Nangkita is a regional area on the Fleurieu Peninsula, South Australia, known for its rolling hills, sweeping valleys and farming land. The area is home to small agricultural holdings, cottages and rural properties. While the setting is picturesque, access to reliable mains power is often limited or prohibitively costly. For many landholders, this makes off grid power not just a practical necessity but the most efficient way to secure dependable electricity, tailored to the unique demands of rural living.
Replacing an Ageing Off Grid Power System
These property owners in Nangkita were looking to upgrade their power supply for their charming rural cottage. Their existing system was ageing and no longer meeting the property’s needs, so they required an off grid power replacement that was reliable and visually in keeping with the charm of their cottage surrounds.
Streamlined Off Grid Power Installation
With MyEnergy’s expertise lying in remote power system design, this off grid
power cabinet was planned and built off-site at MyEnergy HQ in Lonsdale. Tested, certified and ready to go, it was transported to site and installed with ease.
The sleek cabinet design blended with the front verandah of the cottage while protecting the core components in a vermin and weatherproof aluminium housing. A JA Solar panel array was mounted to the roof using a Schletter system, and while the batteries provide ample storage, a generator inlet has been included for future integration. This off grid power setup combines proven solar and battery technology with Victron’s monitoring and control, delivering dependable performance today with the flexibility to scale over time.
