Designing Off-Grid Solar Systems for the Australian Outback

By Ecomac Energy Team · 16 June 2026

From homestead loads to remote pump stations, off-grid design is a different beast. Here is our approach.

Off-grid is unforgiving. There is no utility to fall back on, no grid feed-in to soak up excess, and the cost of a callout to a remote site is significant. Our off-grid systems are designed around three principles: oversize the array, right-size the battery bank, and use a hybrid inverter platform that can integrate a backup generator cleanly. This article shares our standard topologies for 5kW, 15kW and 50kW off-grid sites — including real components we trust on Australian farms.
