FAQs About Solar Platforms
Solar platforms offer a simple way to expand the renewable energy capacity of your temporary power setup without major infrastructure or installation requirements. Designed for fast deployment, they can be mounted to containers, cabins or positioned on the ground, making them a flexible option for construction sites, remote projects and hybrid power applications. When paired with a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) or hybrid generator, solar platforms help offset diesel consumption, support more efficient power generation and can be scaled as energy demands increase throughout a project.
Learn more about solar platforms in our FAQs below.
Not necessarily, but pairing one with your generator or BESS can meaningfully cut fuel use, running costs and noise, especially over a longer deployment. If you're only on site for a short job, a standalone generator or BESS may be enough on its own.
If you're already hiring a generator or BESS from us, just mention you'd like to add a solar platform to the same order and our team will confirm compatibility and availability for your site.
Yes. It's built for exactly that kind of setup, wherever running mains power isn't practical.
Solar adds another lever on top of what a BESS alone can do. Sites pairing a generator with a BESS typically see fuel use cut by up to 80%, emissions reduced by up to 50% compared to diesel-only generation, and noise dropped by up to 90%. In an 18-month deployment for Seymour Whyte, four mobile solar platforms paired with two hybrid BESS units delivered 75% of the site's energy from renewable solar, cut diesel consumption by 34,403 litres, and reduced generator runtime by 94%.
Both. We offer flexible short- and long-term hire, so it works whether you need it for a single project milestone or an extended deployment.
We deliver solar platforms across Australia. Contact our team to confirm availability and delivery timeframes for your site.
