Off Grid Solar System in Sedan, South Australia.

Sedan is a small town in South Australia’s Murraylands, about 130 kilometres east of Adelaide. Best known for its farming land, Sedan today is home to only a few hundred people. Building in regional areas like Sedan often means property owners need to consider independent power supplies, as grid connection can be costly and difficult to access. For many new builds, off-grid solar systems have become the more practical choice, offering reliable alternatives that provide long-term energy security.

Off Grid Solar Plans

For these property owners, the first step in developing their new block of land was to build a shed, with plans to add a home in the future. Starting with a shed is a practical approach, providing valuable storage space and a base for installing the off-grid power system. To ensure reliable electricity from day one, they will need a system designed not only to power the shed but also to support the future home and grow with their needs over time.

A Solution Planned For the Future

MyEnergy designed an off-grid solar system that would be seamlessly built into

the newly constructed shed, with a dedicated space set aside for all key equipment. The system features a 5kVA Victron MultiPlus-II inverter, a Victron SmartSolar MPPT charge controller and a Victron Cerbo GX with Touch 70 display for monitoring. The shed provided enough roof space to install a 10.56kW solar array of JA Solar panels mounted on a Schletter roof mounting system, with energy storage delivered through 20.4kWh of ZYC SIMPO batteries housed in a ZYC cabinet.

With this setup, the property will have a reliable off-grid solar system that can be scaled up to meet the requirements of the future home build.
