Plantworx Award nomination
Contents

Prolectric has been named a finalist in the Plantworx 2025 Innovation Awards – with our advanced ProCharge Solar Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) shortlisted in the Alternative Power Innovation category.

This recognition places Prolectric at the forefront of the drive toward clean, off-grid energy solutions for construction, infrastructure, and industrial sectors.

Powering the Future – Without Diesel

The ProCharge Solar BESS is a high-capacity, fully solar-integrated energy solution engineered to replace diesel generators across large-scale construction and infrastructure projects. Built with true off-grid autonomy, ProCharge combines 120kWh of storage capacity, high-yield PV panels, and intelligent energy management into a single skid-mounted unit.

Unlike conventional battery systems, ProCharge doesn’t rely solely on grid or generator input. Its integrated solar array enables self-charging from sunlight, drastically reducing the need for refuelling and allowing sites to operate with zero fuel, zero noise, and zero emissions.

Why ProCharge Stands Out

The Plantworx judges recognised ProCharge for its ability to deliver reliable, scalable, and cost-effective clean energy, even in the most demanding environments.

Key features include:

  • High-capacity 120kWh battery with advanced lithium-ion technology
  • Integrated solar charging using premium PV panels (+30% output vs standard)
  • 3-phase output compatible with standard 400V distribution boards
  • Paralleling capability with diesel gensets up to 100kVA to support hybrid sites
  • Remote monitoring and control via our integrated telematics platform
  • No engine – completely silent running, perfect for night works, urban zones and sensitive areas
  • Skid-mounted, HIAB/forklift-friendly, easy to deploy and reposition

These capabilities make ProCharge ideal for powering cabins, compounds, welfare units, and temporary electrics on large construction projects and off-grid locations.

Proven Performance on the A417 Project with Kier

ProCharge is already in active use across some of the UK’s largest infrastructure schemes. On the Kier A417 “Missing Link” project for National Highways, Prolectric deployed a full suite of solar lighting and off-grid power solutions.

By replacing traditional 24/7 diesel generators with ProCharge and hybrid solar units, Kier achieved:

  • Over £200/day in fuel savings per ProCharge unit
  • 800,000 kg of CO₂ saved annually
  • Significant reduction in site noise
  • Lower generator maintenance and refuelling demands
  • Full remote visibility of energy use across the site

Working with Prolectric has been a game-changer… their solar BESS helped us meet our sustainability targets while improving working conditions and saving significant costs.

Raising the Standard for Sustainable Construction

The shortlisting in the Plantworx 2025 Innovation Awards is more than a milestone – it’s validation that clean, smart power solutions like ProCharge are not only viable, but commercially and operationally superior to legacy diesel systems.

We’re proud to lead the transition toward net zero construction sites – one solar-powered, emission-free project at a time.
