Remote, large-scale industries like mining sites, roadworks, agriculture hubs, and regional communities often face the challenge of powering significant operations without access to a reliable electricity grid. In these situations, diesel generators have traditionally been the go-to solution. But solar-powered microgrids are changing that, offering cleaner, quieter, and more cost-effective alternatives that can generate energy at a multi-megawatt scale.
Our Solarator® Mobile Solar Farm Arrays and Solarator® Microgrid provide fully-integrated, modular, and rapidly deployable power systems which can be linked together to meet high energy demands — we’re talking 200kVa, 300kVa, 500kVa and up to MvA multiples. These systems are purpose-built for off-grid applications and designed to scale alongside solar, battery, and hybrid configurations. When scaled with larger solar arrays and energy storage systems, microgrids like these can meet the needs of major infrastructure, including remote construction sites, large farms, or community clusters.
-
Engineered for flexibility: Unlike permanent and costly solar infrastructure, modular systems can be rapidly deployed, relocated using minimal labour, or scaled up to meet changing power needs—ideal for temporary sites or evolving projects.
-
Fuel cost savings: Transporting diesel to remote areas is costly and subject to market fluctuations. Solar energy, once installed, is free to produce.
-
Lower maintenance: Solar and battery systems require less servicing than diesel engines, saving time and reducing breakdown risk.
-
Cleaner operations: Diesel exhaust impacts air quality and contributes to climate emissions. Solar-powered systems produce zero onsite emissions.
-
Energy independence: Onsite solar microgrids reduce reliance on fuel convoys or distant power networks, making operations more resilient.
In short, solar microgrids are no longer just for small communities—they’re powering the future of big, off-grid industries.
