Hindmarsh Valley, South Australia, is a scenic location known for its rolling hills and proximity to the coast. Just 5km from Victor Harbor, it offers a balance of rural charm and accessibility. While the township of Victor Harbor has a grid connection, the power lines do not extend far beyond the town, making off-grid solutions essential for many rural properties.
Designing a Custom Off-Grid System
With no grid connection available, these Hindmarsh Valley property owners needed a reliable off-grid solar power system to meet their energy needs. Planning ahead, they consulted MyEnergy before constructing their new shed to ensure it was optimally positioned for sunlight capture and capable of housing a fully integrated off-grid setup.
Maximising Solar and Battery Efficiency
MyEnergy designed and installed a custom off-grid solar power system within the newly built shed, ensuring a reliable, self-sufficient energy supply. The system integrates solar panels, battery storage and smart energy management to maintain consistent power. Roof-mounted solar panels maximise sunlight exposure, while the power system, installed on a wall inside the shed, features Victron components and ZYC batteries. This setup ensures a stable power supply even during low-solar conditions. Intelligent monitoring allows these property owners to track energy use and system performance in real time.
