Celebrated around the world as the pioneer of experiential luxury in Australia, the new iteration of Southern Ocean Lodge has returned to crown the wildly beautiful clifftops on Kangaroo Island.
The Southern Ocean Lodge project on Kangaroo Island represents a landmark Hybrid Renewable Energy System (HRES) undertaken by MyEnergy Engineering.
Our primary goal was to deliver an energy solution that aligned with its commitment to sustainability and minimal environmental impact.
Kangaroo Island, a location with unique environmental and aesthetic considerations, we ensured the system was aesthetically pleasing and integrated seamlessly with the local environment.
The off-grid power system consists of the following:
Inverter Chargers: 12 x Victron Quattro 48/15000, providing a continuous output of 180kVa and a peak of 300kVa
