Located on the Fleurieu Peninsula approximately 70km south of Adelaide, Yankalilla Quarry, part of the Pocock Quarries group, is known for producing high-quality quartzite quarry products used across South Australia. Reliable power is essential to keeping the site operating efficiently.
Reliable Off Grid Power for Quarry Operations
The quarry owners required a reliable and stable off grid power supply to support daily operations without interruption. The system needed to be carefully designed around the site's daytime energy usage, ensuring the solar generation and battery storage capacity aligned with the power demands of the rooms and facilities used throughout the working day.
Purpose-Built Commercial Off Grid Power Solution
MyEnergy delivered a tailored off grid power system for the Yankalilla Quarry, designed around the site’s operational requirements. Built inside a vermin and weatherproof cabinet for protection of critical system components at MyEnergy HQ, the system allowed for a fast and streamlined installation once onsite. Carefully sized to match the site's operational demands without unnecessary oversizing, the cabinet was installed within a nearby shed and connected via underground cabling to the neighboring rooms.
The system features 4.75kW of Aiko Energy solar panels installed on the shed roof using the S-Rack mounting system, paired with a Victron MultiPlus-II 48/5000/70-50 230V inverter and 15.36kWh of ZYC Energy SIMPO battery storage, with plenty of room to expand. Key system components also included the Victron SmartSolar MPPT RS 450/100-Tr and Victron Ekrano GX, providing solar charging and system monitoring capabilities to maintain reliable day-to-day performance.

Reliable Off Grid Power Designed Around Real Usage
Every off grid power system designed by MyEnergy is built around how the site actually operates. For Yankalilla Quarry, this meant designing a system that aligned with their daytime usage patterns while ensuring dependable long-term operation in a demanding quarry environment. From onsite cabinet integration through to trenching and final commissioning, the project was delivered as a practical and reliable off grid power solution built for daily use. By pre-building the system at MyEnergy HQ, the final onsite installation process was completed efficiently, reducing disruption to quarry operations.
