Aggreko has launched a 1MW PV solar power rental offer for weak or off-grid applications.
The service can be contracted on a rental basis, with no upfront CAPEX required, according to Aggreko.
Deployment time is three to four months and the system has low O&M requirements, and Aggrek said it is well suited for use in harsh and remote environments.
Contract durations start at five years in order to offer flexibility should business operations or market conditions change.
The new system has been designed to integrate with the company’s battery storage products and thermal generators.
All three assets are managed by intelligent software using one control system.
Aggreko said the result is a high-performance hybrid system that operates more efficiently, uses significantly less fuel in combination with backup generators, and has a much lower CO2 footprint.
Aggreko Microgrid and Storage Solutions managing director Karim Wazni said: “Aggreko Solar Power is designed for ease of deployment both in physical terms, thanks to relatively quick off-grid implementation, as well as financial, with no requirement of significant upfront costs. “
“Our goal is to offer the widest and most flexible range of mobile and modular solutions, including off-grid renewable energy systems such as this one, as a plug-and-play service for short or long-term needs.”
