Solar power and solar generator sets are a fantastic tool for powering your home, your business, to power devices, or to use when on camping trips or when working in remote locations without access to the national grid. Sometimes you might require a backup energy source in an emergency situation or be reliant on solar power on a site all day round. When this is the case, solar generators provide a key function to keep things moving whilst reducing energy bills and reliance on fossil fuels. 

Deciding whether to hire or buy generator sets is another matter though and will come down to the individual requirements and budgets of a business. 

Why you should hire a solar generator

There are a few good reasons why you should think about hiring solar powered generators for your home or business. Whether this is for permanent use in a commercial or residential setting, for a short-term camping trip, or for specific locations and site projects where there isn’t access to the grid. 

Lower your costs–the biggest benefit to hiring solar generators is that it provides you with a free source of renewable energy even after the sun goes down. The idea is to store any excess solar energy that is created during the day and use this at night or at other times when you need to. This lowers your dependency on fossil fuels and the high cost associated with traditional energy providers. As energy bills are only increasing, finding an alternative that you have control over is of great help to many businesses, lowering costs and ensuring that each project is taken on its own merits and budgets.

Clean energy creation – it is important that we all look at new ways to consume energy as the continued use of fossil fuels has left the planet in a precarious position. Solar generators are a way of using a renewable energy source and extending your chance to use it once the sun goes down. It does lower bills, of course, but it also reduces your own personal carbon footprint, which in turn helps to lower the level of pollutants in the air. It might seem like a small change to make but utilising clean energy through a solar powered generator will help everyone in the long-term.

Lower noise pollution – you might have the accurate experience of using traditional generators to power sites and finding that they are incredibly loud. If you are working on a remote site or a 24/7 site that is in a residential area, or you are on a camping trip and using a generator to power devices, you’ll need light and power at night when being quiet is a necessity. Solar generators are much quieter than older generator models, ensuring that you can continue your overnight work without disturbing the peace. 

Choosing to work with a hire company that can provide you with the solar power generators that you need for your business will help you to run a more effective, smooth operation. Understanding your business and when and where different projects require the use of solar generator sets and the use of battery storage, will help to save costs, reduce carbon emissions, and utilise the very latest technology along the way. Finding that supplier to build a long-term relationship with will help to increase the productivity and effectiveness of your overall business.
