How often will your team members see this?
It costs money to keep them on the field. Make their time productive!
If you calculate the cost per year to keep your field team out there working and multiply that by their down time due to power outages, you get the money you’re wasting on downtime. It just makes sense to budget in the equipment to provide reliable power. You will save money by completing the project sooner, a double win for the project.

Low-Powered equipment pays for itself
Choosing the right equipment can cut the cost of your backup or solar power in half or more, so don’t tack on electric power as an afterthought, choose your equipment wisely. The Field Systems Engineer team can help you select efficient computers, equipment and appliances and estimate the costs of the UPS systems, generators or solar power needed to keep your team working. Our site highlights some of the equipment we recommend, but it’s not the whole story. Our team of engineers is on your side and can help you make wise choices when shopping locally for power equipment. We can also help you decide when it makes better sense to ship parts into your location.
