Having spent many years in the outdoor event business, I can tell you that there is nothing as complicated about working outside as the issue of electrical power.
When you are producing concerts and other outdoor events you find yourself either using a noisy and smoky construction generator, a too small extension cord run from the nearest building, or waiting forever for an electrician to install a temporary (and very expensive)service panel. None are a good solution.
Kleege Industries, a long time player in mobile staging, has created a new and potentially revolutionary solution to this problem with their Helios 250 mobile stage.
This 32’x24′ mobile stage and load bearing roof is equipped with a 5000 watt solar array that generates enough power to operate a full size concert sound system.
It was tested extensively on last year’s Country Throwdown Tour with Willie Nelson, and according to a Kleege press release, it performed flawlessly. It is also equipped with a backup biodiesel generator, but the genset was not needed a single time.
The Helios 250 is a collaboration with Sustainable Waves, a leader in the field of alternative energies. They adapted their solar array technology to Kleege’s mobile stage to create a staging solution that works for a show anywhere the sun shines. Onboard battery storage even allows the show to continue after dark.
