Empowering maintenance with renewable energy solutions

MACA’s Maintenance team at a project in the Pilbara region of Western Australia recently installed a solar kit consisting of five panels and a battery system to power one of the site’s 20-foot containers, which is used to charge battery-powered maintenance tools.

With the batteries charged by solar energy during the day, continuous power could be provided through the night before being replenished the following day.
This simple installation now provides 24/7 renewable power to the container and investigations to utilise this system at other sites are underway. The container is also transportable allowing the installation to be utilised at multiple projects as needed.
