Off Grid Energy deliver smart, efficient energy storage solutions where the grid needs help or doesn’t reach.
We have been delivering energy storage solutions to an impressive list of customers, for temporary and permanent applications, since 2011. Our expertise ranges from hybrid power generation to save fuel and reduce emissions, to grid power re-enforcement solutions.
Power Electrics is a single source solution for diesel generator hire, sales, service and parts.
They operate out of five locations across the country, including the UK’s largest purpose built generator depot, with a fleet of over 1200 generators and 25 HGVs.
Battery Storage Units can reduce your emissions and energy costs.
At Sunbelt Rentals we offer the UK’s largest fleet of Battery Storage Units (BSUs) that can provide long periods of emission and noise free power. They are frequently combined with a generator to
create a ‘hybrid power solution’ that will typically reduce generator run time by 40-80% as the BSU powers the site, only needing the generator to turn on when power demands are high and/or the BSU needs charging.
This in turn reduces fuel consumption, costs and emissions.
Our team specialise in solutions for the Film and TV sector throughout the UK and Ireland.
Get Set Hire offers an extensive range of behind-camera equipment for hire in the Film and TV industry, all via low-carbon delivery. Within our Power Equipment category, we provide several portable and quiet battery solutions suitable for any shoot or event.
Weighing just 22kg, the Instagrid ONE max battery pack is our most user-friendly power solution yet. With a 2.1kWh capacity and a 3.6kW maximum output. These lightweight batteries are ideal for situations where power needs are decentralised. Swap one large generator for multiple Instagrid ONE units placed at each desired power point.
