Off-Grid Solar Package
What This Upgrade Is
Take your cottage off the grid with an integrated solar and battery system. Final system sizing depends on your occupancy, appliances, heating, hot water, battery expectations, and whether you want generator backup. We don't offer a one-size-fits-all package — we size it to your actual needs.

- Lithium battery storage system
- MPPT solar charge controller
- 240V inverter/charger
- Pre-wired distribution board
- DC isolators and safety switchgear
- Battery monitoring display
- Professional installation & commissioning
Exclusions
- Generator backup (optional add-on)
- Additional battery capacity beyond specified system size
- Solar panel cleaning and ongoing maintenance
- Grid connection infrastructure (not applicable for off-grid)
