Solar Hire mobile solar lighting towers

Solar Hire’s range of mobile solar lighting towers uses SunPower E20 solar panels to draw energy and can be operated manually or set to automatically power up and shut down on a daily basis.

The lights are powered by a 24 V 750 Ah battery system, and also feature a 240 V 34 A onboard battery charger, with each fitting producing 5000 effective lumens - equivalent to a 250 W metal halide floodlight.

Fully charged by the system’s solar panels, the 24 V batteries can run the lights for 70-plus h without input for the solar panels. Solar Hire’s latest-design towers are significantly smaller than previous models - at 2.5 by 1.8 m - to enable single-operator operation. All are built to mine spec requirements, as well as being MDG15-compliant, in line with state government guidelines for mobile and transportable equipment on mine sites.

The mast can be set at any working height and the lights have 360° pan/tilt adjustment, all controlled through a handheld controller.
