Key Features & Benefits
Our containerised power systems, based on proven Australian designs, deliver reliable, clean energy. NZ-built units will offer these key features for commercial and remote applications.
Cost Efficiency
More economical to rent than traditional diesel generators, with significant savings for medium to long-term projects.
Fuel Savings
Reduce diesel consumption by up to 98%, dramatically cutting operational costs and minimizing refueling logistics.
High Solar Capacity
Features a large solar array for significant on-site energy generation, maximizing renewable power utilisation and efficiency.
Reduced Maintenance
Fewer moving parts mean less downtime, lower service costs, and higher reliability than diesel-only generators.
Reliable 24/7 Power
Integrated solar, battery storage, and backup generation delivers uninterrupted power in any weather conditions.
Smart Energy Management
Remote monitoring and automated optimization reduce operational overhead and maximize efficiency.
Containerised Power System Technology
The YHI-1, an example from our Australian rental fleet, is a remotely monitored, self-contained hybrid generator. This technology, which we are bringing to New Zealand with local manufacturing, provides 24/7 power through rechargeable lithium-ion battery storage combined with solar generation and integrated back-up generation.
Our NZ-built rental units will be easily transportable for rapid deployment for emergency power or any situation requiring off-grid power such as events, construction sites or field operations. A simple electrical interface will support connection to any building or electrical appliance, enabling users to realize the benefits of reliable, clean power.

Case Study: YHI-1 Containerised System Deployment
38% less cost
Same amount of power, but much lower operating costs than renting a conventional diesel generator. This translates to significant savings over the project duration.
98% less generator run hours
4582 less hours of generator operation, thanks to the integrated solar array, charger, battery and inverter systems. This dramatically reduces maintenance requirements and extends generator life.
98% less fuel
Only used during inclement weather, lower generator run time yields lower fuel / refueling costs. This significantly reduces operational expenses and maintenance requirements.
30.21 tons CO2 reduction
A direct benefit of lower engine run times and fuel consumption. This significant carbon footprint reduction helps meet sustainability goals and environmental requirements.
Noise abatement
A reduced noise footprint with only less than 40dB (quiet office or refrigerator). This makes it ideal for noise-sensitive environments and improves working conditions.
100% uptime
Remotely monitored by SOBOS with client cloud app login, ensuring reliability is achieved. Continuous monitoring prevents downtime and enables proactive maintenance.
Experience the Difference On-Site
Real-world benefits that transform your worksite experience
Renewable Daytime Hours
Integrated solar panels generate renewable energy during peak sun hours, perfectly matching high-demand periods like air conditioner use on sunny days.
Ideal for Civil Construction
Perfectly aligned with civil sites where sunny working hours synergize with energy needs for maximum efficiency.
Natural Shade Canopy
Solar panels create a shaded gathering area for workers during breaks, improving morale and transforming downtime.
Silent, Clean Operation
Enjoy cost-effective power that runs silently with minimal emissions, creating a better working environment.
