About HTE055 Modular Outdoor Power Supply
HTE055 Modular is an outdoor power supply designed for portable energy use. A single unit provides 1100 watts of power and 1002 watt hours of capacity. Multiple units can be connected in parallel without limit, so power and capacity can be increased for high-power appliances. The power supply can be charged by solar panels, mains electricity or a vehicle, and can serve 14 devices at the same time. The 94V-0 fireproof shell is wear resistant, drop proof and resistant to ultraviolet light, wind and sand. Operation is suitable from minus 60 to 40 degrees Celsius.
This modular outdoor power supply system by Shenzhen Hello Tech Energy Co.,Ltd exemplifies the convergence of sustainable energy technology with thoughtful industrial design principles that have come to define excellence in portable power solutions. The HTE055 system demonstrates remarkable consideration for both functional performance and visual coherence, employing a distinctive orange and charcoal gray color scheme that serves multiple purposes: the vibrant orange elements facilitate rapid visual identification of handles, interfaces, and connection points while simultaneously establishing a memorable product identity that communicates energy, vitality, and outdoor adventure. The foldable solar panels represent sophisticated engineering translated into accessible form, their bifold construction enabling compact transport while their generous photovoltaic surface area ensures meaningful power generation capabilities. The stacked power station configuration reveals intelligent modularity thinking, allowing users to expand capacity according to specific needs while maintaining a unified aesthetic language across components. Technical accomplishment manifests in the precise alignment of ventilation systems, the considered placement of output ports for ergonomic access, and the integration of digital displays that provide essential information without visual clutter. The connecting cables, rather than appearing as afterthoughts, participate in the overall composition as functional elements that visually demonstrate system integration. This design approach reflects broader movements in sustainable technology toward products that not only perform essential functions but also communicate values of environmental responsibility and self-sufficiency through their visual presence. The presentation invites contemplation of how design excellence can transform utilitarian objects into aspirational equipment that enhances outdoor experiences while promoting renewable energy adoption. What relationship might users develop with technology that enables independence from traditional power infrastructure while maintaining connection to natural environments?
Press Kit
- Unique Properties
- It can connect unlimited units in parallel. One single unit has 1100w power and 1002wh capacity, and the power can be doubled to supply power for high-power electrical equipment through parallel connection.The HTE055 outdoor power supply can be charged with the solar panel, and can supply power for 14 devices at the same time. The power supply is compatible with 99% of common electrical appliances and is suitable for various outdoor environments from -60℃ to 40℃.

- Tags
- Outdoor power supply, multi-parallel, high power, high capacity, easy-to-store, portable, solar charging, green energy.
- Production Technology
- Due to the durability, stability and portability of the machine, it uses a 94V-0 fireproof shell, which is wear-resistant, drop-proof, anti-ultraviolet and is resistant to wind and sand. The power supply with built-in electric vehicle-grade power battery has passed the UN38.3 shockproof test and 9 quality inspection, which ensures a stable current output.
- Design Challenge
- Main challenges: 1, heat dissipation, wind noise, temperature control of inverter 2, Drop reliability
1, We use the intelligent temperature control system to automatically adjust the fan speed, and guiding by the heat dissipation principle of conduction, dissipation and flow, we optimize the layout of the heat sink aluminum sheet, air ducts and other structures to form a cycle, reducing noise and improving heat conduction efficiency.
2. The machine’s self-tapping screws are changed to in-mold injection copper nuts, and the machine is assembled and fastened with screws to solve the problem of drop reliability. - Project Duration
- The project started in 2020 in Shenzhen and finished in November 2020 in Shenzhen.
- Operation Flow
- One single machine can be connected with other units infinitely, which is suitable for various scenes such as outing, outdoor work, etc. It is equipped with a high-definition LCD screen and supports solar charging, mains charging, and vehicle charging. Sinusoidal current output is able to protect electrical appliances effectively.
It adopts six safety protections and intelligent temperature control to dissipate heat, coupled with the independent switch of output and rubber dust plug, which is safer and more convenient to use. - Research
- Research Goal: To double the power supply’s capacity and power through superposition, thus to solve the difficulty of power supply for outdoor high-power electrical appliances.
Research Direction: Unlimited parallel connection of multiple units
Market Research: Data from online research and professional research company
Social Influence: The new design concept will be promoted to the entire industry through our global sales network and long-term cooperation with GP, Samsung, China Unicom, JVC, Intel, etc.. - Inspiration
- Its design is inspired by the superposition of building blocks. The machine is designed based on the following current situations: the low-power power supply is not enough when using high-power electrical appliances, while the high-power power supply is too bulky when using low-power appliances. Therefore, an outdoor power supply that can double the capacity and power, is needed to meet different demands.
