Goolwa Off-Grid Solar for New Build | MyEnergy Engineering

Off Grid Solar System Roof Mount Solar Array in Goolwa, South Australia.

Just outside the township of Goolwa on South Australia's Fleurieu Peninsula, landowners are increasingly turning to off grid solar systems as a more cost-effective and dependable solution than connecting to mains power. While Goolwa itself is well serviced, heading further out often makes grid connection costly and impractical.

Off Grid Power for a New Home Build

For one new property owner setting up in the outer rural fringe of Goolwa, a customised off grid solar system from MyEnergy was the smarter choice from day one. With no existing electricity infrastructure and the property well beyond the grid's reach, the owner needed a dependable off grid solar system to power the build of their new home and continue supplying reliable energy long after construction is complete.

A Tailored Off Grid Solar System

MyEnergy designed and installed a new off grid solar system built to meet both current and future needs. The system includes 12.32kW of JA Solar panels mounted on the shed roof using a Schletter roof mounting system. This array delivers ample generation to support daily loads and construction demands when the home is being built.

Energy is stored in 20.48kWh of ZYC SYMPO lithium batteries, securely installed in a purpose-built protective cabinet to guard against dust and physical damage. The system's layout and technology allows for future battery expansion if required, supporting long-term flexibility.
