Benefits :
Reliable, safe off-grid power supply for customers in remote locations.
Project overview
The more remote the location, the more critical it is to have a safe, reliable source of power. These standalone power systems will operate independently from the main electricity network and provide renewable energy via solar panels, battery storage, an inverter and a backup generator. Each system will be customised to the needs of our end-of-grid customers.
Not only are these systems cleaner and greener, they’re safer too. With no poles and wires to maintain, they reduce the risk of bushfires and minimise farming hazards.
What does this mean for my community?
Reduced Carbon Emissions
Will save approximately ~128,950 CO2-e a year compared to a traditional network.
Community First
Creates local jobs through the delivery phase of the project.
Safer Communities
With no dangerous poles or wires to inspect or maintain, it reduces the fire risk for communities and improves safety for employees.
Greater Reliability
Reduces the risk of unplanned outages from several days a year, to less than 30 minutes a year.
