Off Grid Power

Date: 12/08/22

In normal life, we take power for granted. We plug our tools and equipment in, and we assume there will be the ‘juice’ we need to make it work. Even working outside, on site, we assume that power will be available when we need it, either from traditional generators or more environmentally friendly renewable sources, such as solar power. However, when we venture off-grid, we need to be prepared for a different environment in more ways than one, with portable solutions than can step into the gap left by conventional power sources.

Off the beaten track

Of course, going ‘off grid’ often means more than just going beyond the reach of the traditional power grid. It can sometimes mean that you are beyond the reach of a lot of other services you’ve come to reply on too, from access roads to traditional telecommunications like mobile phone signals. This is where you need a truly portable power solution that can go anywhere you can go, and be deployed immediately, without the need for access infrastructure. This is where you need the SiteGrid X3 – the truly portable, lightweight hybrid battery operated generator system.

Beyond the grid

Weighing just 25kg, with a wheeled case that is designed for the roughest terrain, the SiteGrid X3 battery operated generator is in its element out in the elements, off the grid and in the wilds. Rugged and robust, it will travel with you to the most remote and testing of places, and still be ready to go the moment you get there. This makes it ideal for powering communications and emergency radios to update your base with the current situation. It can then be used to power CCTV cameras to help diagnose any problems, and to charge battery tools to help you fix them, making remote, off grid work more accessible, more practical and more cost effective than ever before.

Power when you need it

The SiteGrid X3 battery operated generator can be charged from the mains while you’re still on the grid, or via auxiliary vehicle power and renewable power once you’re in the field. It takes just six hours to fully charge the SiteGrid X3 and it can deliver an impressive 3.6kW at peak power from its L-ion smart battery technology. Just as importantly for sensitive locations, it can deliver this power silently, with zero noise emissions.

Remote control

Impressively, even when you are delivering power to remote, off grid locations, you can still enjoy the same high levels of efficient energy management as you would anywhere else. Think Hire’s state of the art equipment allows remote energy management in even the most remote locations, helping you to get the maximum performance from your portable battery operated generator. This can help cut CO2, NOx, SO2 and PM emission, not only saving you money, but also helping to protect the environment of remote locations.

Hire or buy

At Think Hire, we appreciate that most companies only need remote battery operated generators occasionally, in an emergency situation. This is where hiring really makes sense, giving you the very latest technology when you need it, without carrying the costs when you don’t. However, we also know that for some clients, emergencies in remote locations are part of everyday life, which is why we also offer the SiteGrid X3 battery operated generator for sale, with reassuring warranties and expert service back-up.

To find out which is the best way for your company to have access to the SiteGrid X3 battery operated generator, and all the benefits of remote power wherever and whenever you need it, call our friendly team today. They have vast experience in all kinds of power supply situations and will be able to advise you on the most practical, and the most cost-effective, solution for you.
