Askam Civil Engineering
Background
As a leading provider of off-grid solar lighting and power solutions, we formed a successful partnership with Askam, a prominent player in the plant hire and civil engineering industry. Initially, Askam hired our ProPower Solar Hybrid Generator through a partner. Impressed with the performance and support received, Askam purchased a ProPower unit. In 2023, Askam expanded their fleet by acquiring an additional two ProPower units.
Challenge
Askam faced several challenges:
- Navigating Solar Technology: As an entrant into the world of solar power, understanding and integrating solar technology into their operations posed a potential challenge.
- Financial Considerations: While recognising the potential savings, there might have been initial concerns about the financial investment required for transitioning to solar power.
- Ensuring Ongoing Support: The need for ongoing support and assistance, especially for a company entering a new domain like solar power, was crucial.

Laura TudhopePlant Manager
After the initial concern of suggesting to run a diesel generator 24/7 for the project duration, Magnox hired the Prolectric ProPower Solar Hybrid Generator. The evident demonstration of the effectiveness of commercially available solar hybrid equipment has been the driving force behind this investigation. This provided a great example of sustainable solutions meeting the needs of projects on site and demonstrates the applicability of using solar hybrid systems.

Since the start of the 52-week hire period in July, the ProPower Solar Hybrid Generator engine only ran for around 16% of the time. This substantial reduction in generator usage translated to massive fuel savings and significantly lowered overall emissions on the site. The overall site was powered by solar and battery alone, showcasing the effectiveness of Prolectric’s products in providing sustainable and reliable energy solutions.
