Replace 150+ kVa diesel with a cleaner option
There’s a green alternative to diesel: Solarators®. Our award-winning innovation combines solar, battery and (bio) diesel to give you peace of mind knowing there’s power 24/7, 365 days a year. Whether it’s deployed in a remote area or in adverse weather conditions, the Solarator Compact 150+ kVa is proven to work. This model comes with bigger batteries compared to our Fold-out range and can be attached with rapidly deployable Solarator® Arrays if more solar energy is required.
Our energy range products have been deployed worldwide including urban and regional Australia, Spain, the Pacific Islands, the Bahamas, and Djibouti. Our clients have access to live and historical data that can help maximise performance against diesel throughout the project lifespan. We recognise the value of data in strategic decision-making: that's why each Solarator® unit is connected to a powerful, custom reporting dashboard where clients at different levels of the organisation can generate relevant and custom sustainability reports in minutes.

Solarator® deployed in challenging WA conditions to replace 250kVa diesel
McConnell Dowell was awarded the marine structures design and construction contract for BCI Minerals’ Mardie Salt & Potash Project in Western Australia.
The Mardie Salt Project represents a rare, sustainable opportunity to develop a large-scale, solar evaporation operation on the Pilbara Coast. Once complete, capacity of the facility is estimated to be 5.35 million tonnes per annum of high purity salt and 140,000 tonnes per annum of sulphate of potash, over an operating life of at least 60 years.
Powering a large, temporary workers camp, the Solarator® Compact 150+ kVa contributes to the project’s sustainability goals by reducing projected CO2 emissions from a traditional 250 kVa diesel generator through the use of the Solarators® hybrid diesel and battery system with solar boost, saving an estimated 200,000kgs of CO2 emissions and $134,900 total operating costs annually.
Special modifications were made to the Solarator® Compact 150+ kVa to take into account the high ambient heat, fine red dust and cyclone potential of the site.
