The short answer

NG Elec installed a complete off-grid solar system on a remote Kangaroo Island property in one day. The job covered load calculations, system design, battery storage, inverter, installation, testing and commissioning. It powers the owner's new shed and was designed to supply a planned home later without starting again.

The job

Brief, build, result.

The brief

The owner had just finished a new shed on a remote part of Kangaroo Island with no mains power available.

A home is planned for the site later, so they didn't want a short-term fix. They needed a system that works now and can be built on when the house goes up.

What we did

We started with an energy assessment and load calculations, working out what the shed needs today and what a future home is likely to add.

From there we designed the system, selected the equipment, and supplied and installed the solar, battery storage and inverter. We tested and commissioned everything on site before handing over.

The result: The system went in over one day and now powers the shed. Because it was designed with the future home in mind, it can be expanded rather than replaced. Thinking about power for your own block? Have a look at our off-grid solar service and our Kangaroo Island page.
