Prolectric the off-grid renewable power and lighting specialist, has introduced ProCharge - a groundbreaking new Three Phase Solar Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), boasting an impressive onboard and deployable 5,280W solar panel array – with official launch at Plantworx 2025’s new Site Sustainability Showcase from 23-25 September, Newark Showground. 

 

Delivered in association with the CPA (Construction Plant-hire Association), Prolectric will headline sponsor the Site Sustainability Showcase at Plantworx 2025, bringing together solar, hydrogen, electric, battery-powered, and hybrid technologies in one collaborative space. From solar-powered welfare to hydrogen hybrids and electric NRMM – this inspirational new zone at the show will offer a joined-up look at how today’s cleaner site solutions are being used together to reduce emissions and improve efficiency.

 

On site powering the show, Prolectric’s game changing new ProCharge BESS will demonstrate its unique set of product characteristics, combining 12 440W solar panels with 120kWh battery energy storage. The product has been carefully introduced following the initial prototype which was tested and adapted in collaboration with some of the UK’s largest contractors.

 

During the trial at the ‘Kier A417 Missing Link Project’, the ProCharge prototype, which has only 8 panels, saved Kier Highways over £32,500 in just 5 months with a projected annual saving of over £69,000. Moving forward, the unit will annually save 150,000 kgs of CO2e from being emitted into the atmosphere.

 

Offering three times the output power and 3.5 times the battery capacity of Prolectric’s 

single-phase system, the 120kWh BESS is designed for high-demand applications requiring up to 45kVA, and integrates seamlessly with diesel generators, commonly 100kVA.

 

The ProCharge 3-phase model can be used to create a hybrid setup for powering site compounds and to charge machines like electric telehandlers, small EVs, battery-powered all-terrain vehicles, mini diggers and dumpers.

 

The skid-mounted unit is designed to work with standard UK 3-phase distribution boards and can help operators reduce carbon emissions and cut fuel costs. Noise is also decreased, making it suitable for urban environments and night-time projects in residential areas. Operations can be monitored and controlled remotely via an integrated microcontroller and GPS (global positioning system).

 

Serving a wide range of industries from construction, housebuilding, MOD and rail to major infrastructure, as a solar-first business, Prolectric is focussed on setting new engineering standards in solar lighting, power technology and advanced automation software. Since launching the company’s first solar lighting tower, Prolectric has saved its customers over 28 million kg of CO₂ and reduced diesel usage by more than 10 million litres, which represents a customer saving of more than £10million.
