Power Solutions
Professional production power for your Chinese production.
Here is how this works in practice. Power solutions for film production cover portable power packs, battery systems, solar rigs, and hybrid setups that deliver reliable electricity in any location. Choosing the right power way depends on load needs, noise restrictions, site-level considerations, and the logistical constraints of each shooting environment.
Here is the short of it. We check your production's power needs and source appropriate solutions from local providers, whether that means quiet power packs for dialogue scenes, high-capacity units for large lighting setups, or battery systems for remote locations. Our team manages delivery, fueling, and tech support across your shoot.

Generators, batteries and hybrid rigs across Chinese shooting environments
Here is the breakdown. Power-solutions briefs in China span a wider range than most production accountants expect. A DJI or Huawei product launch in a Shenzhen high-rise can run fully off Anton Bauer, IDX and the Chinese-made DJI Power, EcoFlow and Bluetti battery systems that have crossed over from consumer into pro cinema use — quiet, swap-out, no fuel logistics.
Here is how this works in practice. A historical drama at Hengdian World Studios with a full 18K and tungsten package needs 150–500kVA Cummins or Caterpillar tow plants. A Tibetan plateau or Inner Mongolia desert exterior demands fuel-managed multi-day power packs operation with altitude-compensated Honda EU or Yuchai units sized for thin air. Our rental team maps the lighting load, sound-isolation needs and venue constraints to the right combination of grid tie-ins, silent gensets and battery hybrids drawn from Beijing and Shanghai supplier networks.
Here is what that looks like on the ground. Delivery is where Chinese details show up. State Grid (国家电网) tie-ins are set up through licensed Chinese electricians familiar with the forms that Cultural Relics Bureau and venue management need. We don't connect to a Forbidden City auxiliary panel without that chain. Block batteries and V-mount/Gold mount inventories travel with the production through customs as part of camera kit. But full power packs packages are sourced domestically and pre-tested at the depot before being dispatched by Yutong coach support cars or Iveco production trucks to set. Our coordinator manages fuel runs, swap-out logistics if a unit faults mid-shoot, and ICP-related power needs for streaming-platform deliveries — keeping production on its schedule from prep through wrap.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What size generators do you provide?
We supply power packs from small 20kW portable units to large 500kW tow-behind power packs. Most narrative shoots use power packs in the 60-150kW range, based on lighting needs. We can calculate the right size for your needs.
Are your generators suitable for film sets?
Yes, we give super-silent power packs designed for film production. These units are baffled and housed to cut noise, allowing them to be positioned closer to set without interfering with sound recording.
Can you coordinate tie-ins?
Yes, we can set up building tie-ins where appropriate and permitted. Tie-ins can be more economical for studio work or locations with enough electrical infrastructure. Our team handles all planning with building management.
What battery systems do you offer?
We stock V-mount and Gold mount batteries from Anton Bauer, IDX, and others for cinema cameras and accessories. We also give block batteries for larger gear and complete charging solutions for multi-camera shoots.
Do you provide electricians?
Yes, we work with qualified Chinese electricians skilled in film production. Having local electrical crew makes sure compliance with Chinese rules and efficient, safe power distribution.
What about remote locations?
We can power shoots in remote locations across China. This has setting up power packs delivery, fuel supply, and tech support for locations without convenient grid access.
