Construction, demolition, infrastructure and industrial sites often need reliable lighting and equipment in locations where mains electricity is unavailable, impractical or costly to install.
ODS provides off-grid site solutions designed for temporary, remote and changing working environments, helping businesses reduce their reliance on diesel generators and temporary electrical infrastructure.
Our current range focuses on solar-powered site lighting, providing practical alternatives for illuminating working areas, compounds, access routes, pedestrian areas and temporary sites without the need for a permanent power connection.
Temporary site lighting has traditionally relied heavily on diesel-powered tower lights, generators or extensive temporary cabling.
Solar-powered lighting provides another option.
By combining solar generation with battery storage and efficient LED technology, off-grid lighting systems can operate independently from mains electricity while providing reliable illumination where it is needed.
For suitable sites, this can help reduce:
Because many of the systems are portable, they can also be repositioned as work progresses and site layouts change.
Different areas of a site require different types and levels of illumination.
The ODS range includes solar lighting solutions for large working areas, temporary compounds, access routes, pedestrian areas and locations where conventional lighting infrastructure would be difficult or inefficient to install.
The ProLight Solar Tower Light is designed for applications requiring powerful illumination across larger areas.
Its trailer-mounted design allows the unit to be positioned around a site as requirements change, while solar generation and battery storage remove the need for a continuously operating diesel generator.
Typical applications include:

The ProRXM Solar Tower Light provides another high-output off-grid lighting option for temporary and changing work environments.
Designed to deliver effective site illumination without conventional diesel power, it is particularly suited to projects where reducing fuel consumption, noise and site emissions is a priority.
Typical applications include:

Not every site needs a lighting tower.
The ProZone Smart Solar Festoon Lighting system provides flexible lighting across walkways, access routes and other areas where distributed illumination is more appropriate.
Smart controls and motion-responsive operation can help ensure lighting is available when required while limiting unnecessary energy consumption.
Typical applications include:

The ProTemp Solar Column Light provides a compact off-grid lighting solution for locations where a full lighting tower would be unnecessary or impractical.
Its smaller footprint makes it suitable for temporary pedestrian areas, compounds, access points and other locations where reliable localised lighting is required.
Typical applications include:

Solar-powered lighting reduces or removes the need to continuously run diesel engines simply to provide temporary illumination.
For projects operating over extended periods, reducing fuel use can make a meaningful difference to overall operating costs.
Reducing reliance on diesel-powered equipment can help organisations lower operational emissions and support wider carbon-reduction and sustainability objectives.
Without a continuously running diesel engine, solar lighting can significantly reduce operational noise.
This can be particularly beneficial on construction and demolition projects located near homes, businesses or other noise-sensitive environments.
Off-grid systems can reduce the requirement for temporary power supplies, generators and long runs of electrical cabling.
That allows lighting to be deployed in areas where supplying conventional power would otherwise be difficult or expensive.
Construction and demolition sites rarely remain static.
As working areas, access routes and compounds move, portable off-grid lighting can be repositioned to reflect the changing requirements of the project.
Removing conventional diesel engines also removes many of the routine servicing and maintenance requirements associated with traditional temporary lighting towers.
Construction projects often require lighting long before permanent electrical infrastructure is available.
Solar site lighting can provide illumination for working areas, access routes, compounds and temporary facilities without waiting for a permanent electrical connection.
Portable systems can also move with the project as different areas become active.
Demolition sites present particularly challenging temporary lighting requirements because working zones can change quickly as structures are removed and site layouts evolve.
Portable solar-powered lighting allows equipment to be repositioned as required while helping reduce diesel use, operational noise and temporary cabling.
ODS already works extensively with demolition contractors through our environmental control solutions, allowing us to consider lighting alongside wider site requirements such as dust suppression and environmental monitoring.
Remote areas of quarries and industrial sites may be difficult or expensive to connect to permanent electrical infrastructure.
Off-grid solar lighting can provide an alternative for access routes, temporary working zones, compounds, storage areas and other operational locations.
Systems can be selected according to the area requiring illumination, expected operating hours and specific site conditions.
Environmental performance on a site extends beyond controlling dust, odour and emissions.
How temporary equipment is powered can also affect fuel consumption, noise, carbon emissions and operating costs.
By combining dust suppression, environmental monitoring and off-grid site technologies, ODS can help businesses take a broader approach to efficient and lower-impact site operations.
Our team can help identify which lighting solution is best suited to your working environment rather than simply supplying the same unit for every application.
The right lighting system depends on more than the size of the site.
Factors such as working hours, required illumination, site layout, pedestrian routes, surrounding properties and how frequently equipment needs to be moved can all influence the most suitable solution.
ODS can help assess your requirements and recommend the most appropriate solar-powered lighting system for your project.
