Complete off-grid solar and battery system for remote property

OFF-GRID SOLAR & BATTERY POWER FOR REMOTE PROPERTIES

If you're in a remote of rural location and reliable electricity isn't a luxury, we can professionally design and install off-grid solar and battery systems that enable you to generate, store, and consume your own electricity.

With remote solar power and off-grid battery systems that are built for Australian households and businesses, all kinds of properties like houses, cabins, and sheds can rely on self-generated power.


STANDALONE SOLAR BATTERY SYSTEMS: POWER SOLUTIONS

There are properties all over NSW that have very limited or no access to any public electricity supply, making it hard to run businesses, everyday life, and farming operations.

Being low maintenance and designed for reliable energy production and storage, off-grid solar and battery systems are perfect for remote properties looking to get better access to energy.

A standalone solar battery system allows you to be completely independent of the grid, generating solar power throughout the day and storing it for later use.

Consisting of panels, off-grid inverters, and energy storage, our standalone off-grid battery systems are designed for longevity and reliable delivery of self-generated power which can also be paired with a diesel generator.

ARE OFF-GRID SOLAR BATTERY SYSTEMS WORTH IT?

Determining whether an off-grid solar and battery system is worth the investment for your property depends on several factors including your energy requirements, budget, location, and long-term goals.

For remote properties in areas like Newcastle, Maitland, and the Hunter Region with limited or no grid access, an off-grid solar and battery system is often the most cost-effective and reliable solution for electricity needs.

Off-Grid Properties

For remote homes and properties with no access to the electrical grid, installing a complete off-grid solar and battery system provides full energy sustainability and eliminates the need for expensive grid connection extensions.

Grid-Connected Properties

For suburban homes with reliable grid access, a grid-connected solar and battery system may be more suitable, allowing you to use solar power during the day and draw from the grid when needed.

It's not just "doomsday preppers" who benefit from these systems—anyone seeking full energy independence, protection against rising costs, and immunity to grid outages can benefit.

Go completely self-sustainable with your own off-grid power system today.

IDEAL FOR REMOTE LOCATIONS

Standalone solar and battery systems are ideal for remote locations where connecting to the electrical grid is impractical or cost-prohibitive.

In many cases, rural properties are limited by electrical grid capacity, restricting their energy usage. An off-grid system eliminates these limitations.

Our systems are perfect for remote areas including Dungog, Gloucester, Forster, and Lake Cathie.

SIGNIFICANT COST SAVINGS

If you're in an area with high electricity costs, going completely off-grid allows you to generate and consume your own power, leading to substantial long-term savings.

You can also experience the benefits of off-grid power without fully disconnecting through a Virtual Power Plant (VPP), where you primarily rely on solar and battery with the grid as backup.
