Scaling Think Hire’s X45 Hybrid Battery Generator

Manufacturing Think Hire’s SiteGrid x45 Hybrid Battery Generator System

Think Hire, the UK’s premier off-grid Energy-as-a-Service provider, a company at the forefront of sustainable power solutions, partnered with Tharsus to manufacture their SiteGrid X45 Hybrid Battery Generator System —a versatile energy storage unit designed to reduce fuel consumption, lower emissions, and provide reliable power to off-grid sites. This unit plays a crucial role in helping industries transition to greener energy solutions for temporary power needs. Tharsus leveraged its design, engineering, and manufacturing expertise to bring the SiteGrid X45 to market at scale, ensuring product efficiency and durability.

Challenges in scaling sustainable power for off-grid Sites

The SiteGrid x45 had specific requirements for Think Hire, including:

• Scaling production to meet the rising demand for sustainable hybrid generators in construction and infrastructure projects.
• Ensuring product reliability in harsh, off-grid environments, where consistent power delivery is critical.
• Integrating advanced battery technology with minimal downtime for the end user.
• Accelerating time-to-market to seize opportunities in the growing hybrid power systems market.

Tharsus’ Approach with Solve + Scale + Supply

Using our proven Solve + Scale + Supply process, Tharsus addressed the key challenges Think Hire faced during the development of the SiteGrid X45. This comprehensive approach involves developing optimised prototypes through rigorous testing (Solve), refining these prototypes for reliable volume manufacturing (Scale), and establishing a robust supply chain for consistent and scalable delivery (Supply).

• Solve:
  Tharsus collaborated with Think Hire to understand the product design, build procedures, and material requirements to map out an efficient production onboarding plan. Our manufacturing know-how ensured a smooth transition into the Scale phase, accelerating the speed to market.

• Scale:
  With the design validated, Tharsus scaled production quickly to meet market demand. By refining the manufacturing process, we ensured each SiteGrid X45 unit maintained consistent quality and performance, even at high production volumes.

• Supply:
  Tharsus onboarded a reliable supply chain, allowing Think Hire to meet customer orders without delays confidently. Streamlined logistics and supply chain management supported seamless delivery and installation of the X45 units across various project sites.

Resulting in faster time-to-market and enhanced reliability

• Faster Time-to-Market
  Tharsus’ streamlined process enabled Think Hire to launch the SiteGrid X45 on time, providing a competitive edge in the hybrid power solutions market.
• Reliability at Scale
  Tharsus’ scalable production process ensured that each x45 unit met strict quality standards and delivered reliable power performance at every site.
• Sustainability Impact
  The SiteGrid X45, with its ability to reduce fuel consumption by up to 80% and cut CO2 emissions, reflects Think Hire’s and Tharsus’ commitment to environmental responsibility, enabling clients to adopt greener energy solutions.

“Tharsus’ manufacturing expertise has been key to the success of the SiteGrid X45, allowing us to bring this innovative hybrid power solution to market more quickly and on a scale that meets the rising demand for sustainable energy. The SiteGrid X45 enables our customers to make real cuts in fuel consumption and emissions, making it a valuable asset for off-grid sites looking to operate more sustainably.”
