Located in the remote north-east of South Australia, Lindon Station is a historic pastoral property situated hundreds of kilometres from major regional centres. Like many historic remote stations, reliable electricity is essential for supporting day-to-day operations and station infrastructure where access to the electricity grid simply isn't available. In these remote environments, dependable off grid power is critical to keeping the property running year-round.
Like many outback stations, Lindon Station required a reliable off grid power system capable of supporting the property's growing energy demands while reducing reliance on generators. Without a suitable existing building on site to house the critical power equipment, the system also required a secure, weatherproof structure capable of withstanding the harsh Australian outback while ensuring reliable long-term operation.
This off grid power system was designed at MyEnergy HQ, with every element of the installation carefully planned before construction commenced. At the heart of the project is a purpose-built 20ft shipping container, fully customised and fitted out prior to transport. The air-conditioned, insulated and lockable container houses the critical power equipment, providing a secure, weatherproof environment for reliable long-term operation.
The system features 52.8kW of JA Solar panels installed on the shed roof using an S-Rack Roof Mount System, making use of the available roof space while maximising solar generation.
Inside the container, the system features two 15kVA Victron Quattro inverter chargers, 153.6kWh of ZYC Energy lithium battery storage, three Victron SmartSolar MPPT RS charge controllers, an SMA Sunny Boy inverter and a Victron Ekrano GX for intelligent system management and remote monitoring. The complete containerised power system was fully built, tested and commissioned before being transported to site.
Once delivered, the container was positioned and connected to the roof-mounted solar array and existing generator infrastructure, creating a fully integrated off grid power system. Built to withstand heat, dust and the harsh Australian outback, the containerised design provided a streamlined installation while protecting critical system components and allowing room for future expansion as the station's power requirements continue to grow.
Lindon Station has transitioned to a modern containerised off grid power system that is reliable, scalable and built for remote Australian conditions. Featuring a roof-mounted solar array, substantial battery storage, advanced monitoring and integrated generator support, the station now benefits from dependable off grid power while retaining the flexibility to expand as future energy requirements grow.
