BILLIE EILISH SOLAR-POWERED LOLLAPALOOZA HEADLINE SET

Overdrive & Reverb JOINED FORCES to POWER THE FESTIVAL STAGE WITH CLEAN SOLAR POWER

AS PART OF THE MUSIC DECARBONIZATION PROJECT, BILLIE EILISH AND REVERB PARTNERED TO BRING CLEAN ENERGY TO THE MAIN STAGE AT LOLLAPALOOZA

Intelligent battery systems charged via a temporary on-site solar array powered key components of Billie’s 80-minute headline set. This zero-emission technology reduced the use of highly-polluting diesel generators.

Working with Billie Eilish’s production teams and Lollapalooza’s operations teams, Overdrive Energy Solutions & REVERB designed the rollout of a temporary solar farm and intelligent battery system to partially power the festival main stage.

The 12 zero-emissions, environmentally safe & 100% recyclable LFP battery banks fully powered all designated stage elements and provided continuous power and covered peak draws for Billie Eilish’s headline performance

  • The battery systems were fully charged by the on-site solar farm set up several days in advance of Billie’s set

  • The 136 panel, 10,000 sq. ft. solar array was built in just 4 hours and removed the day prior to the opening of Lollapalooza

  • The system was capable of providing 750 kW of power and 1.4 megawatt hours of energy storage, enough to power multiple headline sets

  • In all, the battery system used less than 7% of its stored capacity and one-third of its power capacity. It could have powered 10 more setswith similar power needs without recharging!
