Solar Platforms for Hire

Our solar platforms add renewable generation to a site's power setup without needing a permanent installation. They mount to a standard 20ft container or cabin, or can be deployed directly on the ground, and connect straight into an existing BESS or hybrid generator system rather than replace it. Each platform arrives prewired to a DC isolator, so it's ready to go as soon as it lands on site. Up to 12 platforms can be linked together as your site's power needs grow, with the maximum depending on the BESS you're pairing it with. The payoff shows up in less generator runtime, lower fuel bills, and a quieter site day to day. We deliver across Australia on both short and long-term hire terms. Have a look through the range below, or call us to talk through how solar could fit into your current setup.

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.

Do I need a solar platform if I already have a generator or BESS?

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.

What's the easiest way to add a solar platform to my hire?

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.

Is a solar platform suitable for a remote or off-grid site?

Yes. It's built for exactly that kind of setup, wherever running mains power isn't practical.

How much can solar and hybrid power reduce fuel use and noise?

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%.

Can I hire a solar platform short-term, or is it mainly for long projects?

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.
