Visuals

Image 1: A containerised Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) unit with solar panels mounted on its roof. A large grey diesel generator is positioned next to it, with electrical connections and control panels visible. The scene appears to be outdoors, possibly at a construction or installation site.

Image 2: A closer view of the generator and battery system. The generator unit has branding like "KRUGER" and various connection ports. Below the generator, several identical battery modules labeled "ECO4840P" are stacked vertically.

Image 3: A detailed shot of the stacked "ECO4840P" battery modules. Each module shows branding, status indicators (like a blue LED), and power connectors. An Australian Made logo is visible on one module.
