deployment

Shipped flat-packed and ready for helicopter lift, the system can be installed and operational within hours — ideal for tight campaign schedules or weather windows in remote regions.

3 | ESG Alignment

No NOₓ, SOₓ, or particulate emissions — helping wind-energy companies advance their Scope 1 & 2 carbon-reduction targets while reducing noise and environmental footprint at sensitive sites.

4 | Cold-Climate Resilience

Designed and tested in Canada, the HELI performs through northern winters and sub-arctic conditions, ensuring year-round power continuity for met-campaigns and long-duration studies.

Real-World Proven Performance

When a wind-resource assessment team in Alaska needed autonomous power for a ZX 300 LiDAR in extreme cold, a MOBISUN trailer kept the system running for months at –38 °C — with no refuelling and zero downtime.

That same reliability now comes in a helicopter-deployable form, making it ideal for sites across Canada, the U.S., and northern Europe where road access is seasonal or non-existent.

Applications Across the Wind Project Lifecycle

• Wind Resource Assessment: Long-term LiDAR or met-mast power in remote terrain

• Site Communications: Power for repeater or relay towers pre-construction

• Environmental Monitoring: Autonomous power for wildlife or weather sensors

• Commissioning & O&M: Power backup for remote substations or off-grid staging areas

The Bottom Line

The MOBISUN-350 HELI isn’t just a generator replacement — it’s a fully autonomous clean-energy system designed for the realities of remote wind development.

• Light enough to fly.
• Smart enough to self-manage.
• Strong enough to keep your data and your projects running without interruption.
