Hi Wade, everyone.

I converted a 10x30ft shipping container for our solar powered workshop.  Everything we create is open source, not had time/capacity to get the build online yet but happy to share how we built it/photos/etc.  Essentially I built a timber frame inside with rockwool insulation, clad this with 18mm ply (9mm is adequate but I had to work with what I could get), fitted 6 x 250W solar panels on the roof and built a power unit incorporating an isolator switch, leading to a Victron Energy charge controlled to feed 2 x 100Ah Lead Crystal batteries in a vented secure workbench.  All workbenches, toolboards built from same materials, surfaces on the main benches 3mm aluminium sheeting, dibond on two [upcycled building hoardings].  All lighting is LED and 12V, I fitted an inverter to power laptop, oscilloscope (to check not std eBike PAS units etc), charge drills and run our soldering station.
