Not sure where you live, but I see these trailers for sale locally in Craigslist and recently saw one in the RV storage lot. I would think they're all in Phoenix or the company did make thousands of them. After being a few years old, the trailer was not new and shiny anymore.
I guess my point is you might be able to find someone to let you look at it on Craigslist.
Need help finding out who make the Cabinets on DC Solar Trailers.

Finding a cabinet to house an SMA sunny island and SMA inverter in the same cabinet is a different problem than trying to find a DC solar cabinet. SMA has very specific clearances for mounting each device in open air applications (reference the on line manual). There is nothing referenced in the manual about internal cabinet mounting even with fans. The SMA inverter is basically one large vertical finned heatsink with electronics attached to it. Using my Seek thermal imager, I can see the plume of heat coming off of the SMA inverter for 20 feet inside my pole barn. Even then, the inverter is very warm to the touch in the summer. A call to SMA america would be in order to see what they recommend for internal cabinet mounting.

Hi I am new here and am in the planning stages of setting up a PV system.
I came across a post with these cabinets and two of them would suit my project perfectly.
I cannot find who makes them so I decided to see if anybody here knows who supplies them or has any for sale.
Sorry for borrowing another members photo but it's the clearest shot I have seen.Thanks, but all of those cabinets max out at about 36" wide and none have the cooling fans or outdoor weather ratings.Yes, but I don't see anything quite like that one or even slightly bigger, they seem to jump from small <= 36" up to huge expensive sizes with nothing in between.

I think someone messaged me but I don't have access to the messages. Not sure if it's because I don't have a sufficient amount of posts yet?Leave a comment:

well those are your options either pay through the nose for something custom, or modify a mass produced item to make it fit your needs for less money. DC was a scam company, they got them custom made to fund their ponzi scheme.Leave a comment:

Have you tried some of the electrical panel manufacturers? They have to produce NEMA3R and 4 type cabinets that have to experience all types of weather (hot,cold,dry & wet)Leave a comment:
