Hybrid power systems and methods

A monitoring network for monitoring a plurality of mobile power modules positioned around a golf course to provide power to cameras and radar, the monitoring network comprising:

• a monitoring station off-site of the golf course configured to wirelessly communicate with the plurality of power modules to receive or access monitored data with respect to the power modules, remotely control one or more operations of the power modules, and receive notifications, wherein each power module comprises:
• a case having an interior space for housing a battery,
• a plurality of output ports for supplying electrical current to devices electrically coupled to the ports,
• one or more input ports for receiving a supply of electrical current to charge the battery, and
• a control system configured to monitor statuses and operating conditions of the power module and comprising a controller to execute operations of the power module;
• a communication port configured for electronic communication with a communication network;
• a remote interface accessible via the communication network and configured to interface the monitoring station with the control system;
• and
• a solar array configured to couple to one of the one or more input ports.

A method of providing remote power on a golf course during a golf tournament, the method comprising:

• providing a plurality of power modules for positioning around the golf course;
• wirelessly communicating with a control system of each of the power modules to receive or access monitored data relating to the operation of the respective power modules;
• remotely controlling one or more power input or power supply operations of at least one of the power modules via communication with the control system of the at least one of the power modules, wherein the power module comprises:
• a case having an interior space for housing a battery,
• a plurality of output ports for supplying electrical current to devices electrically coupled to the ports,
• one or more input ports for receiving a supply of electrical current to charge the battery,
• a control system configured to monitor statuses and operating conditions of the power module and comprising a controller to execute operations of the power module;
• a communication port configured for electronic communication with a communication network;
• a remote interface accessible via the communication network and configured to interface the with the control system;
• and
• a solar array configured to couple to one of the one or more input ports.
