Silent generator rental

A genset or power generator is the go-to solution for locations without a fixed grid connection, or as backup when the main connection fails. Most of the time, that means a diesel or petrol generator, and that comes with a well-known downside: noise. On construction sites near residential areas, or anywhere people are working or living close by, a droning generator quickly turns into a source of complaints. Volta Energy built the alternative: a silent generator, powered by solar.

Silent genset rental thanks to solar energy

Looking to rent a silent genset? At Volta Energy, we think a diesel or petrol generator is past its time. Beyond the noise, it emits CO₂ and NOx and leaves a trail of exhaust fumes behind it. Fossil fuel isn't cheap either. Our generators solve all of that at once, running primarily on solar power and battery storage instead.

During normal operation, a solar-powered Volta generator produces no emissions, no odour, and next to no noise, which is what earns it the name silent generator. For sustained high demand or extended low-sun periods, a clean backup generator running on HVO100 biofuel or methanol activates automatically and briefly, instead of the constant hum of a diesel engine running non-stop.

Silent generator hire for every situation

With a silent generator on site, you hear your own work again, not a diesel engine droning in the background. Whether you need one for a construction site, a telecom installation, a renewables project, a traffic control system, or a mobile camera security setup, we offer five models to choose from:

  • Volta 2 – Compact and quiet, ideal for lighter, continuous loads like camera security and traffic control systems.
  • Volta 6 – Perfect for camera security and traffic control systems, on a pallet chassis that's easy to reposition.
  • Volta 15 – A direct replacement for a conventional diesel generator, commonly used for site cabins and water pumps.
  • Volta 45 – A replacement for a more powerful diesel genset, often used for larger site cabin clusters and heavy equipment.
  • Volta 120 – Suited to large construction sites with heavy equipment, delivered by truck for large-scale projects.

What's included in a Silent Generator rental

Every silent generator rental from Volta Energy is fully managed: delivery, fuel management, maintenance, and remote monitoring are all included in a fixed all-in-one price. On average, our systems use 60% less fuel than a comparable diesel generator, on top of the noise reduction. No separate maintenance contract, no surprise costs, just quiet, reliable power for as long as your project needs it.

Frequently Asked Questions about silent generator rental

  • What is a silent generator?
    A silent generator is a power system, usually solar and battery-powered, designed to run without the constant noise of a diesel or petrol engine.
  • How silent is a solar-powered generator really?
    During normal operation, a solar-powered generator like the Volta runs on solar and battery power with no engine noise. A clean backup generator only activates briefly during sustained high demand or extended low-sun periods.
  • Can I rent a silent generator for a construction site near residential areas?
    Yes. Silent generators are especially well suited to construction sites, telecom installations, and other locations near residents, since they avoid the noise complaints that come with a standard diesel generator.
  • How much fuel does a silent generator rental save compared to diesel?
    On average, a silent generator from Volta Energy uses 60% less fuel than a comparable diesel generator.
  • What size silent generator do I need?
    It depends on the load. The Volta 2 ZERO and Volta 6 suit lighter, continuous loads like camera security or traffic control systems, while the Volta 15 through Volta 120 scale up for construction sites and heavier equipment.
