Real systems on real properties
Zaytuna Farm
The homestead, the gardens and the dam, with solar on the roof.
Off-grid solar and battery systems for NSW, QLD and SA
Live where you want. Power it yourself.
On or off the grid, solar and battery systems designed around your property and what you want to run on it.
Which one sounds like you?
Building where the grid isn't
Compare the connection cost with owning your own power station outright.
Full off-grid systems
Take control of your energy future
Stay connected and run on your own solar and battery, so more of what you pay is up to you.
Hybrid systems
Lights on through the next flood
Backup that carries the fridge, pump and comms when the network drops.

Forget kilowatts. Here's what you can switch on.
The Weekender
Around $13,000 to $17,000
Runs a small air conditioner, an air fryer and an induction cooktop. Made for tiny houses, cabins and weekenders.

Reasons to install solar and batteries
Energy securityYour own power on your own property, whatever the network is doing.
Self-sufficiencyMake and store the energy you use the most of.
Control over what you payWe can't control grid prices. Daily service fees and energy prices are going up. This puts you in control now.
Long-term reliabilityA system designed to keep working for years.
Straight up: solar and batteries don't cover everything. After three days of rain you want smarts and a generator to top the batteries up and keep things running.

Reviews from Google, unedited, in the customers' own words.
“Mike was very helpful. Good practical information and assistance to help us reduce our costs and dependence on the grid.”
Garrett, Google review
“Mike and his team are extremely efficient and completely focused on delivering you an excellent experience in an industry currently full of cowboys.”
Matt Dowdney, Google review
“Knowledge and experience is honest and factual with no beating around the bush, down to earth. Mike from my perspective has great personal communication and has a desire to help people.”

Why we're different
We don't run a warehouse. On purpose.
Most solar companies buy in bulk and then sell you what's on the shelf. We don't hold stock, so nothing in a warehouse ever decides what goes on your roof. We give up the container discount to keep that freedom, and it pays you back in ways a discount never does. The design is built around your property, not our inventory. Every design is priced on the gear available the week it's ordered. And when one install slipped three months, the customer's 440-watt panels became 470-watt panels at no extra cost, because we hadn't bought the old ones.
Systems designed for the property, not picked from a catalogue. It's what we've always done. Start with the property, not the product.
Why don't you hold stock?
Because stock decides designs. A warehouse full of one battery makes that battery the answer to every question. We buy for each job, forgo bulk pricing, and keep the freedom to choose the right product for the property, and to upgrade it if the timeline moves.
Where the work happens
Designed in-house, installed locally
We design in Lismore. Accredited local partners install in NSW, south-east Queensland and South Australia. The partner network is growing.
Questions
Straight answers
How big a battery suits my inverter?
Plan on about twice the inverter size in battery. A 5 kW inverter pairs with roughly 10 kWh of storage, and a 10 kW inverter with roughly 20 kWh. That ratio is the rule of thumb we design to. Your loads and your winter set the final number.
Can a 9 kWh Sigenergy battery run a 5 kW inverter?
Not at full output. Sigenergy modules discharge at around 0.5C, so about 9 kWh of modules delivers about 4.5 kW. To get the full 5 kW, the design adds modules.
What size battery are most people installing?
At the moment the average battery most people are installing is about 24 kWh. Smaller systems like the Weekender suit tiny houses and cabins, and the design sizes yours to what you want to run.
How do I get the most out of the federal battery rebate?
The Cheaper Home Batteries Program pays its full rate on the first 14 kWh of usable storage, a reduced rate from 14 to 28 kWh, and a small contribution from 28 to 50 kWh. A battery around 27 kWh gets you most of what the scheme offers. You only get the rebate once. If 27 kWh is out of reach right now, our advice is to wait, save, and keep a generator for backup in the meantime. The discount steps down from the end of 2026, and your design shows the exact figure as one line item.
What's the cheapest way to pay for a system?
In our view, a bank loan, a mortgage top-up or a green loan from your own lender beats a solar finance loan or an interest-free deal. You own the system outright, and the finance sits with a lender you already know. Talk to your lender first, then bring that number to the design.
Off-grid or hybrid: which suits my property?
Hybrid is solar plus a battery, with the grid as backup. You keep the connection, and you keep paying the daily supply charge. Full off-grid means no poles and no daily charge. We size it for winter and wire in a generator for backup. A new rural build or an unconnected block often suits off-grid. A connected home that wants blackout backup often starts hybrid, with the option to cut the wire later.
Who designs and installs the system, and where do you work?
We design every system in-house at our Lismore head office. Accredited local partners install it in NSW, south-east Queensland and South Australia. The business holds an electrical contractor's licence. Outside those regions, ask us and we'll tell you straight whether a partner can reach you.
Which brands do you design with?
We pick the gear after the design, so the property decides the brand. We work with Sigenergy SigenStor (a modular tower that starts near 8 kWh and grows past 40), Deye hybrid inverters, EcoFlow OCEAN 2 and Victron, which is where we started 15 years ago. Start with a custom design and we'll show you which one fits.
