LIFOS wins the Environmental Initiative Award

The Lifos Fort solar PV battery storage system won the Plantworx Environment Initiative Award with a product that is set to help the construction industry transition to a diesel-free and low-carbon future.

The award-winning product is set to significantly reduce the cost, noise and emissions of using a diesel generator on site, demonstrating a new era in sustainable long-life solar PV and battery storage.

The Fort is the most advanced all-in-one solar battery storage system. With three models: 12kWh, 23kWh and 35kWh all providing an 11kVA output and supplied with 3.4kW of solar panels. The Telford-based company has developed a range of lithium-based solar PV battery storage systems to deliver long lasting power in lightweight packages.

Packed with 18 solar panels that neatly fit inside when transporting, the Fort delivers 3.4kW of green power complete with a kick stand or optional container roof mounting kit. Ideal for use on any construction sites, even in remote locations or fixed onto the roof of a welfare unit.

Adrian Williams, Managing Director says:

“The Environmental Initiative Award is a recognition of the serious carbon reduction benefits of the Lifos Fort and the unique design of the all-in-one solar battery package. Winning the award is a tremendous boost to the engineers, designers and everyone involved in the development of the product.”

In addition to the Lifos Fort Battery, the team have recently come up with an imaginative new accessory for the construction tool and plant industry – a Solar Top-up Kit, designed to stop those flat battery mishaps.

The unique and very compact system is designed to help prevent generator starter batteries from going flat by always having that residual charge available. Available as a simple small low-cost retrofit for all types of plant and equipment with a starter battery.

The Solar Top-up Kit is designed in a range of sizes to work with all sorts of plant and equipment. It has a premium flexi solar panel and everything to connect to the battery.

The Lifos Solar Top-up Kit can be fitted to a range of product groups including diesel generators, compressors, dust suppressors and any plant that uses a starter battery.

It’s a proven solution to a typical tool or plant-hire problem on customer sites. An easy hassle-free solution to expensive engineer callouts and costly replacement batteries. Now available and in stock direct form Lifos.
