SCENE 01 / PORTABLE POWER SOLUTIONS

Portable Power Solutions

Professional power solutions for film production anywhere in Czech Republic.

Scroll

Portable power solutions keep productions operational in locations without reliable mains electricity. In the Czech Republic, where shoots frequently take place in Prague's historic center, Bohemian castles, and Moravian countryside locations, battery-powered systems and compact generators provide essential energy for production departments.

We source portable power solutions matched to your production's load requirements and location constraints. Whether you're filming in Prague's Old Town, at a Bohemian castle, or in the Moravian countryside, our team evaluates noise levels, runtime needs, and environmental factors to recommend the right power package.

On Location

Portable power solutions keep productions running on location across the Czech Republic, from remote landscapes in the Krkonoše Giant Mountains to heritage sites where mains access is restricted.

Here is how this works in practice. We provide portable power options for productions filming across the Czech Republic, supplying generators, battery systems, distribution boards and the electricians to manage them. Location work here ranges from Prague's historic core to remote sites in the Bohemian and Moravian countryside. The Krkonoše Giant Mountains and Bohemian Switzerland National Park. Few of these places offer the mains capacity a full lighting and camera unit needs. Our power packages scale from quiet inverter generators for documentary and commercial work to large silenced units for feature lighting rigs.

Here is the short of it. We plan distribution carefully so cable runs, load balancing and on-set electrical safety meet professional standards. The Czech crew base includes skilled rigging electricians who manage power for global productions. We set up generator placement to minimise noise on sound-sensitive shoots.

Here is the breakdown. Power planning in the Czech Republic also responds to the country's heritage and site-level constraints. Filming in protected baroque interiors, at castles such as Karlštejn and Konopiště, or within UNESCO sites including the Historic Centre of Prague and Český Krumlov often means generators and cabling must be sited discreetly under conditions agreed with the Prague Film Commission and regional authorities. Battery and hybrid power systems reduce noise and emissions for sensitive locations and for productions conscious of site-level impact.

Here is what that looks like on the ground. Productions accessing the Czech Film Fund's 20% cash rebate, administered by the Státní fond kinematografie, rely on dependable portable power across long schedules and the cold, snowy winters of the Central-European climate, where generators must run reliably in low temperatures. We budget the power package in Czech koruna with 21% VAT and supply the electrical risk assessments insurers need.

FAQ

Professional Power Services

How do I calculate power requirements for my production?

Power requirements are calculated from your equipment lists—lighting draws the most power. We'll help you assess total wattage, account for startup surges, and recommend appropriate generator capacity with safety margins. Typical small shoots need 20-40kVA; larger productions may need 100kVA+.

What's the difference between film generators and standard generators?

Film generators (also called whisper generators) are specifically designed for quiet operation—typically 60-70dB at distance versus 80-90dB for standard generators. This is essential when recording sound. They also provide cleaner, more stable power for sensitive equipment.

Can you provide power for remote locations without road access?

Yes. We offer helicopter-transportable generators, portable battery systems, and solar solutions for remote locations. Planning for remote power requires advance coordination to ensure adequate capacity for your production needs.

Do generators come with operators?

Generator operators are available and recommended for larger productions. They handle startup, monitoring, refueling, load management, and troubleshooting. For smaller generators, trained production crew can operate with proper briefing.

What battery options are available for silent shooting?

We provide high-capacity lithium battery systems for completely silent power. These range from portable packs for small setups to large battery arrays for full lighting packages. Battery systems work well for interview setups, sensitive location work, and situations requiring zero generator noise.

How is power distribution handled on set?

We provide distribution boxes, proper cable runs, and connection hardware. Distribution is managed to balance loads, protect circuits, and ensure safe power delivery to all departments. Our electrical team or generator operator monitors distribution throughout the shoot.

Productions in Czech Republic that need this often pair it with Grip Services, LED Lighting Systems, and Gaffer & Lighting Services for full coverage. Most projects also draw on Power Distribution Systems and Wire Cam Systems.
