Located north of Bendigo in Victoria, Kamarooka is a rural area known for its farming. Its remote location means most property owners rely on off-grid power solutions. Despite its seclusion, Kamarooka offers a strong rural community and easy access to the large regional town of Bendigo, making it an attractive choice for those seeking a remote yet connected lifestyle.
Reliable Off-Grid Power for a Growing Property
A residential property owner in Kamarooka sought an off-grid power solution to ensure a reliable and scalable energy supply. The system needed to provide enough solar generation and battery storage to meet their current energy needs while allowing for smooth expansion in the future. Additionally, the solution had to integrate with an existing 7kVA generator, ensuring backup power availability. With plans for a new shed to house the power system and roof-mounted solar panels, MyEnergy was engaged early in the design process to create a custom energy solution.
A Scalable Off-Grid Power System
With years of experience in off-grid power system design, MyEnergy created a custom solution to meet the property's specific needs. The system was installed on a dedicated power wall inside the newly constructed shed. The setup features a Victron MultiPlus-II inverter, SmartSolar Charge Controllers and live monitoring via the Cerbo GX Touch display. Twenty Trina Solar panels were expertly mounted on the shed roof and two Pylontech battery units were installed. The battery cabinet design allows for seamless expansion, with the capacity to add up to five additional battery units, increasing storage capacity by 24kWh in the future.
