The owners chose to install an off grid solar system after receiving a grid connection quote of $60,000.
The system was installed in 2010 and continues to provide reliable electricity for the Sunshine Coast home.
Sunshine Coast Off Grid Solar System
The system includes a 2.7 kW solar array, 65 kWh battery bank and Selectronic SP PRO 4.5 kW inverter charger.
It supplies reliable power for household appliances including refrigeration, LED televisions, washing machine, water pumps and lighting.
Flexible Inverter and Generator Support
The Selectronic SP PRO inverter was chosen because it gives the owners flexibility if mains electricity becomes available in the future.
The system can be connected to the grid if required, while the inverter can also work in parallel with a generator to provide additional power.
This made the off grid system a practical alternative to paying the quoted $60,000 grid connection cost.
Battery Storage for Reliable Household Power
The 65 kWh battery bank stores solar energy for use overnight and during periods of lower solar production.
This gives the household dependable power for essential appliances without relying on a mains connection.
The battery capacity also supports the system’s ability to maintain power through changing weather conditions.
Protected Off Grid Power Equipment
The inverter, charger and battery equipment are housed together to keep the system organised and protected.
The completed installation provides a long term power solution for the property while retaining options for generator and future grid integration.
