What is a hybrid generator, and how does it work?
A hybrid generator is a sustainable power solution designed to deliver temporary power to remote sites.
These generators harness the energy from the sun to power construction, rail, event and agricultural sites.
Solar-powered generators run approximately 3 times less than the equivalent diesel generators, helping clients save money through reduced fuel usage, minimal maintenance needs. Learn more about them and why they matter here.
How to use solar generators in UK remote and temporary sites
Agriculture
Farms and rural operations face unreliable or no grid access on sites, but need high amounts of power to run water pumps, electric fencing, cold storage, lighting and other farming machinery.
Portable solar generators give agricultural sites flexible, reliable and cost-effective power to keep operations going no matter the time or weather conditions.
Construction
Building sites can be on unstable grids that can’t support the level of power needed to support heavy machinery, and as the site develops, the power needs shift, making traditional static generators unsuitable.
Solar-powered generators are portable, allowing them to move with the growth of the construction site, providing reliable power for prolonged periods. Explore how they benefit construction sites here.
Outdoor events
Festivals, film screenings, sporting events and markets are often hosted outside in fields with minimal access to mains power. Needing extensive lighting and power for sound systems, appliances and food vendors.
These temporary sites need robust power supply from solar hybrid generators and lighting towers to provide power and lighting at convenient and safe locations throughout the event.
What are the advantages of using solar generators at remote or temporary sites?
Each temporary site has different power needs, but they all benefit from solar-powered generators in the same way:
- Mobile – Our compact and portable solar generators are easily moved for shifting sites or hard-to-access locations
- Off-grid – They don’t need access to mains power to run the same (if not higher) level of power to sites than diesel generators
- Cost-effective – Solar-powered generators can cut fuel usage by up to 90% and improve generation performance by over 30%
- Eco-friendly – CO2 emissions are cut almost completely by switching to solar generators, reducing the environmental impact dramatically
- Durable – Hybrid generators are built to be dependable in any location or weather, so sites can have reliable power at all times
