Solar for Temporary Structures and Events

Portable solar systems for events, construction sites, storage containers, and portable buildings. Clean, quiet power that goes where you need it and comes away when you're done

Customised solutions for temporary structures

Temporary sites still need power, and the default option is usually a diesel generator: noisy, dirty and expensive to run. Solar power can change that. A well-designed portable system generates clean, quiet power for temporary structures, with the flexibility to install and remove quickly, as needed. 

We design and install solar solutions for temporary structures across Oxfordshire and the Cotswolds.

Key benefits

Why solar for temporary structures

Lower running costs

Once installed, the fuel is free. Especially valuable on long-running events or projects

Flexible and portable

Systems can be quickly installed, dismantled and moved to the next site

Off-grid capable

No grid connection required, making it ideal for remote or short-term locations

Demonstrable sustainability

A clear step on carbon reduction targets

Temporary events

Where this works

Events and festivals

Power stages, catering, facilities and lighting without the fumes, fuel deliveries or noise of generators

Better orientation and pitch

Angle and orient the panels for optimal generation

Storage containers and portable buildings

Add solar to shipping containers, cabins and modular buildings used for storage, offices or accommodation

Terrapins and modular classrooms

Reduce running costs and carbon on temporary school and community buildings

Remote and off-grid sites

Where grid connection is impractical or the site is only in use for a limited period

What we install alongside

Portable solar systems for temporary structures are typically paired with battery storage so power is available around the clock, not just when the sun is up. We can also integrate EV charging for site vehicles.
