Residential Off-grid Power System, Lyndoch, South Australia.

Lyndoch South Austrlaia Off-grid Power For A Home
4:01

Lyndoch is a town in the Barossa Valley, located on the Barossa Valley Highway between Gawler and Tanunda, about 58 km northeast of Adelaide. Sitting at an elevation of 175 metres and receiving an average annual rainfall of 560.5mm, Lyndoch is also recognised as one of the oldest towns in South Australia. While the township itself is serviced by grid electricity, many properties further out across the surrounding rural land are beyond practical grid connection. In these locations, off-grid power is often the most reliable way to run a property. 

Growing Power Demands

This property owner just outside Lyndoch had been operating on an existing solar and battery setup, but as their energy requirements increased, the original system could no longer keep up with the daily load. Additional appliances, growing household demand, and the need for greater battery capacity meant the system had effectively reached its limit. Rather than patching together short-term fixes, the owner chose to upgrade the system properly to ensure their off-grid power supply could support the property long into the future. 

The Off-Grid Power Upgrade Solution 

MyEnergy delivered an upgraded off-grid power solution that integrated with the existing infrastructure already on site while significantly increasing generation and storage capacity.

The main power system was installed in the back corner of the property’s shed, positioned closest to the house for practical cable runs and easy system access. Twenty-two solar panels were mounted on the shed roof to expand the solar generation capacity feeding the off-grid system. At the heart of the upgrade is a Victron Quattro inverter, providing reliable system management and the ability to support the property’s larger energy loads.

The system includes 38kWh of Pylontech lithium battery storage, installed in a dedicated battery rack. This provides substantial energy storage and allows the system to comfortably handle daily consumption while maintaining reserve capacity.

Additional solar generation was also installed on the home itself. A Fronius Primo inverter was paired with sixteen solar panels on the house roof, further contributing to the property’s overall solar production and strengthening the off-grid power supply across the site.

As far as I am concerned MyEnergy Engineering is the only place to go for a solar power system. Moved to a off-grid rural property and this is the second system MyEnergy has installed for me over the years. Never had an issue with either. The quality systems they install always produce above my expectations
