LAUNCH OF GUELPH’S FIRST MOBILE ENERGY FACILITY
developed by
IN
BRIEF:
The city of Guelphʼs first commercially-available mobile energy facility is now in operation.
We are introducing this new, sustainable technology to the city as a complement to
Guelphʼs current leading-edge eco-initiatives.
THE AC POWER HOUSE & HOW IT WORKS
The mobile energy facility (called the AC Power House) is currently on-site
at the Guelph Waste Resource Innovation Centreʼs wet/dry recycling facility.
The roof uses 16 solar panels to harness power by converting sunlight into
energy - even on cloudy days!
The roof of this AC Power House currently produces 5280 kwH annually...
...thatʼs enough to power 15 fridges for a whole year.
Power is stored within an Absolyte battery bank sheltered in the smaller of two rooms in the
AC Power House.
The Power Houseʼs larger room has flexible functions, able to serve as office or meeting space.
All energy data from the AC Power House is uploaded and stored online, able to be remotely
monitored and viewed via any device.
The AC Power House is currently attached to a Gateman-Milloy construction trailer, and has
been fully powering the trailer for 8 weeks.
CAPABILITIES
BATTERY
FEATURES & BENEFITS
Total SCALABILITY: The battery can be completely customized – with the
ability to power a small appliance or an entire building.
Total PORTABILITY: The AC Power House is completely mobile, able to
be dropped in any climate where solar energy can be harnessed – a
Guelph backyard, or the middle of the Sahara desert. This makes the
battery ideal for construction projects: it can be put on a truck and
moved anywhere. The battery is also an easy way to earn points toward
a LEED certification, with no need to bring grid power on site.
FUTURE USES
Does not require a separate battery room
Transparent, flame-retardant module cover
Recombination efficiency greater than 99%
Deep discharge recovery
Accepts high rate charge
Meets U.B.C. Seismic IV requirements
Simple cell replacement capability
Freezing-tolerant
Facilities will be developed according to custom power needs, and will be
available for both rent and purchase.
The ultimate goal for these facilities is to provide full power to personal and/or
commercial properties and residences, ideally taking them completely off the public grid
(aka “islanding”).

ABOUT ANVIL CRAWLER DEVELOPMENT CORP
Anvil Crawler Development Corporation (”Anvil Crawler”) provides opportunities for
off-the-grid, sustainable power through the creation of mobile, solar-powered batteries
that are completely scalable and portable. Anvil Crawler is also developing and owning
substantial solar-generating facilities all across Ontario through private and public
partnerships.
Anvil Crawler is a joint partnership between:
Mark Dupuis, CEO of Anvil Crawler Development Corporation
Skyline Energy (Jason Castellan, Martin Castellan, Roy Jason Ashdown, and Wayne
Byrd, owners of the Skyline Group of Companies, based in downtown Guelph)
Steve Bellamy, President of Bellamy Electric
Anvil Crawler came together when Mark Dupuis and Steve Bellamy worked together to
install its first 500 kWh solar project at Jason Castellanʼs property. From there, a passion
for solar and renewable energy led them to the concept of a mobile powerhouse, the
first of which is now in operation today.
The Skyline Apartment REIT, a nearly-200 building portfolio of properties across Canada
(managed by the Skyline Group of Companies), currently has 60 solar rooftop
installations in operation, and is an excellent prospective client for Anvil Crawlerʼs
technologies. As these properties are already a part of a sustainable efficiency plan
(with lighting retrofits, appliance replacement, etc), they are especially good candidates
for off-the-grid power during peak times—or, eventually, altogether.
