Service you trust. Equipment you need.
A large hydroelectric dam construction project in British Columbia required reliable, continuous lighting to support round-the-clock operations. With a vast site footprint and long project duration, the contractor needed a lighting solution that could perform consistently while controlling fuel consumption, labor requirements, and operating costs.
Given the scale of the project, even small inefficiencies in lighting operations could result in significant cost increases over time.

REIC Rentals deployed an initial fleet of 38 Solar Hybrid Light Towers to the project site. This case study captures performance and cost data collected across all 38 units over a 12-month operating cycle.
Each unit was equipped with hybrid solar technology and monitored through a DSE remote monitoring system, allowing for accurate tracking of engine runtime, fuel usage, and overall performance throughout the year.
Over the 12-month period, the Solar Hybrid Light Towers averaged just 4.7 hours of engine runtime per unit, demonstrating the effectiveness of the solar component in reducing fuel reliance.
Monthly cost savings varied based on labor requirements for operating conventional light towers. Even after rental costs, the project consistently achieved significant monthly savings with REIC Rentals’ Solar Hybrid Light Towers.
Lower fuel consumption, reduced refueling frequency, and fewer maintenance requirements all contributed to these savings.
The deployment confirmed that REIC Rentals Solar Hybrid Light Towers deliver significant financial and operational benefits for long-term infrastructure projects. With the ability to operate for up to 35 days between refueling, fewer oil changes, and real-time remote monitoring via a GPS-enabled interface, the towers reduced maintenance demands and improved uptime.
By combining solar energy with a DC generator, REIC Rentals provided a dependable, environmentally responsible lighting solution well suited for continuous-use applications, such as hydro construction, mining, oil and gas, and other large-scale infrastructure projects.
