Portable Power Technology – Reliable Mobile & Off-Grid Power

Portable Power Technology was founded by engineer-entrepreneur Paul Mercer and business-angel Barbara Merry, born from a passion to bring power where it’s needed most — even when traditional mains electricity is unavailable. From the very start, PPT committed itself to delivering innovative power systems that help tackle energy poverty and provide reliable, renewable electricity wherever people are off-grid, off-line, or on the move.

Over the past 15 years, PPT has grown into a trusted name worldwide. Their solutions have powered a diverse range of applications — from cosy glamping pods and caravans, to ambulances, commercial vehicles, remote sites, and even communities in developing regions lacking stable grid access. What began as a vision for energy accessibility has expanded into a broad spectrum of power solutions, backed by solid engineering and a dedication to quality.

At the core of what PPT does is a combination of technical expertise and creativity: their engineers work alongside design and manufacturing teams to build portable powerpacks, inverters, solar kits, battery chargers and full off-grid systems — all crafted to be robust, flexible and user-friendly. Their goal is simple: to make sure that — whether you’re on a remote job site, on an expedition, or living off-grid — you never have to rely on noisy, fuel-hungry generators.

PPT’s approach has always been about understanding each customer’s needs and delivering the right solution. From individuals buying small powerpacks for vans or boats, to businesses needing custom power installations, PPT treats every project with the same care. They also strive to build sustainability into their work — wherever possible reducing environmental impact and promoting cleaner, quieter power alternatives.
