How Komodo Slashes Energy Costs: A Smarter Alternative to Fuel Generators

Electricity isn’t getting cheaper—and neither is fuel. For industries relying on mobile or backup power, traditional generators and grid setups come with a long list of ongoing costs: fuel deliveries, maintenance, repairs, permitting, installation delays, and monthly utility bills. Komodo redefines how we think about power by replacing all of that with one clean, mobile, and cost-efficient energy system. Here’s how Komodo helps you cut costs across every stage of energy use—from fuel and labor to infrastructure and utilities.

Eliminate Fuel Expenses

The Real Cost of Diesel & Gasoline

Diesel and gas-powered generators consume 2–4 gallons per hour, which translates to $36–$96 per day at average fuel prices of $4.50–$6.00 per gallon. Over the course of a 10-day job, that’s $360–$960 per unit—and even higher for operations running 24/7. Add in fuel delivery fees, theft risk, and the environmental impact, and you're looking at one of the most expensive ways to produce electricity.

Komodo’s All-Electric Advantage

With a 100 kWh lithium battery, Komodo delivers clean energy with zero fuel costs. For solar-powered setups, that energy is not just zero-emissions—it’s zero-cost. Whether recharging from the grid overnight or pairing with solar arrays, Komodo cuts recurring energy expenses dramatically.

Save on EV Charging Infrastructure

Traditional EV Charging Setups Cost Thousands

Installing a grid-tied EV charging station can cost $4,000–$10,000+ per port, not including trenching, permitting, and utility upgrades. Larger installations often require transformer upgrades and service panel expansions, which can delay deployments for months and cost tens of thousands.

Komodo as a Mobile EV Charger

Komodo includes a built-in Level 2 CCS1 EV charging port (up to 11kW). This allows any fleet operator, airport, commercial property, or mobile vendor to charge electric vehicles without relying on grid infrastructure. Best of all, Komodo’s EV charging capability works off-grid—no installation, no construction, no permits. Just park and plug.

Zero Maintenance Costs

Fuel Generators Require Regular Upkeep

Oil changes, spark plug replacements, air filters, coolant flushes—typical diesel and gas generators require maintenance every 100–200 hours of runtime. Over a year of regular use, that’s dozens of service calls, downtime, and parts costs that can exceed $1,000–$2,000 per unit.

Komodo Has No Engine to Maintain

With no combustion engine, Komodo’s all-electric drivetrain eliminates all those service points. The solid-state system requires minimal upkeep, freeing your team from maintenance schedules and ensuring reliable operation wherever power is needed.

Lower Total Cost of Ownership

60–65% Less Expensive Over Time

When you combine fuel savings, maintenance elimination, and time saved on setup or transport, Komodo’s total cost of ownership is up to 65% lower than traditional power systems. Businesses can recoup their investment in under 2 years, with savings compounding every day after.

All-in-One Power Solution

Instead of buying or renting separate units for power delivery, EV charging, battery backup, and off-grid solar storage, Komodo handles all four in a single, pallet-sized mobile system. This consolidation reduces purchasing costs, transport fees, and gear complexity.

Off-Grid Power = Zero Utility Bills

Large Commercial Buildings & Facilities

Commercial buildings often pay thousands per month in electricity, especially for peak usage or in areas with demand charges. Komodo can be deployed as a standalone ESS (energy storage system) for buildings looking to operate off-grid, during outages, or to avoid peak pricing. Businesses can run mission-critical systems while keeping grid dependency (and bills) low or zero.

Residential & Agricultural Sites

Remote properties, farms, and large estates often face expensive utility hookups or unreliable rural grids. Komodo replaces the need for long utility runs by acting as a self-contained microgrid, storing solar power and delivering it through clean AC output. That means stable energy access without the monthly costs.

Construction, Mining, and Manufacturing Sites

From tool trailers to lighting rigs and industrial machinery, temporary worksites are power-hungry and often off-grid. Komodo powers these high-demand setups while avoiding generator rental fees, fuel bills, and site-specific wiring costs. As a result, operators reduce overhead and increase margin on every project.

Scalable ROI Across Every Industry

Save Thousands in the First Year

Even for part-time use, Komodo can save $8,000–$12,000 annually per unit when compared to diesel generators. Full-time use sees even higher ROI—especially when paired with solar.

Finance-Friendly for Long-Term Savings

Komodo systems are available with financing options that spread costs out while immediate savings kick in. For businesses looking to improve EBITDA, reduce carbon emissions, or avoid unexpected generator repairs, Komodo delivers short- and long-term value.
