When the electricity grid is too far away or you prefer to be independent from power bills, a stand-alone system is for you.

Stand-alone power includes a range of high-tech equipment to provide you with a seamless energy supply. The components can include solar panels, wind turbine, regulator / charge controller, batteries, battery charger, inverter & genset for back up.

Each system is custom designed and built for the needs of its owner. A thorough assessment of loads (consumption) is the first and most critical stage of system design. It is important to consider more than just the electricity supply - water heating, space heating, ventilation, even the choice of home construction materials will affect the long term energy needs of the occupants. Off the shelf / generic kits are not designed for your individual situation or lifestyle and usually won't perform when needed.
