In this work, a power plant layout for an unmanned airship was designed and tested. The layout is designed to provide power to the target load with a rated power of not more than 500 W, peak power of not more than 1000 W and daily energy consumption of not more than 2600 W · h (of which in the dark - no more than 1300 W · h) with a daily total solar radiation not less than 5.51 kW · h / m2 (daily average for July in the Moscow region is given). Testing the layout, which consists in checking the characteristics of individual elements of the layout in ground-based conditions, has shown the feasibility of using airships in the service sectors.
