PROJECT DETAIL

Objective:

High cost of connection for grid power, and a preference towards sustainable energy

Load Analysis:

15.3-19.6kWh average daily winter/summer demand; 6kW design surge

Site Considerations:

Optimal solar roof area and equipment room being built in preparation

System Design:

OEA Complete 80-48 System – 8kW 1-phase output
OEA Adapt mount – install in shed
53kWh sealed gel battery storage
7kW Polycrystalline solar array on roof – yielding an estimated 150% of average demand, and an excellent 126% in winter

6KVA backup generator (autostart)

After running their Murray Cod Aquaculture operation from expensive diesel generators for years, Coobool Downs wanted an alternative.

A huge effort by our team to salvage this system and provide a safe and working off-grid system for the Farrowing Property.

An off-grid system was required to replace the existing diesel generating plant, to offset diesel costs.
