No it cannot. What you are linking is a video of using multiple shipping-container generators to form a single power plant. If you explore a bit you will see the brochure(0) for those container based diesel generators and it shows that each one of them produces from .6 to 1.7 MW depending on engine choice. So you will need around 12-30 of those depending on engine choice(1). You will also need fuel tanks, pipes, fire suppression equipment, electrical equipment access roads etc. Also you will need to space everything apart for fire safety, to prevent overheating and to prevent those diesels from breathing in each other's exhaust. So by the time you are done I would not be surprised if you require about as much space as the solar plant. And of course you will have a bunch diesel exhaust and a lot of noise, so even if you do get a smaller footprint, the land you save will be of very limited use. Solar plants have much better footprint than it seems, because they do not really impact the land around them. Most other types of power plants will have very significant impact on the land around them and therefore they effectively take up much more space than it seems.
