Power Your Party

If you're seeking a more sustainable solution to power your next festival, live music event, outdoor film screening, sporting extravaganza, or neighborhood block party, look no further than solar power. Solar technology has emerged as a highly viable and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional generators. By harnessing the energy of the sun, solar-powered batteries provide a safer, more sustainable, and remarkably reliable source of power - especially if you’re off-grid. Regardless of the scale of your gathering, whether it's an intimate affair or an epic multi-day exhibition, solar power has got you covered. Prepare to be inspired as we explore some exciting solar options that not only reduce your carbon footprint but also ensure your celebration remains powered by the sun throughout the entire season. *Please note that this is not a sponsored post, it is a collection of resources we have found to be helpful to ourselves and our partners.*

SimpliPhi Power has scalable energy storage for any need. Their portable energy storage solutions power a wide range of mobile businesses and recreational activities. The self-contained battery-powered generators are ideal for first responders, outdoor enthusiasts, anyone looking to be prepared in an emergency as well as the film and broadcast industry. The Little Genny is great for powering cell phones, tablets, laptops, fans, lights and small appliances.  At 1,240 Watt-hours, the Big Genny has 4X capacity as the Little Genny for bigger projects or longer power needs (or when the sun is not available to recharge).  

New Use Energy specializes in mobile, rapidly deployable solar generators for commercial users. Their products range from the 2560 Watt-hour “SunCase”, to the “SunWing”  a trailer that is quick to deploy, with a self-regenerating system that can be ready to go in minutes.

Looking for a more tailored approach or have multiple locations? The team at Overdrive can help.

​Maybe you just need a wire-free light or power source? Unite to Light has you covered! Our Luke Lights and Chandler Chargers are lightweight, low profile and long lasting. We’ve used them to light DJ booths, centerpieces, tables, art, signs, and (of course) our phones! Having mobile light and power for any event or outdoor activity can make the difference between an epic event and a panic for power. 

Solar power battery banks are used to power the table lights because power is difficult to access at this location.
