Rather than having to source separate components and have a bespoke system designed, our EasyGrid series offers a pre-configured, self-contained unit built from durable, high quality components; fully tested and ready to install. The EasyGrid enclosures are made from powder coated steel; allowing them to be installed outside or in an out building depending on requirements. Suitable for installation worldwide the EasyGrid range addresses off grid power needs and can be installed by a competent local electrician.

Our EasyGrid hybrid units connect to your solar array, they also have a connection for a generator. The EasyGrid utilises energy from the solar array to charge the batteries, where energy will be stored until needed. The array then tops up the batteries as the power is used. The system can also support additional loads to those listed when connected to a generator. In addition, if a generator is connected and the batteries are depleted and no solar power is available, the system will send a start signal to the generator to provide power and charge the batteries.

Sizing your solar array correctly is vital in getting the most effective renewable energy into your EasyGrid unit. On the datasheets you will find full details on the options available to you and how you can connect solar panels to optimise your power for peak loads.

We are able to supply the necessary solar panel kit, expansion kits, cables and connectors for your project. Please ask for prices and we can include this with your quotation.

All EasyGrid systems have an upgrade option that allows owners to integrate a wind turbine as part of their renewable power input either at time of order or retrospectively. Whilst solar arrays are a good source of renewable power, wind turbines can also deliver valuable additional energy.

Solar power can produce great results when the sun is shining but that may be only for a few hours a day, particularly in the UK. A wind turbine, whilst it may not be as powerful, can be producing power at any point during the course of 24 hours.

By integrating this additional renewable source, owners can further reduce generator run time and running costs.

The site is a considerable distance from any services, and there was still no affordable opportunity to get a mains connection, but with a borehole for water and a klargester for waste they are able to run a self sufficient system - getting the power right was the main issue.

After full discussions with the team, a plug and play EasyGrid system was recommended as it offered all the flexibility and capacity they were after. To complete the hybrid system they also included a new Himoinsa generator, and to gain full benefit from solar energy, a 4kW roof mounted solar array was installed on the barn where the whole system is sited.

Oxford equestrian centre - EasyGrid 5000Li Hybrid Power Unit Case Study

A multinational social media company setting up its European data centre in Ireland had a requirement for efficient 24/7 power during the construction phase. The plan was to run a generator to supply power for a mains water meter and the contractor was keen to keep running costs for this necessity to a minimum. They contacted Energy Solutions who looked at the system and recommended the EasyGrid 3000 to run alongside the generator. This allowed the firm to run the loads for the majority of time from the EasyGrid battery bank, with the generator only having to run to recharge the unit. From the online monitoring portal, we can see that since installation, the generator has only ran for 2% of the time – a significant saving in fuel costs with the added benefit of silent power.

With a potential value in the first year of £1.4 million, the agreement is part of the Estonian operators’ new initiative to offer stand-alone power supplies for new build, remote homes and businesses.

Development of our EasyGrid and SiteGrid products has bought single and three phase power capacity to areas and sites where connection to the grid is either unavailable or cost prohibitive. The supply agreement with Elektrilevi is an exciting step forward with the Estonian company being the first network operator to seize the potential of off grid hybrid power supply as part of their distribution profile.

Our hybrid power systems offer the ideal solution for clients that are looking to immediately reduce their emissions, noise levels and costs on site. SiteGrid and EasyGrid units utilise existing generator power, and renewables if available, storing energy in a sophisticated battery bank which then delivers silent, emission-free power when site loads are low. The generator only then has to run for peak loads or when the batteries need recharging.

This high specification welfare cabin was designed and manufactured for a leading multi-national technology company by RS French Ltd in Faversham, Kent. The client had specified that these new welfare cabins needed to be diesel-free in order to meet their sustainability targets; meaning a traditional generator was off the cards and a suitable hybrid solution was needed to provide power for the kitchen, office, toilets and drying rooms.

RS French approached Energy Solutions to discuss the power options they could provide and an EasyGrid 5000 Lithium system with solar and wind was specified.  The trial container was then built to effectively incorporate the elements of the system, with the solar panels being mounted to the roof and the wind turbine on a pole. Within the container the EasyGrid and generator were housed in their own compartment.

The system was put into test in the autumn and the results on site have been outstanding. The solar array and wind turbine delivered the majority of the power needed to run the amenities with the LPG backup generator only needing to run 11% of the time since installation. In the spring and summertime this will be reduced even further.

Even in the UK the grid does not reach everywhere – and getting it extended to reach your dream property can be a surprisingly expensive proposition. There are even more homes internationally that struggle to get a constant power source.
