Off-grid

Got somewhere you need power? A homestead, shed, new build, block or project a fair way from the nearest power line.

Got somewhere you need power?

If you've got a homestead, shed, new build, block or project a fair way from the nearest power line, off-grid can be a great way to make it happen.

But first, we'll help you explore your options. That can include walking through the Ergon process to understand what a grid connection may cost and comparing that with an off-grid system.

We're not here to push off-grid for the sake of it. We're here to help you work out the best way to get reliable power where you need it. If off-grid is the right answer, let's do it properly.

It starts with a conversation

Off-grid doesn't need to be intimidating or complicated. It starts with a conversation.

How do you live? What needs to run? What might change in the future? What is important to keep operating no matter what the weather is doing?

Off-grid is a more involved design process because the system is the power supply — there is no grid sitting behind it. The system needs to match the property and the way you actually live.

Our approach is simple: if you're constantly thinking about or worrying about your off-grid power system, we haven't done our job. It should just work quietly in the background.

Protecting the investment

An off-grid system is a significant investment, and we think the equipment is worth protecting.

For our larger systems, we work with Wescor, Queensland specialists who build purpose-made off-grid power cabinets. We design the system around the property and how it needs to operate, and the equipment can be housed in a purpose-built, sealed and air-conditioned enclosure.

Out here, heat, dust and insects are real considerations. Protecting the equipment from those conditions is one more part of building a system intended to work reliably without becoming something you constantly have to think about.
