Instagrid announces the launch of Instagrid GO.
The high-performance battery unit will provide mobile power to North American workers facing challenging power demands, while simultaneously transforming workplace safety and driving the industry net-zero push.
Global off-grid work is currently dominated by inefficient and costly fuel-powered combustion generators that produce harmful emissions and pose health risks to users. In the United States, new safety standards for portable generators have been proposed, with the State of California already confirming a ban on the sale of portable gas-powered generators, coming into effect in 2028.
Born out of Germany’s world-renowned epicenter for innovation and engineering excellence, Instagrid has developed a sustainable alternative power supply that integrates a unique award-winning architecture of stacked micro-inverters to deliver precise grid-like performance, at a fraction of the size, weight, and environmental cost of conventional generators. In fact, by avoiding expenditure on fuel and maintenance, Instagrid customers save nearly 80% on lifetime costs, all while generating zero exhaust fumes.
Instagrid’s principal and flagship product Instagrid ONE has so far helped nearly 50,000 users across Europe to reduce costs thanks to savings on fuel and maintenance, and to create a more efficient and healthier work environment. In many cases, Instagrid ONE has transformed how users work entirely. For example, providing metal workers ultra-high peak power for welding on-the-go, or helping film crews to streamline their operations by avoiding cumbersome cables and noisy power generators on set.
Following the monumental success of Instagrid ONE across several verticals in Europe, Instagrid has now developed a new power unit that directly responds to the unique energy regulations of North American industries including construction and film production, while encompassing the peak power and portability components of Instagrid ONE. Instagrid GO will transform the way workers operate, granting them a higher level of flexibility and freedom to perform power-demanding tasks, while elevating their level of safety through reduced cabling and local emissions. Furthermore, by drastically reducing air and noise pollution on-site, workers can feel assured that their safety is of paramount importance.
Instagrid GO: portable energy reinvented
Instagrid GO (shown above, product spec below) is the new North American market-specific, IoT-enabled mobile energy source for construction and film production, providing clean power for anyone, anywhere, anytime:
- Uncompromising power – Instagrid GO delivers grid-like performance with a rated power output of 3.6 kW and peak power output of 18.0 kW, meaning users can power even the most demanding tools with ease.
- Efficient by design – Unlike the heavy traditional combustion generators, weighing just 46 lb the Instagrid GO is easily transported in just one hand, allowing the user to carry the power with them wherever they go. Its additional IP44 rating means it can be used in all weather conditions, and it’s protected from dust and particles.
- Increased safety – Instagrid GO reduces hundreds of feet of cumbersome cabling that all too often trail directly through the site, in turn reducing trip hazards and speeding up set-up and tear-down times. Instagrid GO emits zero noise or fumes, improving worker safety and protecting the local environment.
- Proven credentials – Born out of the European success of its sister unit Instagrid ONE, Instagrid GO represents an industry-proven high-performance clean energy alternative now designed specifically for the North American construction and film production industries.
Instagrid GO is the third product from Instagrid, and is compatible with the Instagrid LINK – the smart power distributor that lets users connect multiple power sources together, allowing seamless switching between them and increasing overall capacity.
Instagrid GO is developed with dual 120 V outputs and the option to switch to 240 V, empowering professional use cases across multiple sectors of industry, including construction, film & media, emergency services, and events. With charge times of under 3 hours, and enabling a sustained and efficient energy supply, the Instagrid GO powers a range of applications. For example:
- 3,000 W table saw – powers 4,100 cuts through 2×4 in lumber
- 2,200 W breaker – capable of demolishing 8 tons of 6 in concrete slabs
- 3,300 W diamond core drill – 32 cuts through 6 in of concrete with 6 in core drill bit
- 180 Wh film camera – recharge 11 times
- 420 W LED soft light – 5 hours at full brightness
Instagrid GO is also available to purchase in UK markets, delivering power equivalent to the UK construction regulation 110 V
Sebastian Berning, Co-CEO and Co-Founder: “Instagrid GO embodies the same innovative spirit as our European flagship product, Instagrid ONE, which has revolutionised the portable power market since its inception. Rooted in rigorous German engineering and fueled by feedback from top-tier professional customers, we crafted Instagrid GO to fulfil the exacting demands of the North American market. Instagrid GO is a game-changer for professionals across various industries pursuing clean, high-performance mobile power.”
Andreas Sedlmayr, Co-CEO and Co-Founder: “The launch of Instagrid GO marks a groundbreaking step in our commitment to delivering high-performance power while achieving ambitious sustainability targets. In our mission to decarbonize off-grid power, we are now entering the North American market, which remains heavily reliant on combustion technology. With nearly 50,000 users across Europe already experiencing the benefits of clean, high-performance mobile power, Instagrid GO is set to empower professionals throughout North America. This innovative solution will not only drive their commercial success but also support the transition towards net-zero goals.”
