Who We Are
Portable Power Technology (PPT) believe that no one should be left in the dark, even if you’re off-grid, off-line, or off on your next adventure.
As power solution specialists, we curate and provide reliable power systems for all sorts of applications. Service vehicles, caravans, boats, even completely off-grid locations like holiday homes and glamping sites. No matter the power requirement or wherever you are, you can trust that we’ll be here to keep you powered.
What We Offer
Our expert knowledge and high-quality products can bring to life the glamping experience you want to offer. Glamping can be anywhere from a step up from camping, to an all singing, all dancing hotel room in a field. Wherever your site falls on this sliding scale, we’ll help you achieve it off-grid.
We are a solutions company first and foremost, so we want to make sure that any system we provide is perfect for our customers’ needs. We work with each site to specify an ideal power system based on their unique application, factoring in: space limitations, weight restrictions, budget, site location, recharging options, length of glamping guests stay and, most importantly, the appliances that need power.
These details are vital in communicating what type of experience you want to offer. Once we understand your goals and ideas, we can then provide the power system to make them a reality.
How it Works
We’ll ask questions about your application and then look at the best options available.
If your site only needs lighting and phone charging for example, then we can offer you a simple, all-in-one powerpack. Should you wish to offer a few more services than just basic lighting, then we have a wide range of powerpack sizes to scale up to the appliances you want to run.
If you need even more power, then we can separate out all elements of an off-grid system (batteries, inverter, charger) to create a flexible system that fits your needs.
Knowing the wattages of your appliances helps to gauge how much energy they will consume and this is essential in building the right power system for your glamping accommodation.
How do I know what system is right for me?
All our systems follow the same principle: find out how much power you need and create a system to deliver just that. Along the way we’ll also share tips and tricks to make your off-grid accommodation as energy conscious as possible – this can include buying the lowest power consuming appliances possible, or thinking about different types of power sources.
We’ll work with you to plan your system and use our expertise to make sure you have a solution that’s efficient and easy to use.
Will solar work for me?
Solar can be added to everything we offer and can be a great addition to an off-grid glamping site. That being said, relying solely on solar in the UK can be very difficult and, in reality, should be thought of more as a supplement to your system rather than something you depend on.
All our all-in-one powerpacks can have solar added directly to them and this can be used to extend the run times, before needing to hook up the powerpack to mains for a full recharge.
What are the potential running costs?
Every site will have its running costs (unless you plan on spending a small fortune on solar!) but we pride ourselves on the efficiency and competitiveness of our systems, ensuring that your energy costs are as low as possible.
