Alano Utilities is the sewerage network provider for the Mount Barker, Wallaroo and Two Wells regions in South Australia. This off-grid project was for a new Alano Utilities water treatment plant located in Callington, where the property has no grid connection despite being just 20 km from the township of Mount Barker. Unlike typical commercial properties, a water treatment plant requires continuous, high-energy output to support essential water movement and filtration processes.
Off Grid Power System Built in a Shipping Container
MyEnergy Engineering were selected to design a fully tailored off-grid power system to meet these specific needs. The system was built within a 20-foot insulated and air-conditioned shipping container, it was assembled at MyEnergy HQ and then transported to the site. Once onsite, our team installed and connected an extensive ground-mounted solar array, utilising 99.6kW of Jinko Solar panels.
To meet the treatment plant’s continuous energy demands, we installed a substantial 96kWh Pylontech lithium battery system inside the shipping container, designed for easy future expansion.
Key Components of this Off Grid Power System:
3 X Victron Quattro 48/15000 Inverter/Charger's
6 X Victron SmartSolar MPPT RS450/200-TR
2 X Fronius Symo 20.0.3
99.6kW Jinko Solar Panels
96kWh Pylontech Battery
Tailored Off-Grid Power for Continuous Operations
This off-grid system delivers reliable, consistent power tailored to the energy needs of this water treatment plant, highlighting MyEnergy's expertise in dependable off-grid solutions for essential infrastructure.
