Think Hire Powers George Leslie Innovation Day. Sustainably.
100% Renewable, Zero Generator Use
When George Leslie set out to host their Innovation Day, they wanted the event to reflect their sustainability ambitions, powered entirely by clean energy. Traditionally, temporary events rely on diesel generators, but George Leslie chose a different path by partnering with Think Hire.
The Solution
Our team deployed three fully charged Solartainer Versatile solar hybrid generators and an X45 Hybrid Battery Generator System. From laptops and AV to catering and robotic demolition demonstrations, every watt of energy used on the day came from solar and battery power, with zero generator runtime.
All systems were monitored live through Think Energy Panorama, giving both real-time visibility of energy generation and consumption.

"Working with Think Hire showed that it’s completely possible to run a complex event on clean energy alone. We wanted Innovation Day to reflect our ambition for the construction industry to be forward-thinking and environmentally responsible."
— Gavin Pick, Sustainability and Innovation Manager, George Leslie
"The occasion provided an excellent platform to demonstrate the tangible benefits of integrating Think Hire’s hybrid power systems, which can significantly enhance project performance. We were pleased to establish several valuable new connections who have since adopted our systems across Scotland."
— Stephen McEwan, Country Manager, Scotland, Think Hire
Learning for the Future
This collaboration demonstrated that even temporary, high-demand events can run fully on sustainable energy without compromising reliability. The data gathered through Think Energy Panorama confirmed zero fuel use and consistent system performance under variable loads, even in cloudy conditions.
By replacing traditional generators with renewable hybrid power systems, Think Hire and George Leslie proved that clean, off-grid energy is a viable reality for the construction industry today.
