Construction sites
Construction site power without a diesel generator
On most site compounds the generator runs all day to power office containers, lighting, power tools and charging points. The real load is a fraction of the installed rating, and the genset burns fuel even at idle.
Typical load in this field:45 kWh/day
The situation today
- Fuel hauled to site by hand, with losses and theft
- Noise that generates complaints in residential areas
- Maintenance every 250 hours and unplanned stoppages
- A temporary grid connection takes months and costs as much as a mobile unit
With a mobile unit
- No fuel deliveries for the base load
- Silent operation, including during quiet hours
- Moves with the work front, the same day
- Monthly energy and CO₂ report for the project’s environmental reporting
Why temporary connections and diesel slow you down
A temporary grid connection is a project in itself: request to the operator, technical approval, a fee and a lead time that rarely matches the works schedule. On a site that moves, you pay that every time. Diesel feels faster, but it burns fuel every day, needs refuelling on location, requires periodic maintenance and leaves smoke and noise exactly where people work.
What a solar generator powers on site
Site setup and cabins, general and security lighting, power tools, battery charging, the command station, video surveillance and charging points for phones and radios. For large loads or short peaks we size the unit for the weakest month and, if needed, keep a backup generator. Typical construction site consumption is around 45 kWh per day, though it varies from one setup to another.

Frequently asked questions
How soon do I have power on site?
The unit arrives deployed and operational. On trailers, commissioning takes under an hour, with operator training on the spot. You wait for no connection approval.
Does it cover heavy power tools?
Yes, the range has 230 V outputs and large models add three-phase. Tell us your equipment and we confirm the right model.
What about winter or rainy days?
We size the unit for the month with minimum production, and the battery covers the gaps. If the works run through winter, we tell you upfront what stays on a backup generator.
Can I rent it only for the duration of the site?
Yes. For projects of a few months, renting is almost always more cost-effective than buying.
