Did you know that this year’s Airlie Beach Race Week Festival Village was powered entirely by the sun?
Airlie Beach Race Week’s Festival Village was fuelled entirely by Mobile Power Trailers’ solar panels.
Founder of Mobile Power Trailers Adam Janczyk said people were excited to see the power trailers driving the Festival Village ever since they announced the new innovation.
“Last time when we were here, we announced that we would go off-grid and sustainable, everyone was very excited about it!” explained Adam.
“I took it a step further when I came up here, I said no generators.
“I will run it all off the solar and the batteries and it’s been fantastic.”
Even on a cloudy day the batteries charged up and Adam was ready for a night filled with music, lights and activities.
Adam initially started Mobile Power Trailers through his other business called Pure Nation Solar. In total bringing 75 kilowatts worth of battery and 30 kilowatts worth of solar.
They started powering tiny homes with a device that could supply the house with power, whilst being up to 50 metres away from the home itself.
As the power trailers generated a life of their own, Adam spilt the two companies and now Mobile Power Trailers are powering big events.
Renewable and sustainable power is important to Adam, he has three children of his own and questions what world he is leaving behind for them. Adam, knowing he could make a difference, took the leap and has not looked back.
Although supplying renewable and sustainable power solutions is important to Adam, his passion lies with being able to provide if a disaster occurred.
“Imagine if a cyclone came through and we had these in the yard?” stated Adam.
“Mobile Power Trailers can give you Wi Fi and telecommunication. You can send that message to your mum and let her know you are safe.
“SAS helicopters fly blind but with power if you are in necessary need, you can send a text message and say, this is where I am. Come and get me.”
To prove that these trailers are capable of aiding people during natural disasters Adam has to prove their worth first. Next year Adam has plans to take the entire Whitsunday Sailing Club off-grid and run entirely off his Mobile Power Trailers.
