CLM Construction
Background
Currall Lewis & Martin Construction (CLM) was selected as the main contractor by Sustrans to undertake the conversion of an old train line in Coventry into a walking and cycling pathway. With a focus on reducing carbon output, CLM expressed interest in exploring Prolectric’s sustainable energy solutions, specifically the ProPower Solar Hybrid Generator and ProLight Solar Tower Lights.
Challenge
Initially, CLM had concerns about the capability of the ProPower Solar Hybrid Generator to power cabins on the site. The challenge was to address these concerns and showcase the effectiveness of Prolectric’s products in a similar site scenario. CLM also expressed a commitment to reducing carbon emissions, making the selection of sustainable and efficient solutions crucial.
The Solution
Prolectric worked closely with CLM to address their concerns and provide effective solutions:
- Extensive Discussions and Presentations: Prolectric engaged in extensive discussions and presentations to address CLM’s concerns about the ProPower’s capability to power cabins. Telemetry reports from similar site scenarios were provided to demonstrate the reliability and efficiency of our system.
- Product Supply: Following the discussions and demonstrations, Prolectric supplied one ProPower Solar Hybrid Generator and two ProLight Solar Tower Lights, meeting CLM’s requirements for the Coventry project.
The Result
The collaboration between Prolectric and CLM resulted in significant positive outcomes:
- Massive Fuel and Emission Savings: Since the start of the 52-week hire period in July, the ProPower Solar Hybrid Generator 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.
- Solar and Battery-Powered 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.

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.

Prolectric have been an outstanding supplier in recent months. From point-of-sale to product support, there is nothing I can fault. Their products save our customers a fortune and reduce carbon emissions across sites. A key thing about Prolectric is you’re not left on your own – support is truly unmatched. With special thanks to Nick and Mitch for all their assistance, we now run a small fleet since buying the first unit.
