Ross, Hirstglen Off-Grid Home
The Project
Location: Hirstglen, QLD
Solution: Off-grid home solar setup with battery system
Ross from Hirstglen, QLD visited the team instore after finding their website online. He toured the onsite off-grid systems for a better understanding of their setup and a site visit was organised for the team to assess his storage and power capacity needs.
With an off-grid home operating on only a generator for years, Ross decided to upgrade his power supply by investing in an off-grid solar system – a more affordable and sustainable alternative to connecting directly into the power grid. Ross also needed an option that wouldn’t require large storage options for battery systems.
The Solution and Delivery
Excel Power installed 12 LG solar panels, 12 Enphase microinverters and 1 Tesla Powerwall with 5kW output power, capable of powering multiple appliances at once – a luxury Ross didn’t have before when running a single generator.
Ross also partnered with Excel Power to add an LG air conditioner to his setup now that he had the power supply to run one.
Outcome
The installation of a solar system has vastly improved his off-grid setup and offers peace of mind instead of relying heavily on a generator. Ross received 15 years warranty on his Enphase microinverters and LG solar panels plus 10 years warranty for the Tesla Powerwall. The installation took 1 day to complete and the system is backed-up by an auto-start generator.
