By installing a hybrid power solution and/or an Energy Management System (EMS) to help regulate and control power usage on your site you can reduce your fuel consumption by up to 80%
A generator will work as your primary power source, powering site while demands are high (typically during the day) and by installing a battery storage unit (BSU) alongside the generator you create a hybrid power solution. The generator will charge the battery during the day, then as demand drops (usually once site is closed for the day) the battery takes over, providing silent, fuel free emission free power over night. And an energy management system can help by turning off devices when not in use (our team will programme it to suit your needs). On larger sites with 6 or more welfare units an EMS creates a perfect environment for a battery to operate by supressing the peak load and automatically turning off unnecessary devices at night so the load automatically switches to the BSU providing silent, fuel free, emission free power.
Our experts will always consult with you to determine the best solution for your site.

Sunbelt Rentals can offer various solutions to help to reduce the noise of your generator installation.
We can offer something as basic as sound acoustic barrier to help shield the noise omitted by the generator, or containerised generators which include integrated fuel tanks, distribution boards as well providing safe and secure storage and reduced noise pollution, through to battery storage units which alongside a traditional generator can provide long periods of totally silent power delivery.
Our experts will always consult with you to determine the best solution for your site.

Sunbelt Rentals can provide synchronised generator sets in a load-on-demand configuration that will provide constant, reliable and efficient power. This scalable, fully automated solution utilises smaller kVA generators to power the same peak demand as one larger unit configured so that when the site’s demand falls, the surplus generators will turn off automatically.
There are a number of reasons why load-on-demand solutions are beneficial – more fuel efficient and saves money, more resilience and flexible servicing for site never without power, reduction of emissions, reduced noise pollution and less risk of underloading and breakdowns.
Our experts will always consult with you to determine the best solution for your site.
Our Power Generation Case Studies
A Clean Energy Solution for Story Contracting
Story Contracting is delivering a bridge replacement project as part of the Ravenscraig development program of works for Network Rail in Scotland.
Location One
Temporary power solutions are a necessary requirement for many industries when a connection to the national grid isn’t available. With multiple filming locations sited in remote areas and many sites without access to mains electricity, Film & TV is one such industry, and is therefore heavily reliant on temporary power solutions such as generators.
Penketh & Whittle Flood Risk Management Scheme
As part of the countries ongoing flood alleviation plans, the Environment Agency have committed to and invested in over 1000 schemes across the UK, to be delivered throughout 2021-2022. These schemes will better protect homes and businesses from flooding.
