Mannum is a well-known riverside town along the Murray River in South Australia, offering a mix of established homes, farming properties and growing rural developments, and is also a popular riverside holiday destination. While the town itself has grid access, new builds on larger rural allotments often sit too far from existing connection points. In these situations, off grid solar provides a practical and dependable solution from the outset, particularly where planning approvals rely on having an established power supply in place.
For this property, council regulations required a power source to be installed before approval could be granted for the future shed and home build. With no existing infrastructure on site, which meant no roof space available at this early stage, careful planning was required to determine the most suitable location for the system and solar panels. MyEnergy worked directly from the owners’ building plans to design an off grid solar system that could support early site works while delivering long-term value for the full residential build. The system was designed to meet the client’s needs today, with ample capacity to expand as future development plans progress.
The off grid solar power system was planned, built within a large vermin and weather-proof steel cabinet and thoroughly tested at MyEnergy HQ before being transported to Mannum for a seamless on-site installation.
