Off-grid solar and battery systems

If the mains is too far, too costly or too unreliable, we build the whole system around what you run and when.

Off-grid solar

Built around what you run

An off-grid system has to get you through every night and every cloudy spell on its own, so the design matters more than any single product in it.

We start with what you run and when, then work out how many cloudy days the battery has to carry you through. The battery bank is the biggest cost, so that number matters more than the panel count.

We use Victron equipment with Pylontech lithium batteries. That combination has been tested and certified by both Victron and Pylontech, so you get a reliable, robust system built to last.

The battery bank is the biggest cost, so we size it first.

FAQ

Straight answers

Questions we get asked about off-grid solar.

How do you size an off-grid system?

We start with what you run and when, then work out how many cloudy days the battery has to carry you through. The battery bank is the biggest cost, so that number matters more than the panel count.

Is off-grid cheaper than connecting to the mains?

It can be, when the mains is a long way off or the connection cost is high. We can quote the system so you have a real number to put next to the connection quote.

Is there a rebate for off-grid systems?

Off-grid systems follow different rules to grid-connected ones. Ask us and we'll check what applies to your property.

Can you work on properties further out?

Yes. Call us and we'll tell you if your property is in range.
