The full benefits and flexibility without the responsibility of ownership.

Long term rental is not simply short term rental extended. Long term rental is an alternative to ownership, the ability to have plant and equipment in your business, without borrowings or capital expenditure or any of the other normal cost responsibilities of ownership. It enables you to employ your capital within your business and obtain a greater return on your capital in your core business, than you pay for our capital and expertise, in managing your plant and equipment.

Instead of individually outsourcing every aspect of owning lighting plant, it is more cost effective to outsource every aspect of lighting plant ownership to the one organisation.

Equipment management is what we do!

RENTAL gives the user:

• Total Control - Without Repair Costs
• New Equipment - Without Capital Commitment
• Total Flexibility - At a Fixed Cost

We breakdown the total cost of ownership of operating a 25kVA diesel generator and compare the savings with hybrid solar powered generator. The cost savings and CO2 emission reductions are compelling.

See attached cost saving analysis.

Hybrid AC Power v Diesel 2.0 $200p_day

The average diesel engine consumes 20l per day or 7,300l per year.

This equates to an annual cost  AUD$7,300

The average small diesel engine produces 45kg CO2 per day or 16.7 Tonnes per year.

This is based on a 12 hour operation

The operation is very quick, simple and efficient - one person can have the light operational in 10 minutes

 We supply an instrution manual or we can arrange a 15 minute training session.

Alternatively our customers can access our online computer based training (work in progress)

Cost savings are in excess of 30% when compared with diesel. Cost savings benefits include:

Zero Diesel

No operator involvement - set and forget

No servicing required

Minimal maintenance - cleaning solar panels once a month

Australia is one of the sunniest places in the world and provides a great opportunity to generate free electricity from solar energy .

Photovoltaic panels (AKA solar panels) use direct or indirect sunlight to generate electricity, although they are most efficient in direct sunlight. Solar panels will continue to produce electricity even when the sunlight is reflected, or partially or blocked by clouds. Rainfall actually helps to keep solar panels operating efficiently by washing away any dust or dirt.

Solar panels continue to produce electricity in cloudy weather. However they don’t produce as much electricity as they would on sunny days, however they still produce 25% of what they produce on a sunny day, or 10% when it’s very cloudy.

The following elements determine how much solar energy can be produced:

• Capacity and number of solar panels
• The direction and angle of solar panels relative to the sun
• The amount of shading
• The number of hours of daylight
• The intensity of sunlight
• Cloudy days v sunny days

Our solar systems and batteries are designed for Western Australian and Northern Territory conditions and have proven to be extremely reliable in all weather conditions.
