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.
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.
Prolectric worked closely with CLM to address their concerns and provide effective solutions:
The collaboration between Prolectric and CLM resulted in significant positive outcomes:
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.
Gary QuintonAfter 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.
Jack ArmitageProlectric have been an outstanding supplier of ours in recent months, from point-of-sale to product support there is nothing I can fault them on. Their products are fantastic and save our customers a fortune financially, as well as reducing carbon emissions by substantial amounts across various site locations. A key thing about Prolectric, is you are not left on your own when you buy the product, which can be daunting to those trying to enter the world of solar power, the support is truly unmatched. With special thanks to Nick and Mitch for all their assistance since we bought the first unit, we now run a small fleet of them.
