I put a solar panel on my roof to keep my 12 batt topped up.

You need 500 lux to splice.  Hard to get that with 12 volt lights.
Your splicer and otdr will run down in the middle of a splice and you will want 
a generator.
You will have night work and you will need some higher intensity lights outside 
to see inside the handhole etc.
Unless you plan to have a vehicle running to power your 12 volt system you will 
want a generator.
Sometimes you have to drop the trailer and drive to get someone while someone 
stays behind splicing etc etc etc...

I pushed for a generator.  The techs resisted and ultimately we ended up 
without a generator. 

The lights were easier on 12vdc.  Propane works so well for heat.  AC is at a 
loss.

Why do you say we'll eventually want a generator?

  Make sure you have a carbon monoxide detector inside.  
  I think you will find that you will eventually want a generator.

  Doing 12vdc in ours.

  We use propane for heat and haven't really figured out the air conditioning.  
The whole side opens up like a food truck, though.  Ohio treats us OK.

    Some have ground rods and wires but mine don’t and I have never seen anyone 
do it.  The generator is floating with respect to earth so grounding is not 
going to improve safety from that aspect.

      Does anyone know? Do splice trailers get grounded for reasons of 
generator and/or other reasons while splicing?

        It is double walled, with mineral blankets.  
        But nothing suspended.  Just trying to not interrupt sleep in 
residential neighborhoods during night cuts.  
        Work in progress.  We will build another one for our other splice 
trailer once we work out the kinks.

        Like to be 60 dB at 10 feet.

        Neat project.  Have you considered making it double walled with some 
sort of anti-vibration material or suspension between the inner and outer 
layers?

          And experimental noise control box for the generator.  Getting 10 dB 
reduction does far.
