Off-Grid Power Specialists in The Scottish Highlands
We are Powerguard; one of the leading renewable technology companies in the UK and Europe. We specialise in designing and constructing highly advanced and durable off-grid power solutions for our clients in the Scottish Highlands and beyond.
Our approach to installing off-grid systems in the remote parts of the Scottish Highlands is centred around a commitment to creating renewable power solutions and systems which can offer pragmatic and economic power supplies that are both kinder to the environment and more cost-effective than typical power provisions.
Installing Off Grid Generator and Power Systems in The Scottish Highlands
Our innovative power generation options have been constructed to ensure that any user in the Scottish Highlands, or indeed throughout the UK, can benefit from a completely self-sufficient power supply, in areas where the National Grid doesn’t reach.
Our experience and standing in the industry have given us a reputation and a deep understanding of the advancing technologies necessary to offer maximum energy and fuel management output in a remote location.
There are over 450,000 people living in the Highlands and the surrounding islands, many of whom have no access to the National Grid due to the costs of erecting pylons and digging to install the necessary underground provisions – even those with limited access are often restricted as to the energy they can use and can be paying up to £400 more per year than those in towns and cities.
Because of this many homes and businesses in the area are already reliant on battery and generator systems to produce their energy, due to their status as the most sparsely populated area in the UK. However, many of these are outdated systems which are no longer able to keep up with the rigours and demands of modern life – which is where we come in.
We’re able to work closely with you to create a completely bespoke 24/7 energy production system that meets the requirements of your property – whether that be a business premises in Inverness or residential home in Fort William.
How Does Off-Grid Power Work?
There’s an increasing recognition that the freedom and self-sufficiency provided by off-grid power can often outweigh the cost and potential issues that can sometimes face properties relying on National Grid power.
We often see those with properties connected to the mains electricity, still frequently opting for the safety, productivity and expense-saving advantages that come with producing your own power.
No matter whether you’re looking for a domestic or commercial off-grid power solution in the Scottish Highlands, rest assured that we’re equally equipped to provide our expertise and integrated technologies for your home or your business.
During our years in operation, we’ve been asked to formulate integrated off-grid solutions in many challenging circumstances.
A few years ago, we were asked to provide an off-grid power system to an incredibly remote farm in the Scottish Highlands. Their old generator and battery system, while still in working order, needed to be replaced by something that could increase efficiency and productivity – both for the sake of something more environmentally friendly and from an economic perspective.
They came to us looking for something more progressive, since moving to the National Grid would require extensive renovation work and an investment of up to £40,000.
