Just outside the town of Goolwa on South Australia’s Fleurieu Peninsula, a section of the Goolwa Airport is being redeveloped into a new residential estate. This unique project is transforming part of the airfield into livable space on the edge of town, where each property will require an independent power solution.
Off Grid Power for a New Home Build
One of the new property owner's here approached MyEnergy with plans for their new home build in the estate. They needed an off grid power system to power the construction and provide reliable energy long after the home is complete. The unique location of this development within an operational airfield meant that connecting to the grid would be costly, so establishing an independent power solution with a tailored off grid power system was essential from the very beginning.
A Tailored Off Grid Power System, Ready for Takeoff
To support both the demands of construction and the long-term needs of this new property build, MyEnergy designed a customised off grid power system built at our HQ in Lonsdale, South Australia. The system was housed inside one of our largest steel cabinets, engineered to protect the equipment from weather, dust and vermin. Once complete, it was transported to site on the MyEnergy truck and placed alongside the wall in the newly built garage.
The installation includes 17.6kW of JA Solar panels mounted on the shed roof
using a Schletter roof mounting system. Power is delivered through a Victron MultiPlus-II and SMA inverter, with solar input managed by a Victron SmartSolar charge controller. System performance is monitored via the Victron Ekrano GX, giving the owner real-time visibility and control of their off grid power supply.
Energy is stored in ZYC SYMPO lithium batteries, securely housed within the steel cabinet, ensuring safe storage and allowing for future expansion if required. The system was also connected to an existing 7kVA generator already on-site.
