Cut the cost of power on set by a third.
Quiet on set. And on the fuel bill.
Near-silent battery power for film, TV, live broadcast and events.
The problem
Generators cost more than the fuel
Once hire, delivery and servicing are added, diesel power on set costs around £1.97 per kWh.
Off-grid Film, TV, broadcast and live events
Over-specified
98% of production generators are larger than the load they serve.
Noise
Generators ruin sound takes and limit night shoots and locations.
Cost
Fuel at low load, hire, delivery and service all add up fast.
Sustainability
Broadcasters and studios now track the carbon of every production.
How it works
Silent power, all day
MAX powers the set from the battery. The generator, if you bring one, runs only when it's needed.
Charge
Overnight from the grid, or on the go from a DC fast charger.
Power
Run the set, unit base and catering near-silently all day.
Top up
Only if needed, with the generator at its most efficient load.

FAQ
Questions buyers ask
How quiet is MAX on set?
59dB with zero local emissions, so it can sit close to the set, unit base and catering.
How long will MAX run a production?
It depends on the load. OnBio runs 9 to 12 hours of continuous power, and a generator tops it up only if needed.
Is it cheaper than a generator?
On a typical production, diesel power costs around £1.97/kWh once hire, delivery and service are added, against £1.26/kWh for a pair of MAX300s on lease with electricity.
