Construction sites, logistics yards, roadworks, mines and events all need dependable night-time lighting. MPMC manufactures diesel, solar and diesel-battery hybrid lighting towers, which gives it a balanced view of where each technology fits best. For a growing share of sites, the HSL Series solar lighting tower is the most efficient choice: it runs on free solar energy, operates silently, needs no refuelling and delivers zero emissions at the point of use.
An HSL tower charges its battery from integrated solar panels of 1,170 W to 3,840 W during the day and lights the site through the night. There is no fuel to buy, deliver or store, which reduces site traffic and removes fuel handling from the daily routine. Battery capacities of up to 32.14 kWh give run times of up to 40 hours, carrying the tower through cloudy spells.
Solar towers also make planning simpler. Once positioned, a tower runs automatically from dusk to dawn, and site managers no longer need to schedule refuelling rounds across multiple work areas or out-of-hours deliveries to remote corners of a project.
With no engine running, HSL towers operate silently and produce no exhaust, ideal for residential neighbourhoods, hospitals, night-time roadworks and events. Efficient LED lamps of 100 W to 200 W each, LFP batteries on most models and a simple electrical system mean routine maintenance is light, and optional 4G and CCTV allow fully unattended operation with remote oversight.

Seven HSL models cover 12,000 m² to 24,100 m² of illuminated area at an average of 5 lux, with manual or hydraulic masts from 7.2 m to 9.0 m. The HSL-1500B adds one-button automatic mast raising, 355° horizontal rotation and 90° vertical head adjustment to eliminate dark spots, and its trailer chassis is rated for road travel at 80 km/h for quick moves between work zones.
Larger models such as the HSL-2880B and HSL-3840B use 200 W LED lamps and up to 3,840 W of solar panels to light 24,100 m², suitable for large logistics yards, quarries and major civil works, while compact HSL-1000A and HSL-1000B units suit smaller compounds, car parks and pedestrian routes.

MPMC HSL-1500B solar lighting towers with integrated 1,525 W solar panels, ready for site deployment.For sites with very long winter nights or round-the-clock lighting needs, MPMC's HBL-600D-M X-Matrix hybrid tower pairs an 8 kWh LiFePO4 battery with a 6 kW Kubota Z482-3B diesel generator. It lights 18,200 m² with four 150 W LEDs at 200 lm/W, runs for up to 53 hours on battery alone and achieves 420 hours of autonomy from its 130 L fuel tank, with dual-mode colour temperature switching and adaptive brightness control. The battery-powered HBL-600D-S offers the same lighting performance without an engine.
HSL towers carry a warranty of 2 years or 1,000 charge-discharge cycles. Distributors and rental companies can access the full lighting range alongside MPMC's generator sets, battery storage and hybrid power stations, with OEM and private-label options.
Every MPMC lighting tower benefits from the company's manufacturing base in Jiangsu and its experience supplying power and lighting equipment to more than 120 countries and territories, including mining, construction and event projects.
