How Portable Lavatory Systems Improve Productivity on Solar Farms

Solar panels on a solar farm

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Solar farm owners and developers can’t set up solar farms just anywhere; smaller solar farms need to span a few acres while large utility solar farms require hundreds of acres of land. Locations that boast sunny weather year-round are ideal. Likewise, sites with no mountains or obstructions to the south that have plenty of incoming sunlight all day are most favorable. The land should also be relatively flat so that the solar panels can be set up on the stable ground.

Because of the unique requirements of solar farm placement, solar farms usually station in remote areas near the wilderness. Therefore, solar farm sites typically don’t have access to plumbing and running toilets.

Large utility solar farms employ hundreds of workers, making the lack of bathroom facilities an even bigger issue. To meet OSHA regulations, solar farms often only provide the required number of porta-potties on site. However, porta-potties are notorious for being breeding grounds for bacteria and disease. And, due to solar farms’ locations, the porta-potties are also likely positioned directly under the sun, creating an imaginably unbearable environment of heat and odor from the hot sewage.

The lack of accessible and sanitary bathroom facilities can be distracting, causing workers to lose focus on their work. There’s also the issue of the amount of time it takes employees to reach the porta-potties which are probably quite a distance away from the job site.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]

Portable Commodes and Wag Bags Offer the Solution in the Absence of Running Toilets

To prevent workers from going into the neighboring wilderness and using the outdoors to relieve themselves, Brief Relief has created a straightforward solution to meet workers’ sanitary bathroom needs.

The Brief Relief Disposa-John wag bag contains a unique blend of polymers which deodorize and transform liquid and solid waste into a gel.
