FAQs

A. If you dream of being an off-grid maverick, then solar panels and battery storage can offer partial or even complete energy independence from the grid. With enough panels and storage, properties and businesses may not need to purchase power from energy suppliers as they are producing enough to be self-sufficient.

 

This is particularly handy for remote locations or properties without sufficient access to standard forms of energy. Off-grid systems can provide reliable power for residential, commercial, or industrial properties, reducing reliance on diesel generators or costly grid extensions.

 

If you want to know more about off-grid, get in touch and we can advise on the scale of the system needed for your property or business.

A. Switching to solar energy is a smarter way to cut costs for your business. The exact savings depend on factors such as the size of the solar installation, the amount of sunlight your location receives, and current energy usage.
