Make Your Construction Site Greener: Solar Power and Hybrid Technology Reduce CO₂

Green transformation on construction sites isn’t just about choosing new materials – it’s also about optimizing operations. A significant part of CO₂ emissions comes from temporary power supply, where traditional generators often run unnecessarily and consume large amounts of diesel. In week 2 of our hybrid focus, we highlight how the SITE SECURITY Hybrid Generator can make operations significantly greener, especially when combined with the solar module, which produces clean energy directly for the battery.

Solar Module: Clean Energy as a Supplement to the Battery

The Hybrid Generator already reduces diesel consumption by up to 85% thanks to the battery and intelligent management system. With the solar module, you can harness even more green energy and further increase your construction site’s sustainability:

• Solar panels generate free, emission-free electricity that is stored directly in the battery.

• The generator requires less frequent charging, reducing fuel consumption, noise, and operating hours.

• A larger share of energy now comes from the sun, significantly lowering CO₂ emissions.

• The solar module captures clean, renewable energy that would otherwise be wasted, replacing part of diesel-based production.

• An effective addition for projects with requirements for documented sustainability or stricter environmental goals.

• Long-term green energy production can contribute to operational savings as fuel demand decreases further.

  
  

The solar module acts as a natural extension of the hybrid solution, allowing the construction site to operate even more climate-friendly – without compromising the power supply.

Battery Pack: The Key to Greener Power on the Construction Site – Without Unnecessary Consumption

The large 50–100 kW battery is at the heart of the Hybrid Generator’s green operation and works closely with the solar module. It stores excess energy from both the generator and the solar panels, allowing the site to use clean electricity even when the sun isn’t shining and the generator isn’t running. This results in lower fuel consumption, fewer emissions, and reduced noise, while also increasing overall energy efficiency.

• The battery stores surplus energy from both the diesel generator and the solar panels, so electricity can be used at the most optimal time.

• The generator only starts when necessary, saving fuel and minimizing CO₂ emissions.

• The battery smooths out load fluctuations and ensures a stable electricity supply across the construction site.

• The solar module achieves maximum output, as the battery can store solar energy and make it available even when the sun isn’t shining.

  
  

The battery is therefore not just a technical buffer – it is an active part of the construction site’s green strategy. Together with the solar module, it enables significantly lower CO₂ emissions and more sustainable operations without compromising the stability and capacity of the power supply.

Customer Portal 2.0: Digital Management for Full Insight into Energy Use 

The Hybrid Generator is not only green technology – it also provides digital energy management. With Customer Portal 2.0 and the Focus Center, you get a clear overview of your generator’s operation:

• Live data on power consumption, diesel level, and battery status

• Notifications if the RCD trips or fuel level is low

• Overview of alarms and unit location

  
  

The Focus Center collects everything that requires your attention in one place, allowing you to act quickly and keep operations running smoothly. This integrated approach makes it easy to document CO₂ reductions and continuously optimize site energy use – without losing oversight or spending time on manual follow-up.

Mobility: Take the Green Solution with You

 The trailer version allows the Hybrid Generator to be moved between projects effortlessly. The mast can be raised and lowered, and the unit is automatically tracked in the app for full traceability. Multiple projects can achieve a lower CO₂ footprint without the need for new investments

Conclusion

 With the optional solar module, the Hybrid Generator becomes an even stronger solution for the green transformation of construction sites. It produces clean energy, significantly reduces diesel and CO₂ consumption, and provides full digital control over operations. Combined with a large built-in battery and mobility, it is an effective tool for both environmental goals and project optimization.
