If you have a building, civil or construction project to complete and need to hire industrial lighting for security or general lighting applications, here are some of the benefits our solar lighting towers provide over diesel alternatives.

Solar lighting towers have no ongoing running costs

When your hire one of our solar lighting towers, once installed you have no ongoing running costs, as these are powered 100 per cent by solar energy. If you consider that a 12,000 watt diesel lighting tower uses 2.5 litres of diesel an hour while running at a load of 64%, if it’s being used around the clock this can add up to as much as 60 litres a day. Not only is this expensive, it also means that the light tower will need to be refueled regularly, which is inconvenient especially if it’s located in a remote area.

Diesel lighting towers require more maintenance than solar

As diesel lighting towers are powered by a diesel motor, these need to undergo regular maintenance for reliable performance, such as having oil and filter changes. Unlike diesel lighting towers, our solar lighting towers require minimal or no maintenance, so there’s less chance of these breaking down onsite.

Solar lighting towers are quiet and have no chemical emissions

Solar lighting towers are a more eco friendly alternative to diesel, as these have no chemical emissions due to being solar powered. They are also quieter to run, which is important when these are installed in areas that have noise restrictions in place.

We’ve highlighted some of the many benefits our solar lighting towers offer over their diesel counterparts.
