A film production in the Californian desert required reliable power for more than 10 hours per day across a six-month remote shoot. Diesel generators were projected to cost $55,000 in fuel and logistics, while producing noise, emissions and fumes that interfere with on-set audio quality and cast/crew comfort.

This scenario demonstrates how PHNXX's modular off-grid solar and battery systems can support high-energy-demand temporary events such as film shoots, remote productions and location-based operations.

PHNXX Solution:

• 70 kW solar PV, 215 kWh battery storage, provided through a leased mobile system
  
• Built from 2 x PHNXX S35B107 units (35 kw solar + 107.5 kWh battery each) to supply different areas of the set, such as filming locations, trailers and dining facilities
  
• System can be relocated within half a day, offering maximum flexibility across moving film sets.
  
• Rental cost: $38,500 for six months (around 30% lower than equivalent diesel generator costs)
  

Impact:

• Cost savings: ~$16,500 over six month
  
• Carbon Abatement: 150 tonnes CO₂ per year
  
• Noise elimination: No generator hum, reducing need for post-production sound correction.
• Health Benefits: Zero diesel fumes, improving on-set comfort and air quality
  
• Sustainability credentials: Supports green production certification and environmental reporting
