Resorts & wilderness lodges
Complete remote power systems for accommodation, kitchens, staff facilities and essential services.
Reliable Power for Tourism & Remote Resorts
Guest comfort, essential services and day-to-day operations all depend on reliable power.
MyEnergy Engineering designs, builds and installs standalone and hybrid power systems for remote resorts, island accommodation, eco-retreats, wilderness lodges, caravan parks and tourism facilities. Our systems combine solar, battery storage, generator backup and intelligent controls to provide dependable power in locations where the grid is unavailable, unreliable or too costly to extend.
From a small off-grid retreat to a large island resort, each system is designed around occupancy, operating hours, critical services, local conditions and future growth.

Behind every stay,
a working power system.
Solar, battery and generator systems for remote resorts, lodges, holiday parks and tourism properties.
We build around guest demand, essential services and the work behind the scenes—from kitchens and cooling to water treatment and staff facilities.

Power for the guest experience.
And everything behind it.
A tourism property can move from quiet midweek demand to full occupancy very quickly. We design around these changes, the equipment running together and the essential services that need backup when conditions change.
Holiday parks & regional stays
New cabins and amenities, existing supply constraints and power for expanding visitor facilities.
Island & coastal properties
System layouts that account for freight, site access, exposure and practical ongoing maintenance.
Experience in the field
Power behind memorable stays.
Real MyEnergy installations, designed around the site and the work the power system needs to do.

Talk to us about the site, existing equipment and what you need the system to achieve.
Talk to our teamCan you help when the existing grid supply is full?
We can assess solar, battery, hybrid or separate off-grid systems based on the site and the facilities being added. Lake Eppalock is one example of this type of project.
Can we keep existing generators?
Suitable generators can form part of the system. We review capacity, condition, controls and how they should operate alongside solar and storage.
Can the design allow for more rooms?
Yes. Share the development stages early so electrical capacity, site layout and expansion options can be considered together.

Power Solutions for Tourism Operations
Standalone Resort Power Systems
Complete off-grid systems combining solar generation, battery storage and generator backup. These systems can support small accommodation sites through to large resorts with multiple buildings and substantial operational loads.
Hybrid Solar, Battery and Generator Systems
Hybrid systems use solar and stored energy as the primary supply, with generators operating when additional capacity, battery charging or backup is required. Correct system design can reduce generator runtime, fuel deliveries, servicing and noise without compromising the property's power requirements.
Existing System Upgrades
Many tourism properties grow beyond the capacity of their original power system. We can assess existing solar, batteries, inverters, generators and electrical infrastructure, then develop a staged upgrade or replacement plan.
Upgrades may include:
- Additional solar generation
- Increased battery storage
- Higher inverter capacity
- Improved generator control and integration
- Critical-load separation and load management
- Replacement of ageing or unsupported equipment
- Remote monitoring and alarm systems
- Allowance for future accommodation or facilities
Containerised and Skid-Mounted Systems
Cabinet, skid and containerised power systems can be assembled and tested before delivery. This can reduce construction time on site, simplify remote deployment and provide a controlled equipment environment suited to the project's location.
Grid Support and Backup Power
Not every tourism property is completely off-grid. For sites with weak, restricted or unreliable grid supply, solar and battery storage can support site loads, manage demand and provide backup for essential services during outages.
Remote Monitoring and System Support
Remote monitoring provides visibility over solar production, battery state, generator activity, site demand and system alarms. This allows operational issues to be identified earlier and can reduce unnecessary service travel to isolated locations.
Applications
Our systems can be designed for:
- Island resorts and coastal accommodation
- Wilderness lodges and remote retreats
- Eco-resorts and nature-based tourism
- Safari camps and glamping facilities
- Caravan parks and holiday parks
- Farm stays and regional accommodation
- Visitor centres and national park facilities
- Remote restaurants, cellar doors and event venues
- Staff villages and service buildings
- Marinas and marine tourism facilities
- South Pacific resorts and island communities
- Resort expansions and new tourism developments
Designed Around Seasonal and Variable Loads
Tourism loads can change significantly throughout the day and across the year. A resort may move from low occupancy to full capacity within a short period, while kitchens, laundries, pools and air conditioning can create concentrated demand at particular times.
System sizing needs to account for more than average energy use. We consider:
- Peak occupancy and event periods
- Simultaneous operation of major equipment
- Motor and compressor starting currents
- Daytime and overnight load profiles
- Seasonal solar conditions
- Weather-related changes in heating or cooling demand
- Minimum battery reserve requirements
- Extended poor-weather operation
- Generator loading and charging capacity
- Planned rooms, amenities or facility upgrades
Where suitable, loads can be prioritised or controlled so essential services remain available while flexible equipment operates when solar production or battery capacity is available.
Why MyEnergy
Proven Remote Power Capability
MyEnergy Engineering has delivered off-grid and hybrid power systems across Australia and the South Pacific since 2010. Our experience includes residential systems, agricultural operations, remote tourism, industrial sites and large-scale infrastructure.
Award-Winning Resort Power Project
Our work includes the hybrid renewable energy system at Southern Ocean Lodge on Kangaroo Island, recognised as the 2024 National Clean Energy Project of the Year. The project combined a large solar array, battery storage, multiple inverters and generator backup to support a premium remote resort in a demanding coastal environment.
Complete In-House Delivery
Design, cabinet construction, electrical installation, commissioning and ongoing support are handled by our own team. This provides clear responsibility from initial design through to operation.
Systems That Can Grow
Remote sites rarely remain static. We design with realistic allowances for additional accommodation, machinery, pumping, processing or other future loads, giving the system a clear pathway for expansion.
Generator Integration Experience
Generators remain an important part of many remote systems. We design the solar, battery, generator and controls as one operating system, with attention to starting, transfer, charging, loading and recovery behaviour.
Long-Term Product Support
We select equipment based on reliability, compatibility and ongoing support. MyEnergy is a long-standing Victron Energy distributor and service agent, with experience across a broad range of commercial battery, inverter, solar and generator platforms.
Project Experience
Our completed projects range from compact standalone power cabinets through to large hybrid systems supporting premium island accommodation and critical infrastructure.
At Southern Ocean Lodge, the system combines extensive solar generation, flow battery storage, Victron inverter capacity, Fronius solar inverters and multiple Caterpillar generators. The design was developed to support resort operations while reducing dependence on generator power in a remote coastal location.
This experience gives our team a practical understanding of the operational, logistical and technical demands involved in powering remote tourism properties.
