A greener way
of powering construction projects.
Embrace green power technologies and lead the industry towards a sustainable future.
Acting as a central ‘brain,’ the SkyBox manages incoming power from your solar, wind, or hydro generators. Balancing these power sources and storing excess energy in the internal batteries, SkyBox creates a reliable off-grid electricity supply.
How it works
01
Install
Depending on the project, Skybox ranges in size and may be installed onto an existing site shed or as a free- standing container
02
Connect renewables
Install your solar panels, wind turbine or hydro and plug these into the SkyBox (may require a licensed electrician).
03
Power your construction project
SkyBox will provide a seamless supply of power to your construction site. Calling on a generator to ‘top up’ the batteries when there is no sun
or renewables for extended periods (generator added extra).
04
Monitor
View your digital reports in real time to view how Green your construction project is. SkyBox will display power usage from renewable sources Vs non-renewable, such as the grid or a generator.
05
Move
Move the SkyBox to your next project.

Scalability, integration and manoeuvrability.
SkyBox is scalable—almost to infinity. With the wide range of SkyBox models available, there is one ideal for any project. From small-scale, residential to large, commercial construction sites where reliance on constant power flow is crucial.
SkyBox integrates seamlessly into any project; with a quick setup time (generally a few hours), the site can have usable power within the day. If additional power is required, simply connect another SkyBox with the assistance of any qualified electrician.
All components used within the SkyBox are tightly secured for safe transport and operation. The cabinet, made of highly durable and weatherproof material, is ready for the rigours of being shipped off and set up again later.
Monitoring and green reporting.
Monitor, manage and optimise your SkyBox remotely and catch potential issues early by setting alerts and alarms. With the most up-to-date Remote Monitoring solution on the planet, you are always in perfect control from anywhere in the world.
OPTIMISE AND SAVE
Adjust to real-life in real-time. Complete control.
Optimise energy harvest and usage with historical graphs and detailed analytical reports. Monitor the battery state of charge, power consumption, and power yield from the solar generator and mains in real-time. Insight and action based on real-time reporting allow easy calculations of electricity cost savings. SkyBox makes projects green while helping save on the cost of electricity bills and infrastructure required to bring power to site.
MANAGE
Install anywhere. Manage from everywhere.
Make parameter changes remotely through the online monitoring portal. Modify automation parameters for generator usage, selecting quiet periods to avoid starting the generator in
the middle of the night (for example). Revise any setting, follow up on alarms, perform diagnostic checks and resolve challenges wherever you are, remotely. Multiple systems can easily be monitored and managed from off-site.
ADVANCED GREEN REPORTING
Meet your green targets. Easily promote your commitment to environmental care.

Saving money whilst being green is possible.
WITH THE RIGHT TOOLS
Increase project profitability.
Grid connection and diesel costs are an expensive, crucial and previously unavoidable element of construction projects.
Now, even without a renewable energy supply, plug your generator directly into the SkyBox to reduce generator average run times by up to 90%.
SkyBox can automatically start and stop the generator during specific time windows to top up the batteries, keeping your sites supplied with power for a fraction of the cost of continually running a generator or bringing in a mains power supply.
Diesel use before and after SkyBox.
Infinite saving potential
No grid connection costs
Long-term energy production with minimal maintenance
Up to 90% diesel and fuel savings for energy supply
Improve cost control
Reduce generator and plant costs

The Challenge
The intention to relocate the site offices for a different project meant that our engineers had to come up with a creative design for solar installation to ensure that the solar panels remained intact on the roof while relocating along with the off-grid battery storage system.
The Solution
SkyBox is a fully off-grid certified plug- and-play battery storage system. All of the components required to run a property completely off the grid are securely pre-configured within an
IP54 weather-rated cabinet. SkyBox can connect multiple sources of power including solar, wind, hydro and generator. SkyBox is easily scalable in its battery capacity giving SkyBox owners the flexibility to meet higher energy needs in future. With an inlet to connect a generator on the side of the cabinet, the influence of bad weather is negated. This flexibility allowed Sky Energy to come up with a suitable off-grid solution for their site compound.
The achievement.
We installed a 16.2kwh of solar and a SkyBox with a 27kwh battery capacity to meet their energy demand. This equates to 360 kWh of renewable energy use each week. We also included a 24kva backup generator to allow for adverse weather conditions and high power spikes.
With this solution, MACA was able to achieve the prized tag of being one of the industry leaders in the sustainable energy sector. The system is now servicing up to 100 people at the site compound’s peak operation. On a similar project, MACA would run a generator 24 x 7. With the SkyBox, MACA has reduced generator usage to only 15%. This equates to fuel savings of over 24000 litres over 12 months and 18.3 tonnes of carbon dioxide emission savings over the life of the project, thereby reducing the impact on the environment significantly with pure clean energy.
