Dec 2018 - Aug 2019
Tiger Power’s is young company with a bright vision. Bringing clean energy to remote locations using a “product” approach rather than a “project” approach. Tiger Power’s core products are “building blocks”, easy to install (plug-and-play, container-based systems) and easily combined with each other as well as with 3rd party storage or production devices. The company has innovation at its core and has developed two signature products. The Sunfold, which is a folding solar PV array with inbuilt PowerPack that can be shipped as a CSC certified container. The Storager is a Hydrogen Storage unit designed to work standalone or with a Sunfold as a long term storage unit. My role is to support the commercial team through proposals and tenders, working between the technical team and the commercial team to size and optimise systems to match load requirements, develop the logistical needs of the company and projects while implementing the projects on the ground.
