Stand-alone power

Off-grid solar that will go the distance.

Want to build in a beautiful location the utilities won’t touch — or will, for an extortionate connection fee and a bill forever after? That’s the job.

Self-sufficiency without the drama.

You need a renewable system that won’t leave you worrying about overloading it or sitting in the dark. Sized for winter, for the pump that kicks in at 6am, and for the week of weather you always get in June.

Imagine the sound of no generator, day in, day out.

Generator offset

Keep the genset. Stop living on it.

Offset an existing generator with solar and batteries and you get more working capacity from the machine, far less fuel, and a quieter site. Convert fully to renewables with generator backup, or run simultaneous offset.

Typical return on the fuel you’re no longer burning: around one to three years.

How an off-grid system is actually designed

Load profile

What energy you use and when. Peaks, spikes and max demand — welders, pumps, air-con, the kitchen — all worked out into numbers we can use to design a system.

Winter sun

Northern NSW is generous in summer and mean in June. Arrays are sized for the lean months.

Autonomy

Enough storage to ride through weather without leaning on the generator every cloudy afternoon.

Backup

A generator that starts when it should, stays off when it should, and lasts for years.
