Clean, reliable temporary off-grid power for film & TV production

Quiet, clean, production-ready energy for location shoots, unit bases and broadcast setups – power cameras, lighting, video village, OB kit and crew facilities without generator noise, fumes or unstable power.

  • Silent power when it matters

    Battery-led operation ideal for filming interviews, dialogue, night shoots and more.

  • Stable, grid-quality electricity

    Clean, reliable power for sensitive production equipment and demanding loads.

  • Lower emissions, fewer disruptions

    Hybrid systems reduce generator runtime to support sustainability goals.

Your power supply shouldn’t dictate your filming schedule – reliable off-grid power for broadcast, film and TV production

Whether you’re running night shoots under noise curfews, powering a unit base or operating in remote or sensitive locations, generator noise, fumes and fuel logistics introduce risk no production welcomes. EasyGrid from Energy Solutions delivers battery-led hybrid power systems for broadcast, film and TV production that keeps sets quiet, crews productive and schedules intact – without  compromising reliability or sustainability expectations.

How EasyGrid supports film & TV production power supply needs in practice

EasyGrid is configured to manage how power is generated, stored and delivered across the day, rather than simply supplying electricity continuously. In practical terms, that means:

No noise icon
Battery-led power delivery during sound-critical periods

The system prioritises battery output to supply loads silently during filming windows, while generator charging is scheduled outside takes or during low-impact periods.

Generator efficiency at high loads
Generator operation at efficient load levels only

When the generator does run, it is controlled to operate at higher, more efficient loads, avoiding long periods of low-load idling that waste fuel and increase noise.

Energy load management icon
Intelligent load management as demands fluctuate

Integrated power electronics maintain clean, grid-quality output as loads ramp up or down, protecting sensitive cameras, lighting control, comms and broadcast equipment.

System architecture icon
Single system architecture across multiple production zones

One EasyGrid setup can support location power, unit base facilities and crew infrastructure without requiring separate systems or manual switching.

Scalable system icon
Scalability across different production footprints

From compact location setups to full unit bases, EasyGrid scales with your production needs.

This approach allows EasyGrid to function as managed production infrastructure, reducing on-site disruption.

What our off-grid hybrid power systems are – in practical terms

Our broadcast, film & TV power solutions are built around EasyGrid, a battery-led hybrid off-grid power system designed for real-world site conditions.

Instead of running a generator continuously (often at inefficient low loads), EasyGrid:

  • Supplies power from batteries first, delivering silent operation.
  • Starts the generator only when required, and at efficient load levels.
  • Reduces fuel use, refuelling frequency and site disruption.
  • Gives clear visibility into system behaviour, allowing crews to control how and when power is used so energy can be aligned with filming schedules rather than dictating them.

The result is predictable, grid-quality power that supports the way Film & TV crews actually work, not a compromise solution.

“Energy Solutions has been first class… the advice from the sales team means that we can order [components] in confidence, knowing that once implemented, the off-grid solution would work out of the box. On the rare occasions we have needed technical backup, it has been easy to obtain, or Energy Solutions have resolved configuration changes remotely.”

Where EasyGrid works best for broadcast, film & TV

  • On-location filming

    Power cameras, lighting, monitors, grip and charging stations without generator noise contaminating the shot.

  • Unit bases and crew facilities

    Run production offices, make-up trailers, wardrobe, catering and welfare cabins with predictable, controllable power.

  • Eco-sensitive or high-scrutiny locations

    Reduce local impact and demonstrate responsible power use in protected environments or public spaces.

  • Remote and multi-day shoots

    Operate confidently where grid access is limited or unavailable, with hybrid systems designed for extended runtime.

  • Live broadcast and outdoor media

    Support OB units, streaming equipment, comms and temporary broadcast infrastructure with stable off-grid energy.

What size hybrid power system do we need for our production?

One of the biggest risks productions face is underspecifying power – or overspending on capacity that isn’t needed.

We help you size the system based on how you actually work, scaling from a hand-carried unit through to 500kVA capacity for:

  • Small location setups – cameras, comms, charging, monitors.
  • Lighting-heavy shoots – LED panels, control gear, support loads
  • Unit bases – trailers, catering, production offices, welfare.
  • OB & broadcast – stable power for comms, monitoring and transmission.

Tell us what you’re powering, what must remain silent and when and we’ll specify a setup that fits your specific shoot needs.

Technology built for demanding production environments

EasyGrid systems can integrate:

  • Lithium (LiFePO₄) battery storage for silent, stable energy.
  • Hybrid generator integration for long runtime without constant generator use.
  • High-capacity inverters to handle demanding production loads.
  • Portable units (including EasyGrid MOVE) for smaller, mobile setups.
  • Remote monitoring for performance visibility and reassurance.

For larger shoots, containerised hybrid systems deliver multi-day power with minimal noise and significantly reduced fuel consumption – ideal for unit bases and longer productions.

A UK-based off grid energy partner productions can rely on

Production schedules are unforgiving. Power failures cost time, money and confidence.

Energy Solutions designs and builds off-grid and hybrid power systems in the UK, with more than 30 years of engineering expertise proven across demanding environments. We help productions specify the right system from the outset – reducing risk, avoiding overspecification and supporting quieter, cleaner filming.

If you’re looking for a silent generator alternative for film production, or a hybrid system that delivers reliability and sustainability, we’ll help you get it right.
