Residential Off‑Grid Power Systems
Founded in 2010, MyEnergy designs, builds, and supports residential off‑grid solar + battery + generator systems across Australia. We’re known for reliable systems that scale with your home and lifestyle.
Power Where the Grid Can't Go
Why MyEnergy for your off‑grid home
-
Proven reliability: Awarded Clean Energy Project of the Year (2023 & 2024) and Master Electrician of the Year (2024). Real projects, real results.
-
In‑house delivery: Design, build, and installation by our own team — one accountable partner from start to finish.
-
Victron specialists: Long‑time Victron distributor and service agent. We standardise on gear that’s robust, widely supported, and field‑serviceable.
-
Built for the bush: Remote area power is our bread and butter — from arid stations to coastal sites and alpine shacks.
-
Scalable by design: Start small, expand later. Add panels, storage, or generator capacity without re‑doing the whole system.
-
Real backup: We pair solar and batteries with quiet, water‑cooled 1500rpm diesel gensets for fast charging and long service intervals.
What a typical residential off‑grid system includes
-
Solar array sized for winter production and your daily use
-
Battery storage sized for overnight + poor‑weather days
-
Inverter/charger (Victron) for high surge loads (pumps, power tools, appliances)
-
DC chargers (MPPT) for daytime harvesting and battery charging
-
Generator integration (auto‑start) for extended cloud or heavy loads
-
Monitoring (Victron Cerbo GX) with remote support and alerts
-
Safety & switchboard: compliant protection, labelling, and documentation
We prefer modular cabinets & systems that are pre‑built and tested in our workshop, then installed on your site to cut downtime and surprises.
How we size your system (simple, transparent)
-
Load profile: we map daily use, peak loads, and seasonal changes.
-
Winter first: we size solar/battery for July, not just summer.
-
Surge & motor loads: pumps and compressors get headroom.
-
Generator duty: sized for fast charging and shorter run hours.
-
Scalability: clear pathways to add storage or solar later.
You’ll get a concise proposal showing components, layout, energy balance, expansion paths, and upfront/ongoing costs.
Our standards
-
Trusted components: Victron inverters/chargers and chargers, Pylontech or ZYC lithium batteries, Jinko/Trina modules, Schletter racking
-
1500rpm gensets: quiet, water‑cooled units for long engine life and stable charging
-
Documented install: as‑built diagrams, settings, and owner handover
-
Remote support: we can see system data (with your consent) and guide you if something changes
Note: We don’t take over or cover other installers’ warranties. Work on third‑party systems is fully chargeable.
Results that matter
-
Less downtime: resilient design + proper generator pairing
-
Lower lifetime cost: right‑sized gear and scalable architecture
-
Straight answers: no fluff — clear numbers, clear options
Common questions (FAQ)
How big should my system be?
It depends on daily kWh, peak loads, site location, and whether you’ll run electric cooking/heat. We design to winter and leave room to expand.
Do I need a generator?
Yes, for true reliability. A correctly sized 1500rpm water‑cooled diesel generator shortens cloudy‑day recovery and protects batteries.
What about maintenance?
Keep panels clean, check the site, and service the generator at set intervals. We offer periodic check‑ups and remote monitoring.
Can I add more batteries or solar later?
Yes. We plan the cabinet, busbars, and chargers so upgrades are straightforward.
What will it cost?
Most average full‑time homes land between $20k–$70k inc GST depending on use, site works, generator size, and solar area. We’ll quote your site specifically.
