Residential Off Grid Solar & Battery Systems

Complete solar, battery and generator systems for homes beyond the grid.

From rural family homes to remote properties and high-end builds, every system is designed around the property, the loads and the way you plan to live.

Off-grid power designed and installed by MyEnergy since 2010.

Your Home Comes First

We do not start with a battery size or a pre-built package.

We start with the home.

That means understanding what you need to run, how often you use it and what may be added later.

We consider:

  • Air conditioning and heating
  • Electric cooking and hot water
  • Fridges, freezers and general appliances
  • Bore, pressure and pool pumps
  • Workshops and sheds
  • High-starting motor loads
  • EV charging
  • Future buildings or additions

From there, we work out the inverter capacity, solar generation and battery storage required to support the property.

For a full-time home, that means designing for year-round use. For a weekender or holiday property, it may mean a smaller system with more reliance on generator backup.

The system should suit the home — not force the home to suit the system.
 

Designed for the Days That Matter

Off-grid systems are easy to size when the sun is shining.

The real design work is making sure they continue to perform through winter, poor weather and higher-than-normal power use.

We size around:

Winter Solar

Solar production can drop significantly through the colder months, so system sizing needs to reflect the conditions you will actually face year-round.

Battery Capacity

The battery needs enough stored energy to carry the property overnight and through periods of reduced solar generation.

Peak Power

A home may use relatively little energy over a day but still require substantial power for short periods.

Pumps, compressors, air conditioners and electric cooking all need enough inverter capacity to operate properly.

Generator Backup

For most permanently occupied off-grid homes, a generator forms part of the overall system.

It provides backup during prolonged low-solar periods and allows the batteries to be charged when required.

Rather than treating the generator as an afterthought, we design it as part of the complete power system from the start.

Built for Long-Term Off-Grid Use

When your home has no grid connection, reliability matters more than chasing the cheapest equipment.

We build residential systems using products we know, support and have used across real off-grid projects.

Our approach includes:

  • Proven off-grid equipment
  • Remote system monitoring
  • Generator integration
  • Practical system layouts
  • Capacity for future expansion
  • Equipment that can be serviced and supported

MyEnergy is a long-standing Victron Energy distributor and service agent, and Victron equipment forms the backbone of many of the remote power systems we design.

Your project is also handled by our own team from design through to installation and commissioning.

No handover between one company designing the system and another trying to make it work on site.

Experience That Goes Beyond Residential Solar

Since 2010, MyEnergy has delivered remote power systems for:

  • Residential properties
  • Farms and agricultural sites
  • Commercial operations
  • Resorts
  • Remote infrastructure

Our projects have also been recognised with Clean Energy Project of the Year in 2023, 2024 and 2025, along with Master Electrician of the Year in 2024.

Start With the Right System

You do not need to know exactly what size battery or inverter you need before speaking with us.

That is our job.

To get started, we generally need to understand:

  • Where the property is located
  • Whether it will be occupied full-time or part-time
  • The size and type of home
  • Major electrical appliances
  • Heating and cooling requirements
  • Pumps, sheds or machinery
  • Any future loads you are planning

From there, we can recommend a system configuration and give you a realistic indication of the project budget.

We can also plan the system so it can grow with the property, whether that means adding more battery storage, additional solar or greater inverter capacity later.

Trusted Components Built for Off-Grid Power

An off-grid system is only as reliable as the components behind it. We don’t experiment with unknown brands or short-term solutions — we use equipment that has proven itself in real off-grid conditions across Australia.

Every system is built using well-supported, field-tested components that are designed to handle remote environments and long-term use.

Ready to Build Off-Grid?

A reliable off-grid home starts with getting the system design right from day one.

Whether you're still planning, already building, or upgrading an existing system, MyEnergy can help you work through the power requirements, system size and best way to set the property up for the long term.

Send us your plans, expected loads or property details and we'll take it from there.
