MEH Plant and Equipment Hire (MEH) was established a decade ago in Wingfield, South Australia. Originally a small family-run business, the company has grown to become one of the state’s leading short- and long-term equipment hire operators, catering to both multi-million-dollar civil engineering projects and local tradespeople. 

Now a Tier 1 supplier, MEH has increasingly adapted its systems and processes to meet the evolving demands of the civil construction industry. 

For MEH Manager Rick Martino, an important step in the company’s evolution was to decarbonise operations – reducing energy bills while advancing MEH’s sustainability goals. 

In August 2024, Rick contacted Choice Energy to scope a suitable solar system for the MEH warehouse. After assessing the building’s roof, energy consumption, and future growth needs, Choice’s Andrew Ksefteris recommended a 25kW solar system comprising 65 Trina Solar Panels and a Fronius Eco inverter.
