Perhaps the idea of being completely self-sufficient appeals to your independent nature. Or you simply want to keep your carbon footprint as small as possible.
Sometimes, going off-grid is the only option. In remote locations, it may be impractical or prohibitively expensive to connect to the grid.
An off-grid solar system involves significant investment, planning and design. It’s important that every part of the house is as energy efficient as possible, and you should consider using other fuels for high energy needs such as hot water, cooking and heating. This will help minimise seasonal fluctuations in the demand from your solar system and reduce the size of the system you need to install.
In designing your system, we consider things like your power use habits, whether you are home during the day, the difference between summer and winter sunshine hours. The price can vary widely between systems and will depend on several factors including the amount of power you need to generate and the number of batteries you need.
