Using a combination of wind turbines, solar power, and bicycle generators we have been powering things in fields since 2006!
We have bicycle generators for hire which can power various appliances (sound, lights & more!) ‘on demand’ – when you pedal it turns on, when you stop peddling it turns off. Or we can provide a battery trailer which provide a constant energy source. These batteries can be charged by wind, solar, or pedals!
The information below outlines the technical specifications of our battery trailer which is available for hire. Contact us to discuss it!
Many events use generators for even the smallest power needs. Not only do these burn fossil fuels but they are noisy and unsightly.
Our power trailer is totally silent and can run off its own pre solar-charged batteries as well as with a combination of wind, solar or bicycle power depending on how much energy is needed and what event organisers want to have on display.
The trailer uses a pure sine wave UPS inverter which gives a more stable voltage than standard generators can – protecting your equipment. The trailer’s maximum output is 1.95kVA.

The trailer has a battery capacity of 6kWh. This means that with no input it can power a 1.5kW load for 4 hours, or a 600W load for 10 hours, or 60W load for 100 hours etc. With wind, solar or bicycle inputs these times greatly increase (assuming there’s some wind, sun or pedallers!)
We also have smaller battery systems available suitable for such applications as running stand alone lights or charging phones.

We often run live arts events in unusual public realm spaces so we need to work with partners who can provide reliable infrastructure and activities in different environments. V3 provided not only this but also a positive and solution focused attitude. Working with the V3 team was hassle free, great value and enjoyable – I’d book them again in a trice! – Rosie Freeman, Director, The Brick Box
