Eco-friendly events and festivals through solar-powered cooling and energy

Case Studies

Overview:

Off The Grid is an annual environmentally conscious festival celebrating music, art, culture, and eco-lifestyle. In 2017, it was Australia’s only solar-powered festival.

Key challenge:

The entire festival operations must be self-sufficient and zero-waste, relying only on renewable sources of energy and battery banks.

Solarator® solution:

Black Stump Technologies, through our Solarator® Chill, supported the event's ambitious vision of mounting a fully circular event. Using our innovative and sustainable cooling solutions, the event organisers were poised to save up to $57,000 in fuel costs and more than 63,000 kgs of carbon emissions.

Project wins:

  • 100% solar-powered cold storage with generous space for food, drinks, and ice
  • Worked reliably throughout 3-day event
  • Cost-effective rental unit
