Schneider Electric, the leader in the digital transformation of energy management and automation, introduced Schneider OffGrid, an all-new portable power station that offers long-lasting battery life and versatile power outputs, with a design and packaging that reduces environmental impact.
Designed for the true outdoor enthusiast, Schneider OffGrid offers consumers reliable power on the go, in a compact and lightweight design, providing power in an era when electricity is essential for daily life and outdoor adventures.
The premium portable power station with its long-lasting rechargeable battery can keep phones, laptops, cameras, or even small appliances running, whether off the grid or in need of backup power. Featuring a wide range of charging ports—including a car auxiliary power outlet, USB-A, USB-C, AC sockets, DC ports, and even wireless charging—Schneider OffGrid can power virtually any mobile device or small appliance.
The option to recharge the portable power station via compatible solar panels also makes it an ideal energy source for outdoor and everyday use. Beyond its extensive charging capabilities, Schneider OffGrid operates quietly and cleanly, making it a preferred alternative to a traditional generator.
Reliability, sustainability, and adaptability are baked into Schneider OffGrid, including:
- Reliable, long-lasting power: While being one of the most lightweight models on the market, this portable power station delivers more power and lasts longer than many alternatives, offering high capacity in a compact sturdy package. Schneider OffGrid includes an ambient LED light and a flashing SOS light mode to enhance visibility and keep prepared for unexpected situations.
- Sustainable by design: Schneider OffGrid reduces waste and environmental impact by being constructed from 60% post-consumer recycled plastic and shipped in packaging made of paper cardboard and paper pulp, with the box being 100% recyclable. Its energy-efficient design conserves power while extending the life of the battery through an eco-mode auto shutdown feature.
- Adaptable charging on-the-go: Schneider OffGrid supports flexible input charging options, including solar, USB-C, car, and wall outlets, making it versatile and convenient. It can connect to a wide range of devices, ensuring compatibility and ease of use. An intuitive LCD display provides clear and accessible information, simplifying the user’s experience and control.
Schneider OffGrid Provides Critical Power During Hurricane Helene Relief Efforts
Schneider Electric recently donated the first of its supply of Schneider OffGrid – more than 200 units – to the Footprint Project, a nonprofit organization dedicated to creating sustainable energy solutions for disaster relief efforts. The portable power station is helping provide power during outages in areas affected by Hurricane Helene. Footprint Project has been distributing Schneider OffGrid to community centers, medical and elderly care facilities in the heavily impacted Western North Carolina region.
In addition to battery-powered solutions for disaster relief, Footprint Project deploys more than a dozen solar-powered microgrid trailers that utilize Schneider Electric’s solar inverter and energy management software to service areas of the U.S. affected by climate emergencies. The trailers provide reliable clean power for charging devices, refrigeration, Wi-Fi, power tools, water production, and other critical needs.
Over the past four years, Schneider Electric has donated $2.3 million in funding and electrical equipment to Footprint Project. Schneider’s donations have enabled the nonprofit to expand its reach and enhance disaster resilience. The company also provides engineering support, its equipment is used to enable Footprint’s microgrids, and has a team of volunteers and military veterans supporting community efforts.
