This stand alone solar system was installed on a remote property west of Cunnamulla in South West Queensland. The site was formerly a sheep station with shearers’ quarters, making it a practical location for an off grid power system.
The system supplies the essential electricity needs of the remote household without relying on a mains connection.
Cunnamulla Off Grid Solar System
The system supports a broad range of household and property loads, including refrigeration, lighting, fans, washing machine, television, computer equipment, phone and fax services, water pumps and air conditioning.
It also provides power to a workshop with equipment such as a welder, power saw, drills and grinders.
System Components
- Suntech monocrystalline solar panels
- Plasmatronics 60 amp solar charge controller
- Exide 1080 amp hour deep cycle batteries
- 2 x Latronics 2.5 kW off grid solar inverters
- Woods 30 amp battery charger
The combined inverter capacity provides 5 kW of off grid power for the household and workshop.
Reliable Power for a Remote Property
The battery bank stores energy generated by the solar array so the household can continue operating when solar production is low.
The combination of solar generation, battery storage, inverter capacity and charging equipment gives the property a dependable alternative to mains electricity.
Power for Household and Workshop Loads
The system was designed to support both normal household use and heavier workshop equipment.
This allows the owners to run essential appliances, water pumps, air conditioning and tools from one stand alone power system.
For a remote property west of Cunnamulla, this setup provides a practical way to maintain reliable power without extending the electricity network.
